[VERSE 1] Yeah I get the loop in my head then I put it on replay
 Get drunk and start staggerin across the freeway Or highway, whatever I’m high hey Why haven’t the Hoods replied to me on Myspace?
 Maybe it’s coz I’m a pervert and they heard it
 People say I’m an asshole, this song confirms it
 Call my ex just to try and work things out
 While I’m takin a shit at my new girlfriend’s house, what! Yeah, this next release I’m plannin
 Got no talent but it got heaps of swearin
 Tell you that you can come through for cheap recording
 Then extort you, there’s been a price increase this morning
 One day I plan to be loaded with G’s
 So I can blow em all at once on a poker machine
 Got a sign on my door and it says stay out you cunt
 I been destined for great things since I came out my mum [CUT CHORUS] [VERSE 2] Drunk loner, I woke up hung over Hunched over some weird looking slut's sofa So much for going the entire month sober Made the commitment to set it straight then got drunk to celebrate In the car pushin accelerate, no hesitate Coz I can see pop stars up ahead with dates I wouldn’t bother putting out a clean version of my raps Coz it'd be just like a beat with three words on the track Standin in line with a Bi-Lo application In a night robe lookin like a psycho, agitated I got problems, I’m only focused on tits A solar eclipse’d have me still focused on tits It’s Verbill, I’m not all that But I’ll still take a shit where your lawns at then again on your doormat I heard your shit and had to pause that Ponderin what the fuck you was thinking when you decided to record that [CUT CHORUS]

Slice 03:30
[VERSE 1] Ayo I hate to say, that I hate the way that life’s treatin me
 But day to day I could take away this life easily
 Yeah, I think about it quite frequently
 If I could just erase my face, escape this place and lie peacefully
 And not have to keep dealin with stress
 Feelin depressed, if I could just ease all the tensh
 I’d do it in a split sec, why? Coz I’m not impressed 
 With life or existence, all it fuckin brings stress
 I need to find a place that’s heaven to me
 Coz this shit inevitably a get the better of me
 And I can’t seem to get my head straight Yeah goin to bed late, then wakin up with a fuckin headache
 I ain’t no genius, but that ain’t sound correct
 And my bank balance is low as fuck man, I’m outta ched
 This amount of stress too much to get around my head
 Sometimes I wish I’d go to sleep and never wake from out of bed [CHORUS] [VERSE 2] Yeah, ain’t it funny the way life treats us Might as well get a great big stick and beat us Seems to get worse just when we need it to ease up Strange but I guess that’s just the way it’s meant to be, huh? I think the key’s ta, never let it defeat ya
 No matter what challenge rises up to meet ya
 No matter what it is, you need to stick on your feet bruh
 And keep shit positive, coz
 Life is tough, sometimes you feel like givin up
 Gotta search for that strength in you and pick it up
 We only livin once, think of all the different stuff
 Our ancestors had to go through to get to us
 What a waste on their part, not to live it up
 Better yet a waste on ours, to really spit it blunt
 We only livin once but think of all the different stuff
 We could achieve before our time of livin’s up [CHORUS]

[VERSE 1] Hey yo, this song is dedicated to that one special girl
 Who rocked my world, more beautiful than a precious pearl
 She had a soft touch that could sooth me
 When I was with her the boys thought I was actin loony
 A natural beauty and I’m truly all gratitudey she happened to me
 After we hung, no other girls even mattered to me
 Such a pretty face, such a gorgeous smile
 Sophisticated, but all the while she was sorta wild
 I still remember, the first time I ever seen her
 Thinkin back now, it’s almost like I was meant to meet her
 For real, she was my world, was my everything
 Her lips pressed against the V, the recipe for ecstasy
 Cherished memories, her in bed with me layin next to me
 I kissed her as she fell asleep and prayed that what she dreamt was sweet
 At one point, I even thought that we was meant to be
 But the river thinned out and we drifted into separate streams
 [CHORUS] Coz you was my girl, and you was my world and You was my queen, and you was my dream and You were my everything I’m still reminiscing bout them days When you was my girl, and you was my world and You was my queen, and you was my dream and You were my everything, You were my everything [VERSE 2] When people ask me what I miss the most, from being with my close
