Down by the River

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bliss] I'm in the back of a ute and I'm freshly serving BnE brew I got a esky bursting From doing loops and a rexy burning To the babble of this beat started jet ski surfing I keep, keep it, I keep, I keep on it Dig beats deep as a creek and speak sonic The waves I'm making capsize canoes You can bathe in the wake to baptize your crew When I'm down by the river, banging from Sydney Hand on my outboard, fanging my dinghy Streams run free, all over the globe Still water runs deep, so go with this flow As long as the Amazon, as deep as the Congo The heart of the party, the beats on the bongo A bonfire is the inner camp visual Werewolves howl at the river bank ritual [Hook 1] Down by the river, I learnt how to swim Where the records play and wash away all the stress that's been It fuelled my fire higher It took me higher, higher Up and up and up, let's go Come on, come on, come on, let go [Verse 2: Eso] Yeah, funhouse is open And now the sundowns approaching The boatshed is where I live it up all day And magic mushrooms litter the walkway To a gumtree swing for the hot sun Where we fish off the dock with a shotgun And a BMX track out the back not giving a shit with a pig on the spit And you can bet your bottom dollar, there's a bong or two We got the backyard looking like Taronga zoo With a fluro skyline, bats in the distance Fact, you won't catch Max doing dishes We got an AK, shooting clay pigeons And Izm on the decks banging Gravediggaz And if the cops come and stop the beat That's when I let a pack of Ridgebacks off the leash [Hook 2] Down by the river, I learnt how to swim Where the records play and wash away all the stress that's been It fueled my fire higher It took me higher, higher Up and up and up, let's go Come on, come on, come on, let go It fueled my fire higher It took me higher higher Up and up and up, let's go Come on, come on, come on, let go [Verse 3: Bliss & Eso] It's the time on the clock when the train goes So I glide off the pot on a rainbow See my sight at the top of the range rose And I'm right on the dot when I aim, bro I just ride down the block wearing plain clothes With the eye of a croc-killing cane toad When I'm live in the spot of the main grove I love to here the whole crowd say "AYO" And not a second of silence BnE worldwide repping the island It's so much when they're bopping and they're vibing So go nuts like a rocket in a silo Drunk in a dinghy, actin' like pirates The boat that rocked once Macca got violent Bad to the bone on a Hanzo classic While kids backflip on a jumbo mattress So bounce, and let your hair down Up the body count and let off spare rounds And don't hurt no one, and don't touch my perso punk So, take it from me, I stay on the top when they're shaking the tree Yeah, and in a matter of minutes no matter the limit I rap and I rip it so you know Big Macca done did it [Hook 1] Down by the river, I learnt how to swim Where the records play and wash away all the stress that's been It fueled my fire higher It took me higher, higher Up and up and up, let's go Come on, come on, come on, let go
