Make You Proud

(álbum: King Amongst Many - 2013)

Sometimes things go unsaid that shouldn't
Not any longer
Check this out
Yo, yo

Been a few weeks since we spoke last
Lately the time seems to fly so fast in a hurry
It's hard to keep it intact, but I don't worry
What we have is much deeper than that
And you should know I'm so proud of you for every thing that you've
Already achieved and what you're 'bout to do
See you put yourself down but you're powerful, honest
The world ain't ready for the mark that you'll make on it
A true charmer, with a huge heart of gold
You deserve nothing but good karma
I know sometimes life's dealt you some tough cards
But you've always done your best like the queen that you are, you are
The rarest thing in life, a true friend
Through thick and thin you can always depend
I'm grateful for every second that we get to spend together
You're somebody that I'll never forget, yes, yes

And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
Said, I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down

Do you recall the days of baseball cards?
I cast my mind back, looking at that
Photo on your wall of two little boys
Who used to play with toys and dream of being tall
But we ain't kids no more, we deep in this thing
And I wanna thank you for being there through it all
'Cause you protected me, showed respect to me
Want you to know what that meant to me
I see the fire in your eye when you step on stage
And it gives me this feeling, something I can't explain
Like ya CDs lying around for me to discover
Where I first learnt my love for the sound, big brother
And wow big brother, look at us now
Chilling out in the 'dam puffing clouds, big brother
So in your times of doubt, when life stresses you out
Or things getting you down, remember you make me proud

And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
Said, I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down

Now I gotta say peace and respect 'cause these days some of my
Best friends are people I've never met
They come and represent live at the set
I'm in their ears right now, got 'em nodding their heads
At the start I didn't do this for anyone but myself
Never even crossed my mind we'd have a CD on the shelf
It was a time when I needed some help
So I wrote it all down to make sense of what I felt
Now well, what do you know, we out on the road
Rocking shows, politicking with the local town folk
A patchwork of rap nerds, metal kids in black shirts
Bank clerks who heard tracks and know what it's worth
And while I would never claim to speak on their behalf
They all got love for the kid, 'cause I spit it from the heart
So to you I dedicate these bars
'Cause you make me wanna play my part, and I never wanna
Ever wanna...

And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
And I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down now
Said, I don't wanna let you down
I don't wanna let you down

And to my main man, Adit. Here we are, bro. Another one in the bag. Big up. To my family: mum, dad, Alex, I love you all. And to the One Day team: Double S, Jackie O, Joyride. And of course, Elefant Traks! Urthy, Richie, Dale, all my Elefants. To those I hold dear, my Inner West people, you know who you are. To all our fans worldwide: thank you. It's been a long time coming. Hope we make you proud