 Pal, it’s hard coz the whole entire list was dope
 Was it the flicks we scoped, trips we took to different coasts
 Or laughing so hard at silly jokes, we nearly choked
 Partyin all night, buyin drinks, killin doe
 Seein her face when she first saw the winter snow
 Was it the hotel rooms where we kicked it low
 Ordered room service then went downstairs and dipped our toes
 On the way back, saw the door sign and flipped it so
 I could see that tattoo folks didn’t know existed yo
 Jet skiin when she kept screamin, let me get off
 And I kept speedin to the extreme, laughing my head off
 These memories is red hot, the time we spent it went off
 That’s why I just can’t put one thing at the head coz
 Everything I did with this lady, it drove me crazy
 And I can still taste them tasty little pastries that she baked me
 Fade me
 [CHORUS] Repeat [VERSE 3] I still remember when I asked you out After that party at the front of that house
 And you was grinnin before I said it coz you knew where I was headin
 I used to wake up, see you puttin on make up
 Towel wrapped around your hair, goin straight up
 Remember when I stayed up (remember when I stayed up) in hospital all night By your side to make sure you was alright
 Yeah makin sure you was alright was my business
 Guess what I found the other day, some items of interest
 First item, picked it up, gave our itinerary a glance
 Trips to Switzerland, Italy and to France
 Love letters you’d written me, photos of you kissin me
 Gifts you’d given me, you shittin me
 Do you remember when we flew together Watched the tube together, ordered food together
 Then you crashed out on my shoulder, lookin cute as ever
 Out the window a sight, photographers pursue and treasure
 But to me the view of you was better
 I’ll remember you forever [CHORUS] Repeat [OUTRO] All day (all day yeah) All night (and all night what) You had me thinking bout loving (you had me thinking bout it) You had me thinking bout loving (you had me thinking bout it) All day, all night You had me thinking bout loving You had me thinking bout loving Well I was only reminiscing bout the times we shared you and me my girl that was the best time of my life yeah of my life yeah See I was only reminiscing bout the times we shared you and me girl was the best time of my life yeah of my life yeah

Burnin 05:10
[VERSE 1] You ever sat there sayin to yourself, what the fuck? Twenty-three years old, still stuck in a rut Shit should’ve popped off by now It’s frustrating watching my old man working round the clock right now Plus, he goin in for an op' like now I’m droppin him off at the hos' and the cost quite foul I’m still livin in my Grandma crib, and I love her the best But it’s time I got the fuck up and left And found a place I can call my home, call my own So when I meet my sunshine, we can chill and unwind To something divine with crushed lime While I send my family on holiday, tell em they should upsize Tell em when they get back, there’s no more bus rides Or alarm clocks with buzz times for when it’s unbright I wanna see all I’m rhymin about, something’s holding me back I’m doing my best to drive it on out, and it's [CHORUS] BURNIN All the fire inside of me, the desire to try and be, who I aspire to be is BURNIN I got things that I want to achieve before I leave that I just gotta cease and it’s BURNIN I won’t stop till I get what I want Know where I’m headin and I ain’t gonna flop because it’s BURNIN Anybody get in my way I’m BURNIN Yeah I’m BURNIN [VERSE 2] I got dreams of rockin on stage with thousands of fans Have my lyrics touch they soul, out where they stand Have em singing the words I wrote out with my hand Screamin, loud as they can, front row out to the stands But these dreams of rockin on stage They seem kinda distant when you work a job that you hate Plus your boss got you rostered for lates I can’t quit just yet man, everybody gotta get paid! I wanna travel the world though, out to Japan To deserts in Dubai and stand on mountains of sand But the difference is, I don’t wanna rush back for business shit To work a shit job, that’s not how I envision this Sittin stiff with a tie ain’t written in my list of things I wanna say I did with my life, I’m being strict with this I gotta do all I can to make it happen Coz right now I’m at the point where I’m nearly snappin, and it's [CHORUS] Repeat [VERSE 3] So as I sit with my thoughts of livin large here In the same place that I been since last year I need to make things happen in my life I need to change a few patterns in my life Coz every year.. I count down with the same people in the same place Same drink in my hand, in the same state Sayin the same thing, like man this year went quick Next year’s gonna be good, I can sense it Same list of goals, missing the same ticks Same lame excuses, for the same shit Same old story, same bullshit, same stress Same job, same fucking everything else

