23 August 2025

Two thousand two, I’m sleeping like a soldier,
From the cracks in the pavement, the world gets colder.
I had to make peace with the shadows hanging over my shoulders,
I'll tell you the same thing that I told her,

Keep repeating the mantra, one foot in front of the other,
This isn't the end,  it's the scene where you have to get tougher,
Always knew that I would come through one way or another,
But don't ever call me lucky, nah, I didn't get here 'cos I'm pretty,

And I would have got out if I had money for petty,
Bitch, I started off lower than shark shit in this city.

I was...


Barefoot in Brisbane
(Watching another dawn,)
Walking barefoot in Brisbane,
(Can't stop moving on,)


Learning my lessons from the Junkies round the tracks, 
I just kept on frontin’, because I'm never going back,
Money like sand, slipping through these hands like dust,
I got faith in the fuel light, but I'm gettin' low on trust,

I'm still running on empty, but my nothing is plenty,
You struggle to see you've got nothing to tempt me,
Tell me what you've done to make you fit to be judgin',
You Don’t get to check my privilege, like you came from nothing,

I had no bootstraps to pull on, but let me tell you something,
Those lurking in the shadows can still see the light coming,
But not before you learn there's danger blind trustin'
You're getting bogged down, but I’m still running...


Barefoot in Brisbane
(Maybe you ought to try)
Running barefoot in Brisbane
(Just don't look them in the eye,)


Hey, Looking down your nose ain't so good for your neck, when you're older, 
Sinking under the weight of that chip on your shoulder,
Look, stay out of my way while I'm chasing my dreams in a steamroller,
Say, How'd your mum go with all the pingers I sold her?

I see the maths ain't mathin', when you try to figure me, 
The answers aren't on my face, they're on the soles of my feet,
You don't know that you're wrong, I've been moved along,
Just to make more space for you, 
You can't solve problems if you haven't got a clue,

One day We'll see who's right, just by seeing who's left, and who's who,
Spend less time judging me, worry about who's judging you,
I can still feel your fingers through all the scar tissue,
'till then I'll just remember being...


Barefoot in Brisbane
(It's where you learn just who you are)
barefoot in Brisbane
(Sleeping under a blanket made of stars)

I was...
Barefoot in Brisbane
(Watching another dawn,)
Walking barefoot in Brisbane,


Barefoot in Brisbane

“The version They Tried to Bury- Mic in the Rubble” is a ciphered anthem of survival, refusal, and sonic reclamation. It’s about the voice that wasn’t silenced—the version they tried to bury but couldn’t. The lyric positions the microphone as a symbol of resistance rising from destruction: not polished, not pristine, but embedded in the debris of historical betrayal and imperial distortion.
Here’s the core narrative:
🔥 The Rubble: Represents the aftermath of deceit—broken treaties, erased testimonies, and silenced truths. It’s the physical and symbolic residue of colonial mandates, propaganda, and systemic violence.
🎙️ The Mic: Emerges from that rubble as a tool of reclamation. It’s not just for speech—it’s for indictment, coded critique, and ancestral echo. The lyric suggests that even when the world collapses, the cipher survives.
🧠 The Message: You can bury the archive, distort the optics, and pave over the truth—but the voice will rise. The mic in the rubble isn’t just a metaphor—it’s a refusal to let silence win.

Philly's GrandeMarshall came into the scene with a trail of burning rubber in his wake, dropping the acclaimed 800 and Mugga Man mixtapes while still in his teens and linking with Fool's Gold, home to innovative, independent-minded rap releases from Danny Brown, Run The Jewels and more. Fans flock to Grande's multi-layered quotables and smoked-out ear for beats, and the MC's heavily anticipated My Brothers Keeper is his purest, most potent vision yet.

After throwing down the gauntlet with "Pull Up's Theme," GM offers up "The Formula," dropping bar after bar of that "real spill" he's renowned for, atop a moody, trunk-walloping beat from longtime collaborator Ben Pramuk (who handles production throughout the entire project). Stay tuned for more MBK music leading up to the full-length release this January.
