Allday
If Not Now, When?
[Intro]
Holding on to something
Overseas, all the vehicles
I never wanna go back
I'll never wanna be alone
I never wanna know this
So tell me it's all wrong

[Verse 1]
Yeah, my grandmother always said that "Much wants more"
That means no matter how much you got, you just want more
I got my first gold plaque, I was happy for a second
Then I started thinking of my next one
I guess the key is press on, the car was hot as Szechuan
Driving in a lemon like my name was Ayrton
At Double Dragon restaurant, a city somewhere else in time
I leave clues for those looking, they are there to find
But it's a world where the genuine are left behind
The cold-blooded ones, they know how to get their shine
A snake eats its tail, a baby enters as an elder leaves
Sail in ships and your tears made the seven seas
I spit the melodies and words that are sent to me
Teeth yellowy, mouth like a lemon tree
Just a soul on a trip but we didn't pack
Just a soul in a body that I'm giving back
[Chorus]
I say if not now, when?
Took you for granted back then
My grandma used to say
"Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you could do today"
Been away now for a month of Sundays
When I see you again, it's a party
Stuff a dragon head, hang it in the hallway
Never forget, we came a long way

[Verse 2]
Living on borrowed time, can I have an extension?
Then God sent me back down, that's astral rejection
I've seen drugs ruin everything, that's family convention
Yeah, I know I'm walking with an angel's protection
I told her, "I'm not Catholic, but I know my angels"
She said, "I'm not beautiful, but I know my angles"
These loves immortalised in all the songs I write
Thanks for the inspiration, even though it wasn't right
Over waves to Australia on a Qantas flight
I was on the wave of doubt that I often ride
Far from home, since I cut back, it's another zone
Y'all rappers need to cut back before your money's blown
Call the label on the money phone, ask 'em for another loan
And they hung up the phone
Did it without a cosign, but they steal my essence
My mortgage says 'Tom', I couldn't ring my parents
Hope your dreams come true, like there's a genie present
You won't know what you wished for until you get it
Fame's a hot seat, don't let your blood boil
I keep my heart in the fridge, don't let my heart spoil
I saw a flower grow up from the hard soil
These rappers tell you leave your girl 'cause they aren't loyal
And trade her pancake arse for a bubble butt
All the Xans and double cups, they got you muddled up
You'll end up alone, chasing another rush
Pussy and drugs, a double dragon that's hard to snuff
I stay with the ones who were there for me
I know there's crocs in the water like the Territory
I know there's good people 'round everywhere, surely
But sometimes it just feels like 'Where's Wally?'
I couldn't get it through my thick Irish head
That I deserve happiness, but last night I said
[Chorus]
I say if not now, when?
Took you for granted back then
My grandma used to say
"Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you could do today"
Been away now for a month of Sundays
When I see you again, it's a party
Stuff a dragon head, hang it in the hallway
Never forget, we came a long way
