Lyrics
Wake up
Uno, dos, uno, dos, tres, quatro
Wake up
Every day is not the same as any other
There's always something new to discover
And I'm a lover of discovery
I search for beats to recover me
From sleep and smother me in basslines lovely
I'd rather be writing than fighting, something exciting to me
Is a beat from OBT
Hopefully the day starts well and I don't dwell
On the negativity that plagues any big city
I walk out the door and it's all good
Tapes around the neighbourhood
Time to break the fast for food
And to get in the right mood to accomplish some goals
Even if I'm hungover, staggering like new-born foals
I rake the coals, looking for a burning ember
Every day is a party like the last day of December
Every day is a gift, we've got a life to live
So wake up and shake up, take some and give
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
"Ah, this country's got everything, except money."
"Yes, but, uh, we've got the talkies, love
And the gramophone, and the wireless."
Every day I face a challenge to try and find the balance
To do myself the minimum of damage
Temptation leads and I follow, but sadness is hollow
A bitter pill that I sometimes swallow
I borrow with ease and girls'll call me a sleaze
But I always say please, I'm on some Aussie disease
I love beatin' Kiwis, and koalas and gumtrees
And kookaburras and birds of any other
Species or race, I'm not divided in taste
I see the world as a place that's blessed with the grace
Of individuality, I'm actively involved with the melody
Actually a specialty of mine, reality rhymes
My tragedy finds me in a good spot, with a good lot
I wake up every day and I'm livin' Aussie hip-hop
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Some may find it strange, I want it rearranged
I wanna see pieces on trains and peace for a change
I wanna see danger erased, leaving no trace, no chase
No latest craze, no waste, no leaving that bad taste
No case to answer, breaking rules like a dancer
Taking a chance, standing and making advances
Australian hip-hop enhances my cultural perspective
I'm part of a collective that's worldwide respected
Every day I wake up and try and affect it
I'll never perfect it, and I'll never accept that
My mind is rap and it's a trap, I'll find out
Perhaps I'll come back with a new style and all that
Is another day in the process to progress and grow best
To succeed in what I love best
It's all a test, and I've said it before
That every day is yours, and every day is one more
Wake up
"He'll be right, pay him back on the never never loan."
"That's great."
"Oh, you men, come away from the bar and
Enjoy yourselves. Life's for living."
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
Wake up to wipe the sleep from my eyes
And I rise to face another day
