Work Hard 04:56
Verse One: Its been 11 weeks, I ain’t coming down from this high called life
I don't get to sleep, cos i never let an opportunity fly right by They say its destiny, they say these stars all born and then they die in the sky. But this ain’t meant to be, cos if it was then i’d slack off and bide my time. Till I'm gone at four in the morning. I got a gig in sydney with V.S supporting. We close man I've seen this before but now ill never let the industry control my recordings. smoked weed for so long, my vision was clouded. my friends all left me, i left my girl, my world yet still feel so surrounded. This is so surreal, I'm broke got evicted out my house sleeping on a friends couch
now by word of mouth I'm out playing to crowds middle finger up to whoever did doubt me living out my bag, on the road to a show, but still crowded by sinners around me. so i tick the list off, to get my dick sucked in the bathroom stall with enough drink to drown me. i just want to see the world, maybe take you with me .
come on tell me girl, whats your favourite city. ill buy the flights right now just can you make me a promise, honest wait till the lights die down, I can’t believe that i got this goddess. Bridge: Got it, Got it, Good.
Like I’ve Got it, Got it, Good. You might think that i don’t got it, 
but i know i work hard for the money. 
 Repeat Bridge x3. 
 Chorus: 
You don't wanna win. 
because if you did then i know you’d work harder You don't wanna win. i know that you think i should open my heart up. You don't wanna win. i march on your walls and I'm bringing an army. 
i do this for them when i sit in the darkness getting my pain out just to bring to the party.


Verse Two: I stare at the sun, the day it has just begun, i am the one
look what i have overcome, no way my moment is done 
i wont succumb to playing Russian roulette with a gun to my head and let them go focus the bunt. I've been sewing the seems to my place in the scene no way is it coming undone. ill die on the front of the battle as long as the war it is won. I Won’t start falling for none. 
I think my calling has come, to find this they keep calling it love woh.
i can keep fucking this up, did once did it twice and now i am done. 
no re run, no said now i am done. Chorus: I know that you think i need to work harder
i know that you think i should open my heart up. 
March on your walls and I'm bringing an army. 
getting my pain out to bring to the party. Verse Three: 
My Ex-Girl just said I'm the loneliest guy that she know’s I looked up to a room full of friends and she was right i felt alone. 
So, why do i feel that way? How do i heal that pain? Tell me why my wrists all scared
and I'm asking the question asking the question like when will it change? I feel sick, so i smoke 6 cigarettes and a spliff just to calm my nerves.
i take a sip of the drink that i mixed with these pills, take a hit so i know that the paint wont hurt. 
blaze that herb to get faded, see lately it just makes it worse 
i just put words in a sentence hit the booth and god i just pray that it works. 

I just pray this works, i just pray that it works.

1st Verse: I’ve been sweet, i’ve been good living in my neighbourhood //
Ride with freaks, vibe to beats blazing lemon hazey kush. // Kissing pretty girls, I'm glad that they bring the goods. // She say she don't smoke but all it really takes a push. // Then she smoking and we zoning she’ll be a pro by the morning // at the pace that she is rolling up, rizzler joint after joint and // 
I think she picked her poison, good music and fine kush. //
A chat over dinner and drinks , she picking through my rhyme books. Now thats intimate, we kick it different to the guys that you usually hang with. (uh!) 
and when we in the bed, i can’t help but get in my head it feel like we share the same skin. // You stay the weekend, I see you creeping 
to my vinyl and pick out ‘A Tribe Called Quest’
So i think that I'm in love but I'm also so very drunk you wanna stay a whilst then be my guest. // Chorus: Cos I’m going no where all summer. Can i get your name & can i have your number? (Scratches) 
Cos I’m going no where all summer. Can I get your name & can i have your number? (Scratches) 2nd Verse I’ve been sweet, i’ve been good living in my neighbourhood //
ride with freaks, vibe to beats blazing lemon hazey kush. // Pray to god all the time, but damn he never answer //
but he been around since my mumma beat her cancer // i’ve been working hard, day job after day job but it never pay off, earn my scars, they want to take their shots, but the trigger on lock. // I'm going sober, just to make a record
see i did it for me though, I’ma make the effort. Not for you, though to sorry to be selfish 
but i mean i wish you well on all you're future endeavours. i mean seriously go get it. //
maybe i am just - drunk off all their compliments\ 
since i stopped drinking shots of patrone right before my concert it used to is giving my all my confidence, but who knows?
But I'm glad i ain’t been drunk at this last few shows. // another clean start, whats this, the 6th time. 
you cant polish a turd but sure as shit use some spit shine. being hien mytee made me fucking mightier & higher
angry and agitated when I can’t find my lighter. 
so straight away i medicate so my mind can hit nirvana
this my last sesh I’ma hit you after 
 Cos im going no where all summer. can i get your name & can i have your number? (Scratches) 
cos im going no where all summer. can i get your name & can i have your number? (Scratches) (BREAKDOWN OUTRO)

