(I Just Wanna Play) Music

[Verse 1]
Yo it’s hard to doubt how i started out
Growing up living in a party house
Where big tunes where blasting out
Even long after my father was passing out
And i’d watch cats jam in the lounge room
While the cops yelled out ‘turn it down you’
That saw me drawn to the stage
And i’m talking since walking age
So i saved up for my first guitar
At eight years old washing dirty cars
Had a certain charm cause the bridge was bent
But i played that thing until my fingers bled
Then i really got hardcore when i bought that
Old school cassette tape four track
When other kids spent money on freddos
I chilled in the cut and rocked demos
And i stayed there locked away
Slaving over that box for days
Til it got to the stage it got me saying
Fuck it

[Chorus]
I just wanna play music

[Verse 2]
First time i ever heard 'fuck the police'
I got cd stuck it on repeat
Pumped it all week pretending i was ice cube
In the body of a ten year old white dude
Then i tried to get on some next shit
Scratching records on a belt drive technics
Thought my parents split cause i wrecked it
And quit music when they least expected
Sixteen years old passion cold
Wouldn’t even play with cash involved
That’s why i did a lot of shit jobs
Long before i made a living out of hip hop
Did a stint as a carpenters apprentice
Shit kicking in a yard full of deadshits
And with splinters in my arms so relentless
Love came back for the arts with a vengeance
Long days with fuck all pay
Cutting my thumbs on drop saw blades
Sucked but gave me the guts to say
Fuck it

[Chorus]
I just wanna play music

[Bridge]
With a gift so rare i just don’t care how i go about
Making a living as long as i’m driven to create and put things out
Cause it’s the dopeness of the whole process making it worth it’s while
So i write and play every night and spent on this earth and i smile

[Chorus]
I just wanna play music