[VERSE 1] Ayo I wanna take it back, to when I used to drink a lot
 Wake up and not remember what I did a lot
 Back when I was too young to buy a liquor bot
 And had to ask somebody else to go in the shop
 They were them days that I miss a lot
 Responsibility now, stress, I take it back to kill it off
 So if I’m driftin off chillin with a grin it’s coz
 I’m thinkin of them times, man they really was a gift from God
 We used’ta smoke a little buddha by the skate park
 Grownups in the area used to hate us
 It was cool, hip hop connected dudes from different schools
 And brought us all together so we could roll as a single crew
 It wasn’t just hip hop, nah it was drinkin to
o Smokin weed, skateboardin, chasin chicks with boobs
 You know all that mad fun shit the kids’d do
 Before we had to switch into career mode and fill them shoes
 Meetin the lads down the park to sink a few
 Back when Elsie was mixin his own ginger brew
 We’d party til the cops came, then we’d kick it to
 The next location to continue getting friggin loose
! Runnin from cops, cuttin across
 Fields, creeks, bushes, the kicks’d need a scrub and a wash
 Arrive at the next spot, still buzzin like what
! They was them old school days yeah, and fuck they was hot
 [CUT CHORUS] [VERSE 2] Back when we was little cool bandits Gettin kicked out of school dances
 Not a care out, makin parents tear hairs out
 We used to get up to the sickest shit
 I’m talkin bout when our phones was big as shit
 But still weren’t considered bricks
 Freestylin in the backyard, drunk spittin shit
 Props to Buer, hands down he was the king of it
 Drunk off goon sacks, and suckin the fumes back
 Classy I know, but the truth it got ya loose as
 Apologising the next day, coz I was too trashed
 Denying I hooked up with that bitch, man she was too fat
 Why are you mad? I know most of yall’a done it too
 Matter of fact, I had that shit done to me by one or two
 Memories of just hangin, with a bunch of the crew
 Catching a bus to some dude’s party who none of us knew
 Or piling-in the maxi taxi, drunken
 Still remember the adrenalin of when we jumped em
 Speakin of jumpin we used to crash in the school gym
 On high jump mats and break in with that dude Kling
 I remember they took the bad dudes from class at school
 Put us into the one, like that was the smartest move
.. Back when I got home so late, my folks thought I was early
 Back when I didn’t have a car, I was walkin the journey
 Back when I’d link with Lflows for parties
 Grab a bottle of Old Crow and go halvies [CUT CHORUS] [VERSE 3] We in the party now, rockin to the atmosphere Chillin round the back, hangin loose on plastic chairs
 You know the point, where you’re finishin your last pour
 Bout to make a start on all them beers that aren’t yours
 A certain chick walks in and you notice her
 You seen her around school but never spoke to her
 But now that you got a little rum and coke in ya It’s gonna happen, just gotta wait for the moment ta Walk up, smoothly and say something slick
 But on your way over, all you do is stumble pissed
 And when you go to speak, all you do is mumble shit
 Plus you’ve even bumped and spilt your drink over the stunner’s kicks
 Plus you ain’t looked nowhere but her tits
 For real, ain’t even looked up once and it’s
 Obvious to everyone that you’ve fucked it big
 But what they don’t know, ya luck is in, she dug the kid
 For a while she’s had a real big crush and it’s
 Just then when you reach in and bust a kiss
 She tastes of bubble gum, it’s funny how you notice it
 When you’ve been drinkin loads and you’ve been smokin shit
 Ya still kissin her, grinnin out the back of ya head
 A sick night, and you managed to get
 The hottest chick in the whole place, your friends goin, oh great, yeah Take me back to the old days [CUT CHORUS] [OUTRO] Yeah, I think back to them days I really miss them days I think back to them days I really wish them days Would come back around so I could relive them days But I can’t relive them days so I gotta miss them days (repeat)
