| 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 bigger 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 waiting '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 then
|
| 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
|
| As strong as your hands may be
|
| You cannot hold back what was meant to be
|
| Just as strong…
|
| Yeah
|
| This is a special, special dedication to my Elefant Traks fans
|

|
| All across the land (you can not hold back)
|
| Inner-west, outer-west, stay fresh (you can not hold back) |
