[Verse 1 - Illy:]
|
Seems like we grew up in a world
|
Where marketing's the reason you sell
|
So everybody's got a story
|
Or achievments to tell
|
These days seems everyone's repeating themselves
|
I'd change it but in truth it can't really be helped
|
Because what you about to do
|
Has been done one hundred times
|
Before you had thunk it
|
From Melbourne to London
|
Produces made beats before you could spell drumkits
|
Really how unique can you be I mean c'mon kid?
|
From the days of record stores
|
To the days of online message boards
|
Its all been said before
|
For ages I'd have sought inspiration
|
To create the same place where now you draw yours from
|
But your aim's to paint an image
|
But I know you ain't breaking limits
|
With the same (same) but different
|
It's like South Park when the Simpsons did it
|
I try to be one of a kind with my lyrics, but...
|
|
[Hook - Illy:]
|
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
|
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
|
And no idea's original no more
|
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
|
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
|
And no idea's original no more
|
|
[Verse 2 - Illy:]
|
Right I'm feeling like Jay
|
What more can I say
|
Only two albums deep
|
Like a quarter of the way
|
To the finish line
|
Some claim kick back give it time
|
Other's like hustle harder it'll slip by
|
So here it is
|
Conscious to the fact that the rhymes that I spat
|
In past times just might overlap
|
If they do dig deep and cope with that
|
Repetition is the father of learning
|
You're dead if you don't adapt
|
And I built it I'mma about it so I'mma still rep proud
|
Stick to my guns like the building's surounded
|
And bring the house down till they're kicking me out of it
|
Still have the freshest shit out on each album
|
Cause it's true no idea's original right
|
But a different perspective can give a new light
|
So I pull the pen out now I'm giving you mine
|
It's for you to press play sit back in the saab
|
|
[Hook - Illy:]

Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar

Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar

I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
|
And no idea's original no more
|
|
I know you've heard this before
|
(one, two, three, four, four, three, two, one)
|
|
[Verse 3 - Illy:]
|
One mic
|
Two mic
|
Three mic
|
Four check it
|
Fine line between fine mic and broken records
|
Between recognising flaws and applause
|
Lets see what shit I can't tackle anymore
|
No momentary happiness or footprints in the sand
|
No pedal to the metal chase or cigarettes in hand
|
All good I'll get by
|
But I hope you understand
|
The same values I had
|
Still define who I am
|
I'm a hip hop boy
|
Leave the dubstep to club heads
|
I loose my shit to it
|
But ain't rapped on it once yet
|
It ain't me
|
Trends come and go
|
But at the time it got known
|
I'd already out grown it
|
I guess what i've learnt is my golden rule
|
Is the only thing that matters is the fans
|
That's who made this possible for me
|
So I'm responsible for you
|
It might not be the new
|
But nothing can beat truth
|
|
[Hook - Illy:]
|
So please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
|
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
|
And no idea's original no more
|
|
Forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
|
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
I'm only one voice
|
Yeah I'm only one voice
|
But that voice speaks up for y'all
|
|
[Ending - Illy:]
|
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
|
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
|
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
Please forgive me if it all sounds so familiar
|
I'm sure that you've heard this all before
|
I'm only one voice in a world of billions
|
And no idea's original no more
