Accents (Keep ’Em Aussie)

Lyrics

[Intro] I love Australia How 'bout you (How 'bout you?) I love being Australian Don't act like you know me [Chorus: Matty B] The MC with presents never resents the consequences He presents the lyrics with no pretentious accents (No pretentious accents) Yeah The MC with presents never resents the consequences He presents the lyrics with no prеtentious accents (No pretеntious accents) Here we go [Verse 1: Matty B] If you're Australian, speak out with no false pretense No two-mindedness, no need to sit on the fence (Fence, nah) You're sounding like someone who's not even worth ten cents It's pure Australian styles in every sentence Never sounded American, only for linguistic repent (Ah ah) 'Cause my style's a spool true blue totally relentless Leaving pretentious MC's defenseless 'Cause I had no knowledge of self If you're Australian, you know that type of knowledge is wealth Being true to yourself is no huge task It's no big ask Being told to remove your fake mask You've hidden behind all of your life You grab the mic and step to me, you're in a whole lot of strife Kept in reality You just became a battle fatality With your half-American split personality Split personality [Chorus: Matty B] The MC with presents never resents the consequences He presents the lyrics with no pretentious accents No pretentious accents (No way, want to tell 'em, mate?) Yeah The MC with presents never resents the consequences He presents the lyrics with no pretentious accents No pretentious accents (Sound [?] recording) [Verse 2: Matty B] To you American MC's: I'm not tryna put you down I just don't understand Aussies tryna copy ya sound It's not all young Australians ignoring they heritage Grabbing the mic and sounding like they were American I'm not respecting 'em And any Aussie with a fake accent, I'll be rejecting 'em (Get out of here) They should not let other cultures be affecting 'em The new Aussie sound will be the best in this millenium (Number one) Yeah, the new Australia's hip hop nation Causing a whole world to stand back in amazement So much talent spilling out of Oz, it's like water displacement 'Cause the dream, we're chasing it And our true accents, we'll never be replacing it Never [Interlude: (Hunter?), Matty B] Aye man, Matty, you know what to say, do You know exactly what you're talking about, y'know? Well, yourself, man It's not that hard [Chorus: Matty B] The MC with presents never resents the consequences He presents the lyrics with no pretentious accents No pretentious accents, mate (Oh yeah, oh yeah) Yeah The MC with presents never resents the consequences He presents the lyrics with no pretentious accents No pretentious accents (Havin' a barbie') [Verse 3: Matty B] So it's simple, no scientific concept (Easy) Home is where my heart and my mic's style's kept (Yep) Red like a field of wheat in the wheat belt (Belt) It's obvious, all these Aussie sentiments that I felt (You feel?) And then we deal with all of these problems With which I've dealt 'Cause life's not always smooth as felt or silk The land of milk and honey as this country was once known As watch our reefs drilled for oil, it's multinationalism that's growing I can't believe the things they do (Not right) Environmental devastation in the Ningaloo So, think about it Yeah, think about it And maybe tell your whole crew [Turnable sample] Aussie flavor is highly contagious Aussie flavor is highly contagious
