[Verse 1: Requiem]
Step to stage Requiem vicious as I kick to breaks
So many bars duck or get stuck by the ricochet
Chargin', clashin', hyped up till in a state
Crushin' beats while Cam Bluff diggin' in the crate
The game's a competition and I'm here to win it mate
Seems the Northern Territory got me in a state
Chip on my shoulder on a mission to innovate
Don't wanna just do it, make sure I did it great
Building with new friends since I moved interstate
Next level step up, allow me to demonstrate
Spit fire, smokin' studio need to ventilate
Aim to educate, escalate as rhyme resonates
Elevate, like a troppo home kid believe me
In shorts and Polo, all year how you see me
Half the year steamy, the other half breezy
Rep the NT from Kulgera to the Tiwis
[Hook: Requiem, Kouf & Skank]
From the Centre to the Top End never one to rock trends
NT shapin' our style
From the desert to the tropics, red dirt to forests
Visit you'll be stayin' a while
[Verse 2: Kouf]
Take a trip in my headspace
I been stuck in there for like 10 days back in the 10th grade
A fresh face
See everywhere that I went, it was me and my lot
Rollin' out, turn the motor on, yeah you know I got
Scandalous rhymes on Vanderlin Drive
Straight ragdoll manhandling lines
See we about to set it off like we landed on landmines
You know we off the hook like dial tones in landlines
Children of the night burst in the mayhem
See Req best described it, early in the AM
And yep, you can blame it on the rain game playin'
Bet up north reppin' till a hearse that I lay in
Forever till I'm gone, forever in a song
Forever two feet on the ground that I'm on
But see, anyone can tag along
Don't mean to sound so damn territorial man
It's just where I'm from
[Hook: Requiem, Kouf & Skank]
From the Centre to the Top End never one to rock trends
NT shapin' our style
From the desert to the tropics, red dirt to forests
Visit you'll be stayin' a while
[Verse 3: Skank]
I'm getting back on the road again
Heading north and I'm gonna soak it in
Steppin' forth from the Centre settin' course reppin' for whatever
Home I'm in, when we rollin' in
Trust in me, Sietta James
You No Longer Hurt like seeing Sietta play
I can get a little cray like when we are getting rain
Always mobbin' with my dogs but I never let ‘em stray
I'm the Mick Dundee of rap in this country
That's not a rhyme, this is a rhyme
Catch us, in Dundee cracking this stubby
Fish on the line, brah this is the life
Shouts to the Ballards, for us they make Darwin
Feels so good like dim sims and Dave Garnham
This is where my heart is, my master plan
From the red sands I stand to up the path in Arnhem Land
[Hook: Requiem, Kouf & Skank]
From the Centre to the Top End never one to rock trends
NT shapin' our style
From the desert to the tropics, red dirt to forests
Visit you'll be stayin' a while
From the Centre to the Top End never one to rock trends
NT shapin' our style
From the desert to the tropics, red dirt to forests
Visit you'll be stayin' a while
