[Intro]
And it’s been a long year
But we’re still here, goin’ strong
So I’m gonna wrap this up
Yeah
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Good mornin’, Australia, I-double-L-Y back again
Play like a highlight, fly like a
M, plain and simple, still slay them instrumentals
With either ink or pencil
But wait, this ain’t to rant, it’s to recap
Over a year where plans got scrapped, uh
Kissed my grass in Big Day Out
Started oh-seven with crowds
BnE support act, I swore that I tore that down
Put the mixtape out, thought my time was now
However, damn burnt spanner in the works
Injured spinal cord caused damage to my nerves
Worse, I ain’t have one hot nurse
I scored a GameCube and a kids’ menu
So the wheelchair sucked but the food weren’t bad
And mates came through with doobs
Brinks brought Pro Evo, although I didn’t know when I’d walk
Or even if I would, I didn’t get caught
Up in that, I went from wheelchair to walkin’ frame to limp dude
All year, I’ve improved
And been through so much, couldn’t walk for months
Ended up nothin’ I couldn’t overcome
And shucks, I still stand on my own two
It just means that I don’t run, nope
[Chorus]
Ay! We went hard this year
Can’t say it ain’t been hard this year but
We’re lookin’ past this year
So it’s on the next one, all clear, let’s go, c’mon
Ay! We did it hard this year
I can’t say it ain’t been hard this year but, but
I’m lookin’ past this year
So it’s on the next one, all clear, let’s go

[Ad-libs]
Yup

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes, draw heavy on the smoke
Time flies, it’s my eighth year rhymin’ in my notes
No lies, I risked everything embedded on the flow
So flow lies in a category on my own
But nah, no brags, I struggled for my art a lot
Been a long road just to reach the startin’ block
Now I’m in the race, keepin’ pace
And kids across Oz got my songs on their desktop interface
Wish I could shake every hand that I’ve seen
Raise fans that’ve been there, can’t say what it means, mate
Let me try in my hospital hell
When I felt like offin’ myself, it was you, not profits that helped
So let ‘em chat what they wanna chat
Tell ‘em I’ll be right here if they wanna act
‘Til then, it’s just me and my friends
My fam, my city, my pad, my pen
[Chorus]
Ay! We went hard this year
Can’t say it ain’t been hard this year but
We’re lookin’ past this year
So it’s on the next one, all clear, let’s go, c’mon
Ay! We did it hard this year
I can’t say it ain’t been hard this year but, but
I’m lookin’ past this year
So it’s on the next one, all clear, let’s go
