Illy
Before I Leave
[Verse 1: Drapht]
Define me like a lion defines the whole jungle
Definition of street and humble
Like Bruce Lee in Rumble in the Bronx summoned to the top
Like we just stumbled across Rapunzel's locks, ah
Whatever Barney Gumble gots I want it
Plutonic blaze, hitting harder than bubonic plague
A convict, confiscate
Record to take the weight off like Fonda's tapes (yo)
Everyone's like Charlie Chaplin
And Tom Cruise is actin' like Michael Jackson
It's crazy, maybe the global warming
Or maybe, just the famous are fallin'
Call me Pauly Polter, roll in a six
White like a polar bear stare a solar eclipse
Kick the goal like kids switch kick flippin' the rock and roll
On top of the bowl, that's control

[Chorus: Pegz, Patto, Illy & "Evidence"]
It's Obese here to leave impressions
Beathedz bring the heat relentless
Crooked eye 'bout to speak the essence
"I came too far not to be respected"

[Verse 2: Illy]
Before I leave, I'm settin' benchmarks each release
Rock, debut drop retiree
And every disc between and I'ma be seen
With at least one Veronica, sittin' on a beach
Sippin' something sweet, somewhere in the tropics
Fat wallet in my deep pockets
For now I got no cash, no smash hit
Just dash and tip the next shit, no slash, no asterix
When the champagne bottles pop, victory cigars lit
I'll leave my classics and an arse to kiss
You believe the cheek of this kid?
Believing nobody out equal this except a few at the top
Before he hit the door, I thought I'd drop a send off fit for a boss
I'm on a track with Pegz, so that's one less task left
On my list to address before I leave
[Chorus: Pegz, Patto, Illy & "Evidence"]
It's Obese here to leave impressions
Beathedz bring the heat relentless
Crooked eye 'bout to speak the essence
"I came too far not to be respected"

[Verse 3: Patto]
Before I leave, I want a house with no lease
And bed down with a fatter mamma than Obese
Drunk in the streets, running a muck
Junk hanging out the front like a Peking duck
Pump mad weights, get large as hell
So I can hang around with pussy like Gargamel
From getting blow once a year like a birthday candle
To getting more chicks than Heffner can handle
Moved from Coburg to Coburg North
From a bedroom flat, to a house with a porch
Get mad rich, make a smash hit song
And be the first in the charts that won't feature Akon
Go triple plat with the best rap tune
Collect my award in an Adidas bapsuit
If it's all bad and my plan turns shitty
At least they can say that he rocked burn city

[Chorus: Pegz, Patto, Illy & "Evidence"]
It's Obese here to leave impressions
Beathedz bring the heat relentless
Crooked eye 'bout to speak the essence
"I came too far not to be respected"
[Verse 4: Pegz]
Yeah
I thought I knew the difference, between the music business
And gay rappers break dancin' on Euro Vision
But who will listen to somebody with a shoe addiction?
Livin' with their mums, talking about their crew is pimpin'
Spinal tap with laptops and final scratch
This is for my real DJs, bringin' the vinyl back
On a diamond back, with a biker's patch
Twenty inch biceps, covered in tribal tats
Chasin' hits like a junkie ho
One dole day, walkin' down Studley Road
Got a beautiful mind and a heart of gold
But you don't want to push me 'round like Russell Crowe
Not a role model, God father, that's not me
If I touch a few souls, that's extraordinary
But all I want is respect, before I leave
Paying homage to the New York streets, come on

[Chorus: Pegz, Patto, Illy & "Evidence"]
It's Obese here to leave impressions
Beathedz bring the heat relentless
Crooked eye 'bout to speak the essence
"I came too far not to be respected"