Sometimes 03:37
sometime for a long time, I was pissed off Make Love In the night but day light you get cross. end it off with an xo like were playing on that criss cross 
used to be look at each others eyes and get lost 
Somestimes, we laugh when it aint nothing funny sun shine when it aint really sunny On grind, out to get that money but i gotta ask, wonder what you want from me. babe cos its been different ever since you moved on 
didn't have time to listen when i wrote a new song. 
well that i know we don't deserve it.
 can you tell me the point and the purpose i aint certain that i can maintain this hurting,
 sometime I'm feeling worthless 

CHORUS: So i think that maybe
“You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes”
well your don't have to be to such a fucking trip
“sing it with me, You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” 
Im going crazy
sometimes I wanna up and quit // I just really 
“go where ive never been, see what i never saw, do what i never did” BUT YOU 
“ You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” 
 So i think that maybe
“You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” well your don't have to be to such a fucking trip
“sing it with me, You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” 
Im going crazy
sometimes wanna i up and quit // Well Maybe i should
“go where ive never been, see what i never saw, do what i never did” 
look I'm sorry that 
“sing it with me, You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” 
 









I just felt thatmaybe we getting a little too close, 
we need to grown i mean you know you know
 sorry I'm about to choke 
love you so but I've gotta go. 

Don't send me no four page letter. 
send you back 5 on why we cant be together. 
you gotta understand that this aint forever
we got change for the better. 
so wipe your tears girl, you gotta fight your fears girl 
you got life for years girl but honestly i just felt that sometimes. 
 X2 you were abusive, loose true we were in tune to the music dawn till noon wed groove found new feeling, soul blues healing and in the bed i swear you a true deamon. but there are other things that i needing the music changed me so im out to change these people cant do that if we only focus on our evils
i need some one who truly believes me. 
 X4 Used to cook me bacon and eggs 
Now for breakfast i get hate on instead
where were you last night, came half past five
 who's scent you wearing you smell like that naked sex. 

 CHORUS: So i think that maybe
“You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes”
well your don't have to be to such a fucking trip
“sing it with me, You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” 
Im going crazy
sometimes I wanna up and quit // Well Maybe i should
“go where ive never been, see what i never saw, do what i never did” but you 
“ You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” 
 So i think that maybe
“You should be nicer than you are, Sometimes” well your don't have to be to such a fucking trip

Intro: Every time You get high 
remain on your feet
cos the people below you 
well they just want you to see 
(I’d like to sing an old melody that’s very dear to me)

“Read between the lines, see what i see” VERSE ONE:
All I ever really want to do was change lives  Grab that stage mic and handle my rage right  But I can’t i’m a slave to the page like Every word that I write is law, it's definite as a day light Cuffed down and punched out, damn it's time to fight back,  It's a rise of rebels, I hope the empire doesn’t strike back  I’m 19, but I feel a lot older son  my homes gone , I'm Liea, the last child of Alderaan I know I've gotta find some kind of peace of mind, with the apple of your eye i never lived a peachy life, Cancer at 2, Broken neck at 14, Arks since 12. El, 19, I bring that raw heat. To make you bump your head so hard you’d snap your C-3,  Blow like C4 but I’m bringing art forms on  CD’s, I Came to do it different change opinions on what real is, yeah they spit that dope shit, but do you really feel it? Cos I write that deep shit to make you feel you been involved, like your mother on her death bed trying to wean the chemo off. She’s got no hair but she glamorous as always  perfume is sweet , these the memories of raw pain.  And I get it, you write singles to get the people moving, but i do this to connect, yeah i lead the peoples movement. We can take it were ever we want i swear that we can do it.  ‘Who am i?’ you ask, I’m just a kid who makes decent music. 


 CHORUS “When the beat bang” 
I stay on my feet. 
cos the people below you,
the only want you to see 
The Ugly Side
“read between the lines, see what i see” 
headphones on, and i’m kicking in my nikes. 

