Proud by Mind Over Matter Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2008

[Chorus: Choir]
I feel like life's right
In the palm of my hand
No matter what they say
I'm proud of who I am
From a fire that burns like the sun
I'm just doin' me
So I can smile when I'm done

[Verse 1: Willow]
It's Willow and Smiles, two Tarzan look-a-likes
Lookin' like we sleeping in the woods at night
With a big old banana leaf that covers my nads
'Cause that's how we do it in a jungle of hash
We changin' nothin' for cash this for my listeners breathin'
'Cause that right there was a picture of freedom
And we in it this evenin' with blue skies ahead
Living day by day 'cause we those type of men
So come and chill with us where it's a little on the windy side
And I'm bettin' you ain't been this high
'Cause son, I been this high on the business side
I'm buyin' drinks tonight, that's how I live my life
Whether ninety or nineteen, I'm still young at heart
Like if I believe I'm old, that's when the trouble starts
That's how I plan on getting through life, man
Just happy as hell with bein' who I am
[Chorus: Choir]
I feel like life's right
In the palm of my hand
No matter what they say
I'm proud of who I am
From a fire that burns like the sun
I'm just doin' me
So I can smile when I'm done

[Verse 2: Smiles Again]
It's Willow and Smiles, two bums chantin' a sang
At the park tryna catch a sun tan in a thong
It don't mean that I'm not nice 'cause I'm a hot guy
With a face like a dropped pie that's squashed twice
I stroll the underground in me ripped muddy socks
'Cause the mainstream's a bit bloody odd
If we hit that position, we gone walk on its best rug
Until it's check mate and our support is the chess club
I'm as raw as the next thug
Except I tell the truth while they lie more than my ex does
They say life's a bitch, I was born to protest
(Ow) So I grabbed her by the nuts
For the Australian rap scene
"Throw your hands in the air like you're hailing a taxi"
From the hustlin' rookies comin' up in this fully
Who stay proud like a nerd dunny flushin' a bully
[Chorus: Choir]
I feel like life's right
In the palm of my hand
No matter what they say
I'm proud of who I am
From a fire that burns like the sun
I'm just doing me
So I can smile when I'm done

[Verse 3: Smiles & Willow]
I live my life something like a mongrel on an abandoned porch Protectin' its bone with nothin' but hunger
Flea ridden, teeth grittin', still he keeps livin'
But ain't that the way it goes, he'll never let the beast get him
My life's somethin' like bungee jumping with no chord
Rather than so bored stuck in a clothes store
Don't wanna be known for workin' full-time
'Cause I've seen my dreams and I prefer that good life
It's no doubt that these kids be loony
High off life the same thing that keeps me moody
So l'ma keep it cruisy whilst up in the place
With this breezy attitude straight shoved in your face
Friends' mothers would say to my friends that they shouldn't ever
Hang out with him 'cause he wears hooded sweaters
Baggy pants and a low down hat to match
Judged from head to toe and you can bank on that
[Chorus (Extended): Choir]
I feel like life's right
In the palm of my hand
No matter what they say
I'm proud of who I am
From a fire that burns like the sun
I'm just doin' me
So I can smile when I'm done
Feel like life's right
In the palm of my hand
No matter what they say
I'm proud of who I am
From a fire that burns like the sun
I'm just doin' me
So I can smile when I'm done
Feel like life's right
In the palm of my hand
No matter what they say
I'm proud of who I am
From a fire that burns like the sun
I'm just doin' me
So I can smile when I'm done
