Lyrics Where Ya Been - Illy, PEZ

Where Ya Been

Ma, I guess I took the summer
Why?
I was buzzing, didn’t wanna stop
Flying seaplanes above the yacht
3 ways, on the beach, smoke signs to the southern cross
These day’s just another notch on the belt
Hell nah, leave the holidays for the others to
I toured so much the flight path’s stuck on loop
A guy stopped me, asked what’d I been upto, dude
I’ve been everywhere man, where the fuck were you?
Sucks to come off rude, well nah it doesn’t
Cause it’s fucking true, my luggage frayed, but ain’t underused
The shit’s legendary, and new tracks ready
Full of beats, rhymes and melodies, my peeps like they better be dope
I asked 'em last time to remember me
Shit, I hope they got a damn fine memory
It’s time to come back, gotta pick it up, slack
For a minute or three, and the fans gonna scream «where ya been»
Where ya been, haven’t seen ya face in a minute
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
Man, where ya been, checking for your new songs daily
The wait gets worse by the week
I wondered where ya been, I wondered where ya been
Hear it all the time man
Like it was my theme
Man I’m back, you’d be crazy if you thought I’d leave
So relax, put your mind at ease, yo Pez where ya been
Man, in Vietnam and Milan
Off to Amsterdam, then Japan, then to France
Every second day was on a plane on a holiday
Went around the world and saw alot of shit along the way
«word?"nah, in truth I’ve just been in my house
Spending most my time here, sitting round, chilling out
Stressing on the album, I just want to get it finished now
Cause I been feeling like I’m missing out, shit
Been sick, but I don’t need nobody’s sympathy
Cause my health helped me look at life a little differently
Instead of going out, partying like every day
I just gotta stay home and try to meditate
But it’s all good, finally I’m on board
And now I’m in it for the long haul, yeah
I can’t wait to stand with Illy up on stage
At a sold out show and hear the whole crowd go «where ya been»
Where ya been, haven’t seen ya face in a minute
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
Man, where ya been, checking for your new songs daily
The wait gets worse by the week
I wondered where ya been, I wondered where ya been
Hear it all the time man
Like it was my theme
Man I’m back, you’d be crazy if you thought I’d leave
So relax, put your mind at ease, yo Illy where ya been
Man I been on tour, wishing I was home «sure»
Nah, if anything I’m living for the shows more
Looking back to 04, I was so poor
Fuck eating off rap, I couldn’t buy my own fork
It’s no sure thing, but we don’t care
Always, hopeful, it would lead somewhere, and now
Nearly every mc seems to be known
In 3 years, can’t believe how the scene’s grown
When rappers can afford to leave home
And teens got aussie hip-hop on their ringtone
Even old folks are down with the lingo
It’s a trip, I been everywhere everyone’s loving this shit
Who’d of thought it would be something this big
Hopefully this is just the beginning «yeah, I hope so P»
What can you say man, it feels like a dream
If you don’t know what we mean, then fuck, where ya been?
Where ya been, haven’t seen ya face in a minute
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
Man, where ya been, checking for your new songs daily
The wait gets worse by the week
I wondered where ya been, I wondered where ya been
Hear it all the time man
Like it was my theme
Man I’m back, you’d be crazy if you thought I’d leave
So relax, put your mind at ease, where ya been
