Lyrics:

verse 1
I don’t know if you know how much I miss ya brother
Can’t remember when we stopped being there for each other
Used to hang out on a daily basis
Sitting up on your verandah staring down at the pavement
The city was a blank cassette
And we’d be working on that demo every chance that we get
Talking bout girls and last nights encounter
Did you really try to jump the bouncer?
Comparing rhymes and emotional baggage
Break ups and drum breaks that’s all we could manage
A history of hip hop there on the corner
A whole wall of CDs in alphabetical order
Always had that new release the week that it dropped
All them underground classics way before they were hot
Head nodders to bed rockers, bass that made an impression
Now I’m out of the loop I’m overdue for a session

chorus
I got a favour to ask
I ain’t talking moving house or painting up the garage
I just need to see your ugly mug dude
Share some music tell me what you been up to
I got a favour to ask
It ain’t cleaning out the fridge or help fixing the car
I just need to see your ugly mug dude
Tell me what you been up to
-
verse 2
It’s OK if you ain’t got shit to say
If you can barely even make it to til the end of the day
Might be the same conversation as the last one
That’s all good just as long we can start one
I know you been carrying a truck load
You don’t wanna dump the lot but I can take a chunk bro
They want us to shut up and be tougher
That shits a scam man unload on a brother
I’m here whenever you ready
whether we sharing a tune or we making silences heavy
just a pair of old S.B.D.’s
squeezing our 30 something bellies into 32 jeans
I fucking love you bro I don’t say it enough
It’s easier to joke than really opening up
But I ain't seen your goofy grin in a minute
Do me a solid, come and gimme me a visit

chorus

I just need to see your ugly mug dude
Share some music tell me what you been up to
I got a favour to ask
It ain’t cleaning out the fridge or help fixing the car
I just need to see your ugly mug dude
Tell me what you been up to
