Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm in the back of a ute and I'm freshly servin'
B 'n E brew I got a esky burstin'
From doin' loops and a rexy burnin'
To the babble of this beat started jet ski surfin'
[Verse 2]
I keep, keep, it, I keep, I keep on it
Dig beats deep as a creek and speak sonic
The waves that I make can capsize canoes
You can bathe in the wake to baptize your crew
[Verse 3]
When I'm down by the river, bangin' from Sydney
Hand on my outboard, fangin' my dinghy
Streams run free, all over the globe
Still water runs deep, so go with this flow
[Verse 4]
As long as the Amazon, as deep as the Congo
The heart of the party, the beats on the bongo
A bonfire is the inner camp visual
Werewolves howl at the river bank ritual
[Chorus]
Down by the river, I learned how to swim
Where the records play and wash away all the stress that's been
[Chorus]
It fueled my fire higher
It took me higher, higher
Up and up and up, let's go
Come on, come on, come on, let go
[Verse 5]
Yeah the funhouse is open
And now the sundown's approachin'
The boat shed is where I live it up all day
And magic mushrooms litter the walkway
[Verse 6]
To a gumtree swing for the hot sun
Where we fish off the dock with a shotgun
And a BMX track out the back
Not givin' a shit with a pig on a spit
[Verse 7]
And you can bet your bottom dollar, there's a bong or two
We got the backyard lookin' like Taronga Zoo
With a fluro skyline, bats in the distance
Fact is you won't catch Max doin' dishes
[Verse 8]
We got an AK, shooting clay pigeons
And Ism on the decks banging Gravediggaz
And if the cops come and stop the beat
That's when I let a pack of Ridgebacks off the leash
[Chorus]
Down by the river, I learned how to swim
Where the records play and wash away all the stress that's been
[Chorus]
It fueled my fire higher
It took me higher, higher
Up and up and up, let's go
Come on, come on, come on, let go
[Chorus]
It fueled my fire higher
It took me higher, higher
Up and up and up, let's go
Come on, come on, come on, let go
[Verse 9]
It's the time on the clock when the train goes
So I glide off the pot on a rainbow
See my sight at the top of the Range Rove
And I'm right on the dot when I aim, bro
[Verse 10]
I just ride down the block wearing plain clothes
With the eye of a croc-killing cane toad
When I'm live in the spot of the main grove
I love to hear the whole crowd say "Ayo"
[Verse 11]
And not a second of silence
B 'n E worldwide reppin' the island
It's so much when they're boppin' and they're vibin'
So go nuts like a rocket in a silo
[Verse 12]
Drunk in a dinghy, actin' like pirates
The boat that rocked once Macca got violent
Bad to the bone on a Hanzo classic
While kids backflip on a jumbo mattress
[Verse 13]
So bounce, and let your hair down
Up the body count and let off spare rounds
And don't hurt no one, and don't touch my person punk
[Verse 14]
So, take it from me, I stay on the top when they're shakin' the tree
Yeah, and in a matter of minutes no matter the limit
I rap and I rip it so you know Big Macca done did it
[Chorus]
Down by the river, I learned how to swim
Where the records play and wash away all the stress that's been
[Chorus]
It fueled my fire higher
It took me higher, higher
Up and up and up, let's go
Come on, come on, come on, let go
