Letra de 'On The Bus' de Illy

Man, i was on the bus discman in my hand banging biggie, with a bottle of
Passion pop in the backpack ciggies in the pocket
Penning raps thinking damn when im big enough to rock it
Ima rock it till wheels fall of it, yup

High school finished, every night, we were getting blazed
One by one rocking p-plates, cruising to the j's
At the time never crossed our mind that those were the days
Weekday benders man, weekends were the same
Found freedom on the road, found money in the sofa
Wasn't much, so a 6-pack'd wanna tide me over
Probably get a slab sorted if we pooled it all together
Still be on the beach at midnight depending on the weather
As much time as forever, the shared times brought us together
The same times make the ties hard to sever
And i honestly couldn't ask for better
Memories except for parts that i cant remember, fuck it
20 going on 20 , forever young at heart
Didn't matter, whether parks, or the studio or bars
Man i was right there, look again here we are
Seems like i blink once and a lifetime past, and now
Old mates turning new leaves
Killing it from worksites to corporate life, im living a movie
Like 8 mile, nah billy madison of uni
With exams in a few weeks, id settle with a few c's
But thats the life i chose
Opted for the scenic road left the highway alone
I guess im learning as i go, these the ropes
Feeling right at home with being the oldest kid i know

I'm tripping like that was just the other day
Couldn't be that long ago shit its no way
Wonder what my younger self would look at me and say
Yea you doing alright, but im happy on the bus
Never really notice till the whole scene changed
Everybody tied down i just wanna fly away
Theres no need to wonder what the younger me would say
You can keep your obligations, im happy on the bus

Pretty girls, god bless em, no question
Kept em close, letter passing in class, if i slept through lessons
We'd share notes, never good with the parents
The bloodshot eyes don't make for good first impressions
Don't wanna think of the prepaid credit i spent
On text messages im amazed by the lengths that i went to impress em
Rarely committed, never fully in it when i was
Barely listened when they'd call to call it off
Was already onto the next, broke a couple hearts
And regret to this day, but i guess thats the way
That it goes, and go it did man, round and back
Till that one came along that made my heart collapse
It's bittersweet when you catch it, like sunshine in winter, shit i
Thought i was killing with a futon and dimmer switch!
But thats how it was, noone knew different
Fun loving sinners just young dumb and innocent, now
My mates putting wedding rings on their girls fingers
Down for the count, babies in the world with em
While im still up at 8 pushing through a whirlwind of
Strong mixes, scar tissue, cheap rack, fast women
And its a ride i don't want to get off
But i don't wanna be the last to leave when it all stops
Shit, i guess change is fact of life
Have a tough time trying to balance my age and what im acting like

Im tripping like that was just the other day
Couldn't be that long ago shit its no way
Wonder what my younger self would look at me and say
You doing alright, but im happy on the bus
Never really notice till the whole scene changed
Everybody tying down i just wanna fly away
And theres no need to wonder what the younger me would say
You can keep your obligations, im happy on the bus

Everybody getting serious, and i don't think im ready yet
Not sure if il ever be, wouldn't put a heavy bet
On it, wouldn't promise anybody that i care about
That im prepared to cut my hair or wash my mouth out
Shit i don't use alarm clocks
Cant cook, cant clean, cant read stocks, cant keep watch
Of my health, and my finances are a mess
But i still feel happy as it gets, and if im honest
It all good, i got high hopes for the future
Id be long gone if i hit it like we used to
Been over clubbing, not really missing much
In that regard, guess its just getting older sucks
Its a tough pill to swallow but no kicking up a fuss
But i guess its kinda dope how full circle shit comes
Cause, these new adventures keep me interested as fuck
And its some other kids turn to bang biggie on the bus
So thanks for the memories, i hate to say goodbye
But all good things come to an end, well meet again
Somewhere in the next life, fingers crossed next ride
Il be able to savour it before its in hindsight
And thats word to the kids, in a sprint to be grownups
My only advice would be live for the moment
You got a whole life to get it right
For now its life after death or ready to die, you decide

I'm tripping like that was just the other day
Couldn't be that long ago shit its no way
Wonder what my younger self would look at me and say
You doing alright, but im happy on the bus
Never really notice till the whole scene changed
Everybody tying down i just wanna fly away
And theres no need to wonder what the younger me would say
You can keep your obligations, im happy on the bus
