[Verse 1: Defekt]
From the start of this life you gave me the words
Placed me as first, taught me the ways of this earth
Ever since the state of my birth, you are the reason I’m still breathin’
You’re keeping me warm throughout the coldest seasons
Ever since I was eight, yo, we became mates
We laid a pleasure bond that none of us could break
We kept each other safe, and gave each othеr names
You came first and I followed in sеcond place
You put my rep to the sky, you’re the best in my life
If you were ever to die, boy, would I press on revive
You’re there with a mic, I couldn’t compare to your fights
But in your sights, I’m just another stereotype
It’s like you’re always with me and I never see you later
Now I’m greater, it’s major how you make me feel safer
I’m bringin’ back the flavour, you’re my saviour
Believe me, one day I’ll return the favour
[Chorus: Sever]
Every time I close my eyes it’s you that I’m missin’
Life without you is just not worth livin’
I hear the sound of a can shake, the rhythm B boys break
I’m lovin’ you lots, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
I’m lovin’ the snare, pressin’ raps to wax
The sight of graff stained trains ridin’ the tracks
Seepin’ through the cracks of the city, you’re with me
Like blood in my veins, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
[Verse 2: Complete]
You were there when I needed you, on these streets
I grew, with my crew, pissed, lookin’ for an easy route
Air Max sneakers, police tryna seize the brew
You in my ears, the only one that speaks the truth
Viewed as monsters, the only time we knew progress
Was at a bus stop with a goon bag and a few poskas
Who’d stop us? The dopest of songs
Put ‘em on repeat, while I’m smokin’ some bongs
Goin’ along, gettin’ big love
Asked mum to get me a two buck mic from big dub
And when you changed, went into a more complex era
I was there with you, like “Fuck yeah, let’s get better”
Every minute, thinkin’ of the next letter
Listenin’ as I bounce, with a ciggie in my mouth
It’s the music I like givin’ me prospects of my life
I’m still alive, chillin’ with a longneck and a mic
[Chorus: Sever]
Every time I close my eyes it’s you that I’m missin’
Life without you is just not worth livin’
I hear the sound of a can shake, the rhythm B boys break
I’m lovin’ you lots, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
I’m lovin’ the snare, pressin’ raps to wax
The sight of graff stained trains ridin’ the tracks
Seepin’ through the cracks of the city, you’re with me
Like blood in my veins, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
[Verse 3: Sever]
You’ve been there through the rough times, together, seen train lines
A line to J line, always on my mind
Sometimes when we climb, you’ve got my back, so I’m fine
Supplying me the best beat, makin’ sure I punch mine
A dope rhyme, when showtime, like Hunter, in Yokine
You’re with me at work, makin’ sure that I get by
In my house, I’ll get high, in court I’ll be right
‘Cause you’re there, by my side, with support that you supply
I remember [?] formin’ the art wall
Lyrical Commission said “I’m taggin’ it, fuck ya’ll”
Droppin’ a piece raw, never cease to [?]
Down to Vic park, spendin’ coins at the Monte store
Trains are painted, great pain, we made it
In Armadale I stated, spread the sound I created
I found this mic to say it, this colour don’t run
‘Cause hip-hop never faded, nah, it never faded
[Chorus: Sever]
Every time I close my eyes it’s you that I’m missin’
Life without you is just not worth livin’
I hear the sound of a can shake, the rhythm B boys break
I’m lovin’ you lots, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
I’m lovin’ the snare, pressin’ raps to wax
The sight of graff stained trains ridin’ the tracks
Seepin’ through the cracks of the city, you’re with me
Like blood in my veins, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
Every time I close my eyes it’s you that I’m missin’
Life without you is just not worth livin’
I hear the sound of a can shake, the rhythm B boys break
I’m lovin’ you lots, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
I’m lovin’ the snare, pressin’ raps to wax
The sight of graff stained trains ridin’ the tracks
Seepin’ through the cracks of the city, you’re with me
Like blood in my veins, I need you in my life, hip hop, hip hop
