[Verse 1 - Illy:]
|
Ma, I guess I took the summer
|
Why? I was buzzing, didn't wanna stop
|
Flying seaplanes above the yacht
|
3 ways, on the beach, smoke signs to the southern cross
|
These day's just another notch on the belt
|
Hell nah, leave the holidays for the others to
|
I toured so much the flight path's stuck on loop
|
A guy stopped me, asked what'd I been upto, dude
|
I've been everywhere man, where the fuck were you?
|
Sucks to come off rude, well nah it doesn't
|
Cause it's fucking true, my luggage frayed, but ain't underused
|
The shit's legendary, and new tracks ready
|
Full of beats, rhymes and melodies, my peeps like they better be dope
|
I asked 'em last time to remember me
|
Shit, I hope they got a damn fine memory
|
It's time to come back, gotta pick it up, slack
|
For a minute or three, and the fans gonna scream "where ya been"
|
|
[Hook - Illy:]
|
Where ya been, haven't seen ya face in a minute
|
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
|
Man, where ya been, checking for your new songs daily
|
The wait gets worse by the week
|
I wondered where ya been, I wondered where ya been
|
Hear it all the time man
|
Like it was my theme
|
Man I'm back, you'd be crazy if you thought I'd leave
|
So relax, put your mind at ease, yo Pez where ya been
|
|
[Verse 2 - Pez:]
|
Man, in Vietnam and Milan
|
Off to Amsterdam, then Japan, then to France
|
Every second day was on a plane on a holiday
|
Went around the world and saw alot of shit along the way
|
"word?" nah, in truth I've just been in my house
|
Spending most my time here, sitting round, chilling out
|
Stressing on the album, I just want to get it finished now
|
Cause I been feeling like I'm missing out, shit
|
Been sick, but I don't need nobody's sympathy
|
Cause my health helped me look at life a little differently
|
Instead of going out, partying like every day
|
I just gotta stay home and try to meditate
|
But it's all good, finally I'm on board
|
And now I'm in it for the long haul, yeah
|
I can't wait to stand with Illy up on stage
|
At a sold out show and hear the whole crowd go "where ya been"
|
|
[Hook - Pez:]
|
Where ya been, haven't seen ya face in a minute
|
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
|
Man, where ya been, checking for your new songs daily
|
The wait gets worse by the week
|
I wondered where ya been, I wondered where ya been
|
Hear it all the time man
|
Like it was my theme
|
Man I'm back, you'd be crazy if you thought I'd leave
|
So relax, put your mind at ease, yo Illy where ya been
|
|
[Verse 3 - Illy:]
|
Man I been on tour, wishing I was home "sure"
|
Nah, if anything I'm living for the shows more
|
Looking back to 04, I was so poor
|
Fuck eating off rap, I couldn't buy my own fork
|
|
[Verse 4 - Pez:]
|
It's no sure thing, but we don't care
|
Always, hopeful, it would lead somewhere, and now
|
Nearly every mc seems to be known
|
In 3 years, can't believe how the scene's grown
|
|
[Verse 5 - Illy:]
|
When rappers can afford to leave home
|
And teens got aussie hip-hop on their ringtone
|
Even old folks are down with the lingo
|
It's a trip, I been everywhere everyone's loving this shit
|
|
[Verse 6 - Pez:]
|
Who'd of thought it would be something this big
|
Hopefully this is just the beginning "yeah, I hope so P"
|
What can you say man, it feels like a dream
|
If you don't know what we mean, then fuck, where ya been?
|
|
[Hook - Pez/Illy:]
|
Where ya been, haven't seen ya face in a minute
|
Been looking, nowhere to be seen
|
Man, where ya been, checking for your new songs daily
|
The wait gets worse by the week
|
I wondered where ya been, I wondered where ya been
|
Hear it all the time man
|
Like it was my theme
|
Man I'm back, you'd be crazy if you thought I'd leave
|
So relax, put your mind at ease, where ya been
