lyrics

VERSE 2+++

a life time dedicated to entertainment.
cause i never did look good in an apron.
never made it. but i really never made it
to make it. only wanted to make a statement.

hoping that somebody out there related.
never gave a shit if radio played it.
i made it for the same kids that were raised in
the same kind of neighbourhood i was made in.

i paint this picture to explain the pain of
my neighbours on the minimum wage with
8 kids on the grave shift. cause i came in
the same kind of plane they came in.

i raised by a bassist.
who played on the same stages as the wailers.
and a lot of other famous entertainers
plus all the nameless so called failures.

_________________________

who never got no praises for the greatness.
never on the front pages on the papers
just on the back same name in ingraved
on the grave. mean i'm back stage pacing.

man i don’t wanna be the greatest
i don’t wanna be no kelly slater.
i don’t wanna.i don’t wanna be no sammie davis.
i don’t wanna be an entertainer.

some of my favourite artists are waiters
fuck being famous.
my favourite rapper got shot in las vegas.
in chuck tailors

and i been hated, celebrated, humiliated
mistranslated. castrated
on the main stage and my mum had to watch.
all for your entertainment. mm.

Average Rap Band Melbourne, Australia

From the derelict coffee shop waste land of Smith Street, Melbourne come two dyslexic track pant enthusiasts with nothing else going for them but a talent to make pointless words rhyme in succession and a knack for petty theft.
