If Not Now, When?

[Intro] Holding on to something Overseas, all the vehicles I never wanna go back I'll never wanna be alone I never wanna know this So tell me it's all wrong [Verse 1] Yeah, my grandmother always said that "Much wants more" That means no matter how much you got, you just want more I got my first gold plaque, I was happy for a second Then I started thinking of my next one I guess the key is press on, the car was hot as Szechuan Driving in a lemon like my name was Ayrton At Double Dragon restaurant, a city somewhere else in time I leave clues for those looking, they are there to find But it's a world where the genuine are left behind The cold-blooded ones, they know how to get their shine A snake eats its tail, a baby enters as an elder leaves Sail in ships and your tears made the seven seas I spit the melodies and words that are sent to me Teeth yellowy, mouth like a lemon tree Just a soul on a trip but we didn't pack Just a soul in a body that I'm giving back [Chorus] I say if not now, when? Took you for granted back then My grandma used to say "Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you could do today" Been away now for a month of Sundays When I see you again, it's a party Stuff a dragon head, hang it in the hallway Never forget, we came a long way [Verse 2] Living on borrowed time, can I have an extension? Then God sent me back down, that's astral rejection I've seen drugs ruin everything, that's family convention Yeah, I know I'm walking with an angel's protection I told her, "I'm not Catholic, but I know my angels" She said, "I'm not beautiful, but I know my angles" These loves immortalised in all the songs I write Thanks for the inspiration, even though it wasn't right Over waves to Australia on a Qantas flight I was on the wave of doubt that I often ride Far from home, since I cut back, it's another zone Y'all rappers need to cut back before your money's blown Call the label on the money phone, ask 'em for another loan And they hung up the phone Did it without a cosign, but they steal my essence My mortgage says 'Tom', I couldn't ring my parents Hope your dreams come true, like there's a genie present You won't know what you wished for until you get it Fame's a hot seat, don't let your blood boil I keep my heart in the fridge, don't let my heart spoil I saw a flower grow up from the hard soil These rappers tell you leave your girl 'cause they aren't loyal And trade her pancake arse for a bubble butt All the Xans and double cups, they got you muddled up You'll end up alone, chasing another rush Pussy and drugs, a double dragon that's hard to snuff I stay with the ones who were there for me I know there's crocs in the water like the Territory I know there's good people 'round everywhere, surely But sometimes it just feels like 'Where's Wally?' I couldn't get it through my thick Irish head That I deserve happiness, but last night I said [Chorus] I say if not now, when? Took you for granted back then My grandma used to say "Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you could do today" Been away now for a month of Sundays When I see you again, it's a party Stuff a dragon head, hang it in the hallway Never forget, we came a long way
