Don't Sideline Me

They say, go on barricade the way

You can sway me from my plan

Just know that I’m here to stay (and you should really get used to that)

Before we get started let me explain the premise

Let me write you a prescription you can take to the chemist

Of course we reinforce and endorse the fairness

They careless with the truth cos the truth don’t always suit

But I ain’t chewing on the bone like a new pup

Nor am I a vet that never know when he used up

Close and sharp like a crewcut, see I don't no

Image work look at my work it’s souped up

Let me cut it straight, I couldn’t dress a million bucks

If I tried I ain’t here to peddle lies

I’m just here to peddle until the grip wears off the tires

Now you wonder why I wear a different size (that’s room to move)

I kept it baggy while the world goin skintight

See if I hold it in I’m holding out the insight

And I ain’t hanging round beggin for no invite

Just don’t you ever sideline me

So I say, don’t underestimate me

You don’t know what I could do

And I’m not going away

Don’t sideline me

Don’t sideline me

Don’t sideline me

Don’t sideline me

It’s all about the outcome I’m used to being the one to underrate yep

I’m very comfortable boxing above my weight yep

And I’ve been doing it since the days of the tapedeck

Got a fire inside that I ain’t let escape yet

And I ain’t made yet, but I ain’t made until I’m up in

The grave and until then it’s breakneck

You can relax this sydney kids a safe bet

Been called a lot but not that I got a fake rep

What came out in the wash is what I stuck to

You pissed at the fact it cut through, fuck you

I ain’t stooped to talk down and suck you in

But by the same token I ain’t gonna tuck you in

So keep me at an arms length by all means and

Sanitise the life out like chlorine

But be a good host, come invite this tiger in

Maybe he won’t bite you in

They say, go on barricade the way

You can sway me from my plan

Just know that I’m here to stay

Don’t sideline me

Don’t sideline me

Don’t sideline me

Don’t sideline me

As strong as your hands may be

You cannot hold back what was meant to be
