[Hook]
(Baby, from me)
Take it from me, take it from me
We gonna get there, baby (some day)
sh**, even if it drives me crazy (some day)
We take it straight to the top of the globe
And bring it back down under, yeah, right back home now
Take it from me
And they can hate if they think that it's worth it
But I ain't got the time to return it
This is how it go down my side of the town
Yo you get respect when you deserve it
[Verse 1: Illy]
Now there's a lot to be said for persistence
'Cos sh** only seemed distant in the distance
If I could rewind the hands of time
Wouldn't have picked that I had so many things ticked off my wish list
And it never occurred 'till I stopped, looked back
And for better or worse, preserved my thirst
Ain't always been in it, let alone finished first
But I give it every goddamn particle I'm worth
To the cause just to get through the door
You in it for the strong game, you won't hit the porch
And everywhere they pulled me in, Phaze gave support, Phizzle laced my more than any debut dropper came before
Now Pegz trust me to carry the torch
Who'da thought? but each coin you carry has a flip
Had my share of hard times and my hospital trips
But it is what it is, now I don't wanna brag
But other than the f**-sh** that happened with my back
If I had another chance, wouldn't change a f**ing fact
[Hook]
(Baby, from me)
Take it from me, take it from me
We gonna get there, baby (some day)
sh**, even if it drives me crazy (some day)
We take it straight to the top of the globe
And bring it back down under, yeah, right back home now
Take it from me
'cos all the struggles and dark nights
Make it that much sweeter in sunlight
It's only when you give up that your chances are cut
I mean, what's the speed profit of life?
[Verse 2: Illy]
Some don't understand, but it's hard to get them to relate
They're heading into work, but I'm heading interstate
And no complaints made about the money that I make
I can take the debt; fresh lines on the face
? love ? the day, fall in love by the evening
And the sun don't rise in the morning, I'm leaving (huh)
And leave them behind, my rhymes and achievements
To impress on the next crop, no shame in dreaming
Can't be sure when the last bus leaving, but
? my heart's beating
Only way forward's believe in yourself
Been told I couldn't a few times as well
Look how much mind I paid to that
If I gave a f**, I'd probably get change back
Wack sh**, i'm running late with that
Go ahead, hold breath, and suffocate waiting
And call me impatient, but f** fate
What's yours ? for the making
Take it from me
[Hook]
(Baby, [?] from me)
Take it from me, take it from me
We gonna get there, baby (some day)
sh**, even if it drives me crazy (some day)
We take it straight to the top of the globe
And bring it back down under, yeah, right back home now
Take it from me
And this world doesn't know you at all, man
What you make for yourself is in your hands
For ? in the globe there's a high, every day there's a night
Why not give the more than [<-- ?]
[M-Phazes]
It's a lot ? to give ?
You couldn't stop it if you wanted
You gotta get up, get out, and get something
It took a lot for me to get here
You couldn't stop it if you wanted
You gotta get up, get out, and get something
[Verse 3: Illy]
You gotta persist with your vision
Push it to the limit, 'cos a life without risk ain't worth living
Roll the dice, any chance i'm given
Head in the cloud, feet on the ground, ain't missing a goddamn thing
And ain't wishing for a goddamn thing
Exactly how my old man thinks
I respectfully decline, the trajectory expected to apply
I don't accept it, I deny, wave goodbye
They could jet through the sky, but I shoot for the stars
And though ti's pear-shaped, I can say by and large, "f** it"
I did it my way; every cheque? by following my heart
And what they say, I can't, couldn't? Open wide, say, "ah", put your foot in
No guessing, no regrets. If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense
Nah, mate, I'm about the time spent I won't get again
Take it from me
[Bridge]
(Baby it [?] from me)
(Some day)
(Some day)
