Same Number, Same Hood

(album: The Chase - 2010)

All city journeyman, rolling highways, dirt roads
And everything in between, just another version of home
Melbournian show stealer, feel I'm worthy but know
It don't always work according to plan, gotta learn as you go
And I've found life's a game of inches, I'm still playing gaining digits
Making calls, so if I fail, never blame it on indifference
Since when train missions to obese were every teenage listeners right of passage
Discern banging boombap there and back
I remember wagging to visit
So imagine me when the chance was given, to weave my own story into 4A Izzett's
Couldn't wake me up with pinches
If the launch opened the door, then the block party blew it off the hinges
Fast forward a year, and its my second LP
But I'm victorian baby, already coming after 3
Don't worry bout me, I'm straight rep my city by the bay
Spread love, all day, every day
And all I know is that I love our music, I rep my town
We stand too strong here to ever step down
Now they all hooked, I never change, let em know that its all good
Same number, same hood
And all I know is that I love our music, I rep my town
We stand too strong here to ever step down
Now they all hooked, I never change, let em know that its all good
Same number, same hood
I'm paying forward all the chances that the Melbourne scene gave me
Represent for them, even if it ain't appreciated
To the kids with a dream writing rhymes to make a statement
This is where hard work, and a lot of heart can take it
In fact I've barely began, with steady hands Ima plan
And craft mine for the fam, and the friends, and the fans
But they don't need me to tell em, they already planted the flag
For hiphop, on burnt copies of American bands
I'm in the bayside sunshine, reaping for the frankston line
And thats where Ima be residing when they call time
This culture of kings kept me honest
When I had a dream, a ballpoint pen, and nothing in my wallet
Swore if I got a hold of what I wanted, id be bringing it home
And Ima work fingers to bone to keep the promise
This is one love for the kids still struggling
Melbourne city, bar none, but nothing
And all I know is that I love our music, I rep my town
We stand too strong here to ever step down
Now they all hooked, I never change, let em know that its all good
Same number, same hood
And all I know is that I love our music, I rep my town
We stand too strong here to ever step down
Now they all hooked, I never change, let em know that its all good
Same number, same hood
