Done The Sums

Shit, again?
Man, how'd you guys get this far?
It's killing me, it's killing me
How you doin'?
Man, I can't get over this grey hair thing, man
Oh yeah?
Hey, nothin', don't judge a book by its cover, you know?
I've been meaning to say something
Oh, hold on, wait a sec, you say

As a kid I used to think of how I'd be in 2000
Like if I put the hours in would I be buyin' houses
How the hell I get away without an internet browser
Thought nothin' of what we got out the bowser
Never thought hip-hop would be anything but on the outer
Like why even your supporters are doubters
Award-winning but in it for love like how is
Nostalgia's a shipwreck we've booted to salvage, now
School reunions, proof we're all human
Some are home a decade later and they're not movin'
And I've travelled the world 'cause I like to roam
Always back to Kingsford St 'cause I like my home
On these microphones that we name and we document change
Friends with newborns, no longer all that strange
Shit, I'm still turning the page, walking the path
Messin' 'round at the back of the class

"Keep on"
"Keep on"
"Keep on"
"Keep on"

Man, we all got expectations, nobody's perfect
I'm tryna rock these final takes before I'm thirty
Been a decade of mics and loves, pubs and gigs
At times didn't know right from wrong or what to think
My philosophy is live life to the colostomy bag
Or end your days misplaced like some apostrophes have
Hood right up in a street mag versus the right hand
Of a friend of the end, now the bond's so tight
Forgot to be frightened was the key to jumpin'
Off of something so high it got your heart pumping
From bass bins thumpin' in the middle of Emerald Road
To Tofu strummin' in the middle of Mexico
The whole time, Adrock to help me keep it eloquent
Trace element to dial tone to bass elephant
Man, I'm not here 'cause of family or mates
Even if this joint drops in 2008, ah-ha-ha

I done the sums and I done got stung
With each year, one step up the rung
Swear I didn't see her but here she comes
There's no regrets, that's it, it's done
I done the sums and I done got stung
With each year, one step up the rung
Swear I didn't see her but here she comes
There's no regrets, there's more to come

Mm, time keeps on ticking, flicking through the photo album
I'm thinking to myself how far has Hau come
Moved through mountains, I've worked with outcome
Both good and bad
Since the first day I laid my hands on a pen and a pad, man
Sending you back down memory lane, every pleasure, every pain
From slick outfits to clothes I'd wear never again
Now I dress mature to coincide with the sound
That coincides with the attitude that has a newfound
Lease on life, my boys now have a girl they call a wife
Some even have kids, nine-to-five
With a mortgage, prioritising's important
Where I'll buy into when I can afford it
I'm on my way, I've already called it
So your no commitment's in no shortage, huh
Something I thought I'd have by now, but Hau
Still living his childhood, he's good at the moment
He's only thirty years young, doggone it
But when I'm ready to get that white picket fence, I'm on it, come on

I done the sums and I done got stung
With each year, one step up the rung
Swear I didn't see her but here she comes
There's no regrets, that's it, it's done
I done the sums and I done got stung
With each year, one step up the rung
Swear I didn't see her but here she comes
There's no regrets, there's more to come
I done the sums and I done got stung
With each year, one step up the rung
Swear I didn't see her but here she comes
There's no regrets, that's it, it's done
I done the sums and I done got stung
With each year, one step up the rung
Swear I didn't see her but here she comes
There's no regrets, there's more to come

"Keep on"
"Keep on"
"Keep on"