 VERSE TWO
: The young hippy kid, lungs soaked in tar,
 found my rhythm over drum tracks and old guitars. 
So bizarre, bleeding like an open scar
 but in a game full of animals all i know is Arks. 
And they say the grass is greener when it’s on the other side, 
I say thats bullshit, build your own design.
 Climbing up the roses vine yeah to grow an open mind 
play the game like Jumanji and go and roll the dice
 But I hope you don’t roll a ‘9’, gotta roll tonight 
make a move up on my chick i swear she cold as ice. 
Bullshit the big dick giant was ever friendly, 
Ella deadly as venom and yet he's barely even 20.
 So i’m settling in to everything i’ve ever been.
 My spirits in submission of these separate medicines. 
See fates knocking on my door i gotta let her in,
 cos she wants to talk to me about my genesis. 
Cos I’m stuck in my past, i ain’t making the same mistakes 
Over regretting decisions, I’m making em’ every day. 
So from now i’’ call the shots and bend the game,
 HIEN MYTEE’s the team and know that Eleji is the name 

CHORUS “When the beat bang” 
I stay on my feet. 
cos the people below you,
the only want you to see 
The Ugly Side
“read between the lines, see what i see” 
headphones on, and i’m kicking in my nikes.

I’m no super man, just human, stupid like bloopers man
Well i had the song but you the music man,

Don't wanna play horsie, ride my polo, ain’t talking about Portsea High but so low, nice but naughty, living life like its kinda awesome. 
She know i love her, don't get me wrong. We jump in the streets, cos we is 21. We just wanna have fun, wanna live our lives, like ride or die, well i ain’t that shy

Peach Peach Lip Balm Kisses) x2 
 VERSE TWO I could take you many places, please girl can i have a little taste, Im serious don't test my patience I’m just playing, feel my heart beat racing 
here we go like stare down the road, 
drive fast but I'm in control eyes on you like they on patrol //
eyes so blue can they feed my soul?
got hunger pains can you fill my bowl?
Like chop it, roll it, light it burn it. 
You my nun give me that sermon //
and i know its corny, and my mates did warn me, that when she come around like me so, me so, me so, Fuck, cant deal with it man, Put tongue in ya cheek,
Put your tongue in my cheek and we run real deep 
get under the sheets and rub till we freak and make love till its three in the morning make my life complete. 
make life complete, not a bit goes to waste 
on the top of my lips, well i can taste… CHORUS Peach Lip Balm Kisses, Who the hell am I kidding?

Peach Peach Lip Balm Kisses) x2

Nan’s in the hospital, you know she always loved you too , so i feel sad for you i know you here if possible. But fuck it brother always follow your dreams,  and who cares what they want, just give them what they need.  CHORUS The same old thing happened to me just the other afternoon  I was walking home, saw a face that made me think of you.  My mother told me, that you was doing fine Well I’mm not ever since, you said good bye.   Say Goodbye say goodbye ever since you said goodbye  Say GoodBye say goodbye ever since you said goodbye   VERSE TWO Another summer done passed, and i haven’t heard from ya, what a bummer, i just wanna, know. If you alive, wanna know if you alright, I’ll be honest a part me still loves ya.  With you i’m connected,   when you up and left i felt so rejected, disrespected, i was angry at the world. I was kept a secret, you ashamed of me girl? How dare you,  love me so much that it scared you. So cold, you turn stone when you’re feeling so alone so i look in your eye’s and you stare through mine, and i ain’t surprised.  tell me that you love me and it ain’t lie, but we is too different, you want other guys and thats cool B, just tell me don’t fuck my mind. Cos I’m sick of in it honestly  I gotta stick to my policy  that the music come first  If I can’t be heard, then that shit will bother me. She said call me in ten years, Well see what happens when we both can get there. She say boy just follow your dreams.  Who cares what they want. just give them what they need.   CHORUS The same old thing happened to me just the other afternoon  I was walking home, saw a face that made me think of you.  My mother told me, that you was doing fine Well I’mm not ever since, you said good bye.   Say Goodbye say goodbye ever since you said goodbye  Say GoodBye say goodbye ever since you said goodbye   VERSE THREE. And Dad i’ve forgiven for everything,
Because of you, I’ve learnt to be a better me. 
And Mum you know ill always love you, cos you work so hard, i’m so proud to be your son. You taught me to be me, for me and me alone,
I just want to thank you both for the way I've grown yeah to make my home
and through all the shit we’ve seen and been through, to came out on the other side
to all my friends and fam, I want you all to know that I love you guys. You’re the reason that i fucking ride. 
You’re the reason that i fucking write.
You’re the reason I'm tucked inside on a Friday night,
and I'm penning these lines. Instead of racking them up ,
cos when I was lacking in love, 
y'all were behind me, standing me up
on my on two feet, so I’ve done it for us. 
 
 CHORUS The same old thing happened to me just the other afternoon  i was walking home, saw a face that made me think of you.  my mother told me, that you was doing fine im not ever since, you said good bye.   Say GoodBye say good bye ever since you said good bye  Say GoodBye say good bye ever since you said good bye
