Anthem Lyrics
[00:32.51] Whatever happened to rappin from the backyard,
[00:34.44] Every time you see rap stars they're in fat cars
[00:36.63] But we're at the other end of the spectrum,
[00:38.51] So we disrespect 'em and kick 'em in the rectum,
[00:40.36] Get a vivisection at the hospital (Get ya kit off)
[00:43.36] And I bet thet're soft in the middle,
[00:45.75] Talk a lotta shit and it's just to fit a mould,
[00:48.41] Stepping to the mic and represent no soul,
[00:50.37] Butterfingers bring it to ya raw,
[00:53.22] Ugly as ya mother and hard to the core,
[00:55.29] Like nards under floorboards that's how I spit,
[00:57.93] With the hectic septic underground shit,
[01:00.22] Eclectically equipped epileptically I flip,
[01:02.57] Between genres, Butterfingers, Drop the bomb on ya's,
[01:05.00] Coming ominous like it was a monsoon,
[01:07.30] Banging like onomatopoeia goes Boom
[01:09.61] Butterfingers
[01:29.62] A lot of Hip hops a rip off but I'm a fucking chip off,
[01:31.32] The old block and don't tote a gold clock,
[01:33.70] And dunno how the fuck a mouth chocked full of diamonds,
[01:36.09] Helps with developing lyrics when ya rhyming,
[01:38.46] The conundrum is none of it relates,
[01:40.96] To me or to you or to any of your mates,
[01:43.24] And I bet at this rate heads are getting bored of it,
[01:45.91] Specially when the whole regiment's fraudulent,
[01:48.27] Corny ornaments don't mean a thing but,
[01:50.91] Dingalings get their bling bling written in wing dings,
[01:52.42] Thinking it's the in thing but you know it's only,
[01:54.84] A phoney persona for the one trick pony,
[01:57.24] If its factual rap is demographical,
[02:00.11] This is river city and the accent's natural,
[02:02.55] Forget collateral we're in it for the sport,
[02:04.88] And wanna thank the audience for all of their support,
[02:07.23] We step onto the court specifically to wreck it,
[02:09.86] Punk rock ethic but funky copasetic and,
[02:11.45] Poetically a headache to the critics and the censors,
[02:14.59] Go to hell and then tell em who sent ya's,
[02:16.82] Butterfingers
[02:36.97] Life is a prison, that's why I'm singing,
[02:37.97] To stop the domination of the bland,
[02:40.55] Air the dirty linen and give criticism,
[02:42.86] Besetting them with reprimand,
[02:45.00] With rhymes that I've written, fore times that we live in,
[02:47.77] Aren't you glad someone understands?
[02:49.73] It's the gift that keeps giving,
[02:51.70] Sit back and listen give
[02:53.47] Props to the motherfuckin band,
[02:55.05] Record executives rig the chart so,
[02:58.02] The current numbers ones can kiss my arse,
[02:59.50] When we get a turn it'll be by earning it,
[03:02.55] Because we represent the independant alternative,
[03:04.31] Can't be urban its just not black enough,
[03:07.27] Can't be contemporary, not wak enough
[03:09.71] Can't be rock cause we flip to hip hop,
[03:11.76] In our set (AH SHIT) where do we fit,
[03:14.58] Nowhere I guess and I'm proud of that actually,
[03:16.99] Blacklisted from every single category
[03:18.97] Except for independent which ya can't dispute,
[03:21.00] You think we signed away our rights that's kinda cute,
[03:23.23] But I recite the truth no matter how obnoxious,
[03:26.51] And we don't give a shit if we don't fit into ya boxes,
[03:28.41] They should slot us into urban Aussie folklore,
[03:30.68] When that'll be a category you know who to vote for.
