Done The Sums - Astronomy Class, Hau, Urthboy

As a kid I used to think of how I’d be in 2000

Like if I put the hours in would I be buying houses

How the hell I get away without an internet browser

Thought nothing of what we got at the bowser

Never thought hip-hop would be anything but on the outer

Like when even your supporters are doubters

Award winning but in it for love like Hau is

Nostalgia’s a shipwreck with booty to salvage now

School reunions prove we’re all human

Some at home a decade later and they’re not movin'

And I’ve travelled the world cause I liked to roam

Always back to Kingsford Smith because I like my home

On these microphones where we name and we document change

Friends with newborns no longer all that strange

Shit I’m still turning the page, walking the path

Messing round at the back of the class

«Keep On»

Man we all got expectations, nobody’s perfect

I’m trying to rock these final takes before I’m thirty

It’s been a decade of mics and loves pubs and gigs

At times I didn’t know right from wrong or what to think

My philosophy is live life to the colostomy bag

Or end your days misplaced like some apostrophes have

The write up in a street mag versus the right hand of a friend at the end

Now the bonds are tight, forgot to be fright and was the key to jumping off

With something so high it got your heart pumping

From bass bins thumping in the middle of Enmore Road

To Toe-fu strumming in the middle of Mexico

The whole time I had Rok to help me keep it eloquent

Trace Element to Dahltone to Bass Elefant

Man I got here cause a family of mates even if this joint drops in 2008

Dahaha

I done the sums and I done got stung

With each year one step up the rung

Swear I didn’t see you but here she comes

There’s no regrets that’s it its done

I done the sums and I done got stung

With each year one step up the rung

Swear I didn’t see you but here she comes

There’s no regrets there’s more to come

Time keeps on ticking so flicking through the photo album

I’m thinking to myself «how far has Hau come?»

Moved through mountains worked with outcomes both good and bad

Since the first day I laid my hands on a pen and a pad man

I’m sending you back down memory lane, Every pleasure, every pain

From slick outfits to clothes I’d where never again

Now I dress my daughter coincide with the sound

That coincides with the attitude that has newfound lease on life

Some boys have a girl they call a wife

Some even have kids 9 to 5 with a mortgage

Prioritising’s important where I’ll buy into when I can afford it

I’m on my way I’ve already caught it

So you know commitment’s in no shortage

Something I thought I’d have by now

But Hau’s still living his childhood he’s good at the moment

He’s only 30 years young dagonnit'

But when I’m ready to get that white picket fence I’m on it
