Lyndon's 50th: 'The World's Whitest Rapper' - 2014

November 7, 2015

2014, Melbourne, Australia

Yeah I wanna thank God

He’s the universe maker

Sent his son to Earth,

Cos he’s the soul taker

Mum, I couldn’t do it alone

If it wasn’t for your pushin’

I wouldn’t be on this Earth we call home

And dad, you were there from the start

Kickin footy in the street

Kickin footy in the dark

Kardinia Park, even though we didn’t win

But we’ve won three premierships since then

I got two sister

Justine and Melinda

She’s in UAE and I kinda miss her

We started life under the same roof

I tried to hit her with a bat

But there’s no proooof

Boom boom shake shake the house

I might have played a little long

I might have played a little loud

On my electric guitar

Yeah I could make it sing

You said it sounded like an angel throwing up in the sink

We were mission kids,

Eating meat from a can

Eating weavils with our breakfast

Man it must have been Home Brand

Games with sticks

Salt lakes, big snakes

Feather foots, tribal fights and every fortnight motorbikes

YEAH!

By chance or design my rhymes are never rusty

I hadn’t heard of Slim Shady it was Whitman or Dusty

That’s right

Fast forward to 1992

I was lookin for love

The girls were looking right through me

The Man upstairs, he had other plans

While I was swimming in the ocean

Brea was kicking in the sand, we hooked up!

It was just a matter of time before

BOOM! We were married with a child

Now, this is a shout out to all my little homies

Y’all know what’s what and you all think you know me

Well kids listen up, you better keep your shizzle clean

Your dad’s the whitest rapper the world has ever seen!

Hey, I’ll pop some coke in your glass

My homeboy Finn, yeah he’s one for the ages

Give him a book and he’ll read pages and pages

And pages

For ages ... and ages

And Jet, can run and run and run all day

He wears wife beaters in the pouring rain

His brown kicks with white sneakers

There’s holes in his knees

He’s the kid in the jumper when it’s 50 degrees

My main man Mustang, he’s not fussed

When we’re all in hurry, no he’s not rushed then!

If I had believed in clairvoyancy

I’d be calling, ‘Hey catch up Datsun 180B’

Yeah, oh listen up y’all

Let me tell you about Imogen

She’s the love of my life,

My own little daughter

Me and her mum and her brothers adore her

Yeah she laughs

... like a rock rattling around in a can

And when she smiles every angel  in heaven turns round and y’all

Yeah every angel in heaven turns around

That’s right.

Keep your eyes off her.

Now I thank God

For all my family

Those who grew up with me

And those who put up with me

And now here I am,

The World’s Whitest Rapper

With the world’s shortest career in the history of ever!

That’s right

Just want to thank Neil and Kirsten Sacco

Just want to thank everyone that’s here

My family, thank youmum, thank you dad

 The is a shout out to all my relatives that aren’t here

Yeah, word up, y’all

Yeah, that’s right, we’re all doin the time,

When I’m wreckin the rhymes

So now I’m signing off for the first and last time

You won’t see me again, or remember my name

I won’t be beatin on Rhiannon or hangin with Kanye

I won’t be kickin’ it old school, or rockin’ on the mike

I won’t be pimpin’ with the homies in a suit that is white

I won’t be all like, ‘Wassup P-Diddy’

Not there’ll be none of that,

Maybe until I’m Fitty

That’s all y’all

Peace out!
