VERSE ONE
just another twenty four sitting on a spinning ball
somewhere in infinity until i hit a wall. ow
way too many thoughts, what i got the henny for. 
really don't drink much anymore but i'm when i'm bored

or insecure i’m headed for the liquor store to get a cure
let it pour, get a 40 and forget it all
every thought, Rick and Morty forever more. 
never fall off, never lose, never check the score

clever dork, should've got a medal for the metaphor 
the best you never saw in any record store
they'll probably find me when i'm dead like the stegosaurus 
but I been dead before i was ever born. so

what's the point of it all, if there was even one
i really don't believe in none of that ‘one day we become 
the stars’ kinda shit. man i been too busy being young.
i been a cunt all of my life i never claimed to be a nun. 

i got no time to the bumb, when i’m done i bet i come 
back as one. and i bet. nobody will leave me one 
crumb in the next life. trynna get my head right
before i turn a fiancé into an x-wife. 

gotta squeeze her cheeks when she’s reaching for the bed light. 
a little bit of head before i rest my head, nice.
that’s what i like, why i gotta lie? what am i
but another guy, i ain’t gotta try philosophise shit.

i just wanna write, i don’t wanna fight about what is right. 
i ain’t got all night. gotta flight in the morn. 
i’m bored. yaaawn. anybody got a light?
everybody got a right to say what they like, i know 

so i’d like to say ‘i hope that you drop and die’
maybe then you’ll be happy that you got a life. 
give a FOCk if you gotta lotta likes. what is life 
when you’re not alive. why does every line gotta rhyme?

fuck this. how many drunk trust fund kids
does that it take before mature discussions
become some ruckus with mumbling fuckwits. 
can we all just agree to disagree it just is what it is 

VERSE TWO
Just another day as they say same state of mind 
if I'm scraping by or getting paid 
ain't chasing my dreams no more, just letting fate do his work 
cause fuck all ever happens for the few who deserve to be heard 

still the world turns fuck the early bird and his worm
hope the seas eat the earth and first world 
drowns in the money never shared case they never cared 
cleared from the land that was never theirs

better get prepared or your death better yet better get a beer
chill why you thinking bout that shit I thought you never scared 
well I was lying can't deny the fear inside of me
driving me so I don't have to think about what might of been

I might as well find a pen and write again 
but why is the horizon always moving no matter how hard I try and get a little closer
Just another thing I'll never know 
until I make there or I'm comatose overdosed 

but who really cares sit at home blowing Os in the air 
watch them disappear guess that's how it goes 
no ones there in the end don't pretend that you didn't know 
focus on the present it's the one think that will never go

Henn & coke when I'm low I don't like to sip it straight 
till I'm typsy then I'm sniffing blow off of dinner plates
used to only think bout getting laid when it's getting late
now getting straight haven't slept in seven days

okay that's exaggerated but you get what I'm saying
trying to get my head on straight and pen upon the page 
before I loose em both to the black hole that is calling me
over being broke man I can't even afford to feed a beggar

but its whatever don't really give a shit
I don't know why I'm here man I don't why I exist
and I don't know why i thought about it since I was a kid
but I don't want to analyse no more it just is what is what is


What It Is

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. 

After their former critically acclaimed, award losing group @peace imploded upon itself due to a collective mental break down caused by a lack of government funding in the psychiatric sector, leading to a series of severe psychotic episodes, Lui and Tom were left alone with nothing but a dream and $12.70 in their paypayl account. 

In a feeble attempt to regain their sanity they created The Average Rap Band. With utter naivety and a total lack of understanding of the current popular musical climate they decided the main focus of the group would be the lyrics. An obsolete medium that was made redundant in the late 1990s. 

Working with bearded enigma Dandruff Dicky and poltergeist expert Hone St John they created a 6 track Video EP entitled 'Stream Of Nonsenseness'. The EP was the first of it’s kind, not including the one Beyonce did and all the other people that have done it already. The EP was made with a $42 budget and shot entirely on a Nokia 3210. 

Interlude

VERSE ONE
sitting on the tram dirt broke like a motherfucker
paranoid that the lady next to me's undercover 
done a runner just the other week from the tram cops.  
i ain’t running anymore more bruv i got knees like my grand pops 

back in the day i had a little hops
then i got old and my shot got cold when that whiskey got 
cool, that was round the time i cooled off too
i went from ‘you know who’ into a ‘who are you?’

well i’m a lazy ass / motivated as fuck 
creative, that couldn’t give a nut what he’s labelled as
take me as just a disobedient maniac
the media paint me as on TV to make the adds 

sell if you like or you could take a tab
and then realise you’re just a naked animal 
like i am too just another ape in drag
80s smack baby that crazy cat lady had. 

homosapien. that lady that 
made ‘Bag Lady’ fan. playing gap band 
loud like you play The Clash, till i make the neighbours mad
making  tracks till the day I lay in ash. save all that

making wack shit for Baby Bash. 
i don’t need to chase the cash in no rat race. fuck the latest fad
don’t rock roshes, never rated breaking bad
i just want a good paper back when i take a crap. 

i’m okay with that. shux. i get paid to rap
and i never made it but at least i'm not making adds
so i ride that damn tram like a trans am 
feeling like a billionaire on band camp. bam bam 

bigelow. i spit that goku shit. their piccolo. 
pick a flow to kick and go with it with no video.  
and if it don't do it for you i give a fuck this isn't no 
audition so if you don't wanna listen then don't listen bro. 

but any whoooo… twenty two brews down
and now i'm ready to get into a new style 
i'm in a henny mood but remmy's cool, whatever dude
get me any booze. anybody got any loot? 10 to 2.

Is it ever too late to get a new attitude on life? 
or am i already screwed?
spent a few too many afternoons in my room 
stressing bout impending doom bending spoons

time to end the bull and do something commendable 
spent too much time pretending to, John Lennon knew
i'm going to bed, wake me up when the rent is due 
matter fact, wake me up at the end of june. then i’ll do 

the dishes. bitches.  
taking pictures of themselves blowing kisses. fuck is this?

VERSE TWO
when I got nowhere to go I just pick a flow and roll with it 
stoned and just got off the boat and I'm stoked with it 
spending time penning rhymes getting by only cause 
I don't give fuck bout being broke it makes no difference  

to me what so ever if I'm hungry then I'll go get it
steal a couple loafs still I'm happy when there's no dinner 
got a couple things going on so the dope dealings
left up to the bros selling blow case the hoes sniff it

no critics saying shit I don't already no 
bitter old bitches open your mouth and put my whole dick in
no gimmicks only case I ain't bout the hoe shit and
even if nobody notice that you don't know shit

I see it cause it's openly obvious you don't really know how to make a..
nah got no time to focus on dumb shit 
cause I'm too busy working on my own shit
my old shit is old better get somewhere to go quick 

cause only prolific make it to the podium
and I'm trying to get to where the bro is and
no distance is enough to make a difference
when i get to going this is just another moment to hold better roll with it.
