Never Be

Lyrics

[Intro: Illy] Things people tell him Yeah Never be as nice as Yeah! Yeah [Commentary: Severe] Yo, what's good? This is DJ Severe, Mister Major Flavours [?] hip-hop in the house Whenever I'm in Melbourne, I'ma get pissed with my man Ill Al None iller Illy, give it to 'em [Chorus: Samples] "Never be as nice" "Never be as nice" "Never be as nice" "Get it-get it-get it poppin'" "Never be as nice" [Verse 1: Illy] Writin' my rhymes, wasn't a writer on the lines Payin' homage to the past like a lighter in the sky I represent the next like a spider to the fly Lay it out like a map, cross lines just to rap But nah, you won't find any knives in my dacks But I still do fine with the spine in my back Hip-hop's shaped my livin', this mixtape marks my arrival Finish to the start, one eyeful O' what's to come, twenty-one years young Imagine the flow once I've run through a cycle I'm movin' fast since I rose up the rank And found some new targets, broke all ranks Found home with new partners, this just for starters Two albums o' tracks got stashed in the garbage So I've been around for a minute now, ain't tryin' to preach Just givin' some real shit to think about [Chorus: Samples] "This how we do" "I'm-i'm-i'm on my grind" "Never be as nice" "One, two, get ready" "Never be as nice" "This is how we do" "Never be as nice" "In the game, playin' for keeps" "Get it-get it-get it poppin'" "Never be as nice" [Verse 2: Illy] When drama reared it's head, I kept in step to the beat And kept my perspective checked So until I'm dead, I'm livin' for the weekends I won't remember with friends I'll never forget Pissin' on with the lads combined with stagin' the lab Refinin' my gift of gab You'll never be as nice as us with pens and pads It's Illyal, throw it to "Fla-Fla-Flago" [Chorus: Samples] "This how we do" "I'm-i'm-i'm on my grind" "Never be as nice" "One, two, get ready" "Never be as nice" "This is how we do" "Never be as nice" "In the game, playin' for keeps" "Get it-get it-get it poppin'" "Never be as nice" [Commentary: Phrase] Yeah what's up? This big Phrase You're listenin' to the Ill Al mixtape I wanna shoutout all the writers 'round Australia still doin' their thing, gettin' up What's up to [?] crew, L4 Shem, RDC, XD Boys Every other writer in the country still burnin' shit RIP to [?], let's go, Illy, tell 'em where you from, uh
