Yo Pete kicks it like this
All feeble MCs can suck my dick
But enough of that
You heard a South Shepp rapper get reflective on a track now?
Lets take it back to St Mels Primary
Coppin' it from Mrs Mega-blaster in the library
And Mr Wans, he was straight runnin shit
That Dutch motherfucker put fear in kids
In grade 1 I met my friend Devinder
Him and his man Jadgit came over from India
'Vinder joined my class with Miss Boschetti
I remember him and Juggy cried at thier first assembly
Now I was best friends with Pieter Van Taarling
The big school bully always gettin' me in trouble
My friends in school, they were outcasts
Always playin' up, gettin' kicked out of class
But I hung with the cool kids after hours
So my friendships spread like wild flowers
Down with everyone cos I was nice like that
I loved happy pants and my Chicago Bulls hat
Nike and Starter were my favourite brands
Michael Jackson, Guns & Roses were my favourite bands
My best friend was Chris Leonard from Burwood Ave
Oh man the good times we had
Lookin' forwards lookin' back, we've come a long way down the track
We got a long way left to go, lookin' forwards lookin' back
My old school BMX days were old from the jet
'Cause my Mum wouldn't buy me a flashy BMX
Got my next door neighbours old Repco
With Diamond Back stickers, fake from the get-go
But I was rockin mad Skyway Tuffs
They were old school since before we were growin' up
Later on I got into skating
That's skateboards, not fruit boot rollerblading
Now high school was the time to be alive
Male teens just dream of sex day and night
Yeah, and Notre Dame boasts tons of hot chicks
I'd rather forget Ben Price doin' cock tricks
Started a band with my two best buds
A Waste Of Space, NO REFUNDS
You don't get far with a punk rock attitude
And gig organisers always mad at you
Had some psycho girlfriends, or so the song said
Now I've ended up with the best one in the end
I got through school by the skin of my arse
And then Year 12 seemed a little extra hard
When Jason Egan died crashing his car
And Josh MacGibbon drove into that truck
And who could have known that in 5 years time
My mate Millsy would take his own life, nah
Lookin' forwards lookin' back, we've come a long way down the track
We got a long way left to go, lookin' forwards lookin' back
Since I turned 18, I lived at the pub
The Sherbourne, Full House or Yahoobar
Mum hassled me to go look for jobs all day
So I just went to Dowdy's and hung with my mates
Fingered a few chicks in the Yahoo toilets
That's when my cock-blockin' mates didn't spoil it
Now these were the days when I still rode my bike
Me and Pugzly Pain repped hard for Southside
At Briggs's we recorded raps on tapes
Dr. Dre produced most the tracks that we laced
Music to us has always been fun
Mizta Meana, On Tap, 2001
Lookin' forwards lookin' back, we've come a long way down the track
We got a long way left to go, lookin' forwards lookin' back
