Sobering Lyrics

[Dr. Ugs]
Tricky Mac how dare you part take in this cranking it business?
You know DJ ORSi over here's trying to quit techno!
Have you no remorse for your sins boy?

[Tricky Mac]
Ah fuck
It's kinda sobering bro
You know when like you go out and you're like
You're pretty sure like, big night tonight yeah?
It's kinda sobering bro
And you're on the dancefloor, you know you're like seven caps deep
And like honestly?
You know you don't really feel anything?
And you're kinda like what the fuck?
Like are these duds or like what's going on?
So you look over at your own mate and he's on thе same shit you are and he's full fuckеn flying, fucken dinner plates and shit he's fucked
It's kinda sobering bro
And you're just like, is my tolerance too high?
Am I high right now and don't realise like, whaa?
It's kinda sobering bro
So you're like fuck it, I know I'll have some ket
Surely that'll wake me up, but
It's kinda sobering bro
You know you've had two grams of ket in the last couple days so your tolerance is through the fucken roof and you're at the point where like
It's kinda sobering bro
You have to demolish a 50 bag in like one bump to feel like anything for twenty minutes
And then
It's kinda sobering bro
You know, you're midway through the week, it's Wednesday and you've already spent fucken 600 bucks on ket
You like, go to fill your car up with petrol and you wanna buy some darts but like you can't afford to pay for anything man coz you've just got no money left dude
So like
It's kinda sobering bro
You call your mum, you're like aww you know, could you come pick me up from United and like, you got a spare 50?
And she's like, "nah I'm at work."
And you know that song by The Offspring?
You know, "Why don't you get a job?"
It's kinda sobering bro
She just starts like singing like, reciting those lyrics to ya
And you're like Mum, how many times do I fucken have to tell you?
I hate it, ooh I fucken hate it
It's kinda sobering bro
When you fucken use song lyrics in like real life situations and shit, like not only does it make me not like that song but
It's kinda sobering bro
It also just brings me down like I'm nothing more than an Everyday Low Price at Coles or something
God!
Like when my mum sings like happy songs to me like
You know, fucken Fruit Salad yummy, yummy
It's not that sobering bro
By The Wiggles you're like fuck oath man coz like coz you're happy and you're hyped and you're totally psyched up coz like
It's not that sobering bro
You know you're having fruit salad and that shit's yummy, yummy!
Like they get that with the lyrics, they're happy but when she has these sad lyrics you're like
It's kinda sobering bro
Mum! Shut the fuck up, seriously, please
I don't need this right now
It's kinda sobering bro
And look, I get it
You can't put ket dealer
Hectic fucken rapper on your fucken like
You're LinkedIn, social, corporate, media, fucken, social, hierarchy, fucken, patriarchy, society, whatever the fuck like
I get it, you can't put that out there
Coz the world has a problem with cunts like me man!
All we get is judgement from cunts like you man!
Like this is my fucken life and honestly
[Dr. Ugs]
Tricky Mac please, shhh
