Where Ya Been - Illy, PEZ

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»

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

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»

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

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

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

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

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?

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
