Amazing
Spit Syndicate Lyrics

So what’s going on in that head of yours?
I want to know what's on your mind.

Nick, you’ve been gone
Nick, you've been absent.

Lost in the space between dusk and mid dawn
You've been lost in the time between sunset and twilight.

In and out of the loop
You've been coming in and out of social circles.

Connected but withdrawn
You are socially connected but emotionally distant.

Living in syd with the law that I’ve been taught
I'm living in Sydney following the rules I've been taught.

The straws, they’ve been drawn, the shortest of all
We've reached a limit, and it's the shortest one possible.

The long arm of the law
The legal system's far-reaching power over us.

My fire, my prints on
I'm passionate and leaving my mark on the world.

Lint in my pocket getting my stint on
I'm getting ready for my performance with the small things I have.

Another cigarette I should be pulling the rig on
I should be focusing on my music instead of smoking.

Philosophize while we chop up smoke
We're discussing deep topics while smoking weed.

Then we blow it to the skies, baby lock and load
We exhale the smoke to the sky and feel in control.

Now that’s a sure sign that we’re on the ropes
That's a sign of our struggles and near defeat.

When you got the occupiers yelling stop the boats
When refugees are being persecuted and prevented from seeking asylum.

I’m from a place where they persecute the neediest
I come from a place where the vulnerable are oppressed.

Talking about equality won’t tax the greediest
We can speak about equality all we want, but it won't impact the wealthiest individuals.

Ain’t gotta ask what I think of those leading us
My thoughts on the leaders are apparent and don't need to be asked.

But your small minded mother fuckers like Oedipus
You have a narrow perspective like Oedipus, the tragic Greek figure.

We off the chain, the charts, we off everything
We have no restrictions or limitations, and we're taking over everything.

Money over bullshit, crew on top of anything
We prioritize money and our group over anything else.

Rocking for the folks up north who lost everything
We're performing for the people affected by natural disasters in the north who have lost everything.

All the kids down the drains like lost wedding rings
The young people are being neglected and forgotten like lost wedding rings.

But I can only tell you what I know
I can only share what I've experienced and learned.

That’s clinging to a dream, never ever letting go
Holding onto your aspirations, never giving up on them.

Trying to book shows, only ever getting no
Attempting to schedule performances, but always being denied.

Getting twenty grand loans just to get out on the road
Taking out large loans just to tour and perform.

I had two jobs, never stopped hustling
I worked two jobs and never stopped grinding.

Every cent went to rent, all the while studying
All my earnings went towards my rent, while also continuing my education.

Trying to write an album, maybe get a couple of spins
Attempting to produce an album and potentially receive radio play.

Through pussy in the mix, that’s juggling
Adding feminine attention to everything else I have going on is difficult to handle.

But never did I look like I was buckling
I never appeared to be struggling, even when it was tough.

Nor would I call how we were living as struggling
I wouldn't call our lifestyle struggling, although it was challenging.

But you won’t get nothing out without nothing in
You won't achieve anything without putting effort in.

That’s where my head is at, if you’re still wondering
That's what's on my mind, in case you're still curious.

Everywhere that I go, nothing feels the same
Everywhere I go, things don't feel familiar.

They say that I got nothing to show
People say I haven't accomplished anything significant.

But, they ain’t been on a stage
But they haven't experienced the thrill of performing on stage.

Man, this shit is amazing
This experience is unbelievable and remarkable.

With the light show and that look on your face makes it all alright
The impressive light show combined with the audience's expressions make it all worth it.

Would you keep that camera rolling for me?
Can you please keep recording me?

See me in all my glory
Capture my full greatness on camera.

I’m revel that most skin
I'm confident and unafraid to show my true self.

Then spit me a story
Then tell me a compelling tale.

Start finalize the shorty
Begin editing the video you've recorded.

Was never much of a gamer
I was never really interested in playing video games.

To busy throwing game at the daughters of all my neighbors
I was too busy flirting with all my neighbor's daughters.

Grew up an only child, and I
I grew up as the only child in my family.

Only had me to hold me down
I only had myself to rely on for support.

Never followed the crowd, look at me now
I never conformed to what everyone else was doing, and now I'm successful.

From sending texts with the address of where the party is
From sending messages with party locations.

To dropping X with execs at the Arias
Now I'm taking drugs with executives at the ARIA Awards.

And all the cats carrying my words on their precious skin
And all the fans tattooing my lyrics on their bodies in admiration.

See, I can only show you what I seen
I can only share what I've personally witnessed.

Two swirl letters, a pyramid in between
A graphic with two swirled letters and a pyramid in the center.

She said she fuck with your team
She said she supports your group.

Well, show me what you mean
Prove your support to me.

I got your logo on my sleeve, and I’m only seventeen
I have your symbol tattooed on my arm, and I'm just seventeen years old.

Damn, does your mommy and daddy know that?
Wow, do your parents know you have a permanent tattoo at such a young age?

The type of shit will keep me going, though I’m never going back
This kind of support and dedication from fans motivates me to keep going.

To disrespecting my mother and living out of a bag
To the days where I was living poorly and disrespecting my mother.

Black room and a hand full of dudes who don’t clap
Performing in a dark room to an unenthusiastic audience.

Now we pack stands and fans who over react
We now have large audiences who are excited and express their enthusiasm.

Just to see the underdogs all so no now, man
To see the underdogs succeed, it's unbelievable.
