Your City

You don't know your city like, your city like, you say
You barely know the people round your way
You live in a bubble, might as well be outer space
But you could be in trouble if you stray

If the Apple don't fall far from the tree
Better watch how you water your seeds
All they gon fall like them autumn leaves
Real talk I just want you to be more then me
A give more to the streets then what autumn leaves
In other words I've given all that I am
I didn't have much but I've given more than I can
I'm a mother's son so u know I'm more than a man
Don't believe in God but you know this was part of the plan
This that early morning curlew singing out type of shit
Second time this week I aint cut out for this shit
Sky wavy mumma get that phone call
Gotta wait till she can even talk until I know more
Speechless ring ring pick up the phone like who speaking
I can hear em grieving screaming
Man I hate the feeling
I really wear my city on my sleeve
Coz thats place were all my brothers sleep say less budda

You don't know your city like, your city like, you say
You barely know the people round your way
You live in a bubble, might as well be outer space
But you could be in trouble if you stray

You don't know your city like, your city like, you say
You barely know the people round your way
You live in a bubble, might as well be outer space
But you could be in trouble if you stray

Cricket pitches and bible belts
Fibro house that got a highbrow moat
Young fam in the apartment with the high loud note
Tryna whisper her to sleep with the light out though
Looking out into the distant glow
Why you think they keep the lighting in the building on
Leave it open yo that's where they get identity from
Lost kids and the places they pretend to be from
Everywhere but where the parents had gone
Jack Mundey in a Hunter's Hill mansion
Prominently hung above the grandson
First grandson, I remember Rocky Point Rd
In the car with ALF heading home (rest in peace bro)
Cast a long shadow as the bigger the sprawl
Salt water and no carpark it's easy to walk
Got my bearings but it's easy to talk
Until one day I move away from it all

You don't know your city like, your city like, you say
You barely know the people round your way
You live in a bubble, might as well be outer space
But you could be in trouble if you stray

You don't know your city like, your city like, you say
You barely know the people round your way
You live in a bubble, might as well be outer space
But you could be in trouble if you stray
