Song Lyrics

Yeah, man, I guess I took the summer off (Why?)
Why? I was buzzing, didn't wanna stop
Flying seaplanes above the yacht
Threeways on the beach, smoke signs to the southern cross
These days, just another notch on the belt
Hell nah, leave the holidays for the others to
I toured so much the flight path's stuck on loop
A guy stopped me, asked what'd I been up to, dude
I've been everywhere man, where the f*ck were you?
Sucks to come off rude, well nah, it doesn't
'Cause it's fucking true, my luggage frayed, but ain't underused
The shit's legendary, and new tracks ready
Full of beats, rhymes and melodies, my peeps like, ""They better be dope""
I asked 'em last time to remember me
Shit, I hope they got a damn fine memory
It's time to come back, gotta pick it up, slack
For a minute or three, and the fans gonna scream

Where ya been? I haven't seen ya face in a minute
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
Man, where ya been? Checking for your new songs daily
The wait gets worse by the week
I wonder where ya been, I wonder where ya been
I Hear it all the time, man, like it was my theme
Man I'm back, you'd be crazy if you thought I'd leave
So relax, put your mind at ease, yo PEZ where you been?

Man, in Vietnam and Milan
Off to Amsterdam, then Japan, then to France
Every second day was on a plane on a holiday
Went around the world and saw a lot of shit along the way
Word? Nah, in truth I've just been in my house (Shit)
Spending most my time here, sitting round, chilling out
Stressing on the album, I just want to get it finished now
'Cause I been feeling like I'm missing out, shit
Been sick, but I don't need nobody's sympathy
'Cause my health helped me look at life a little differently
Instead of going out, partying like every day
I just gotta stay home and try to meditate
But it's all good, finally I'm on board
And now I'm in it for the long haul, yeah
I can't wait to stand with Illy up on stage
At a sold out show and hear the whole crowd go

Where ya been? Ain't seen your face in a minute
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
Man, where you been? Checking for your new songs daily
The wait gets worse by the week
I wonder where ya been, I wonder where ya been
Hear it every day, man, like it was my theme
Man I'm back, you'd be crazy if you thought I'd leave
So relax, put your mind at ease, Illy, where you been?

Man I've been on tour, wishing I was home (Sure)
Nah, if anything I'm living for the shows more
Looking back to '04, I was so poor
F*ck eating off rap, I couldn't buy my own fork
It's no sure thing, but we don't care
Always, hopeful it would lead somewhere, and now
Nearly every MC seems to be known
In three years, can't believe how the scene's grown
And rappers can afford to leave home
And teens got Aussie hip-hop on their ringtone
Even old folks are down with the lingo
It's a trip, I've been everywhere, everyone's loving this shit
Yeah, who'd of thunk it would be something this big?
Hopefully this is just the beginning (yeah, I hope so, P)
What can you say, man? It feels like a dream
If you don't know what we mean, then f*ck

Where ya been? I haven't seen ya face in a minute
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
Man, where ya been? Checking for your new songs daily
The wait gets worse by the week
I wonder where ya been, I wonder where ya been
I Hear it all the time, man, like it was my theme
Man I'm back, you'd be crazy if you thought I'd leave
So relax, put your mind at ease, where ya been?
