Illy - Great To Be Here lyrics

"It’s great to be here" uh huh, yeah
"Great to be here" i see you, baby
"It’s great to be here in your arms"
Yeah, now this is me, Illy
Oh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, Illy yeah

First off, I want to thank you all
To everyone involved for all of your support
I couldn’t do it without ya
I mean it from my core
Without you here, it wouldn’t be real
I’d still be in my bedroom rhymin’ to myself
Yeah, rappin’ up my wall
But passion for the cause
Turned a little somethin’ to
A little bit more
And I ain’t got a problem at all, na
I’m in a league with the
Apes and with the greats
And tell these kids to stick to their playpen
As far as I’m concerned
My flow’s the illest out (yep)
Regarding Melbourne, I still
Carry the Frankston line on my back
Like a big bad ass tattoo (Frankston line)
So, when they see me "that’s you"
And when they see you, that’s me too
My Frankston line dudes, come on

"It’s great to be here, great to be here"
Thank you, I ain’t goin’ nowhere, man
"It’s great to be here in your arms"
I’m right here
"Thank you, baby, thank you, baby, oh" yeah
"It’s great to be here, great to be here"
Thank you, I ain’t goin’ nowhere, man
"It’s great to be here in your arms"
I’m right here
"Thank you, baby, thank you, baby, oh" yeah

I was just a little fucker, Frankston liner
Chucker upper
Beefin’ with my old folks, no big brother
I’ve never had much, but I never had nothing
Can’t say I suffered anything
Tougher than you’d expect
From some scruffy head
Teenage punk getting’ messed
Huh, actin’ he’s livin’ on the
Edge was a must
But livin’ on the edge wasn’t us
Closest I came to death was my stomach pump
What can I say? The Aussie
Blokes love a drunk
What can I say? The Aussie girls love a trick
What can I say? I played the role comfortably
And I ain’t sayin’ that I done
It hard or by any measure
I just recall and record it better
This is for you
You’re the reason I wrote this
The reason I bit that, my reason to give back

"It’s great to be here, great to be here"
Thank you, I ain’t goin’ nowhere, man
"It’s great to be here in your arms"
I’m right here
"Thank you, baby, thank you, baby, oh"
"It’s great to be here, great to be here"
Thank you, I ain’t goin’ nowhere, man
"It’s great to be here in your arms"
I’m right here
"Thank you, baby, thank you, baby, oh"

Yeah, man
"It’s great to be here, great to be here"
So, when it’s all said and
Done, what matters is, man
"It’s great to be here in your arms"
People’ll go "you’re back" "I’m right here"
"Thank you, baby, thank you, baby, oh"
And this is a thank you to
The people who have mine
"It’s great to be here, great to be here"
Just no super star shit
It’s just me, my fam’, my mates
"It’s great to be here in your arms"
The people supportin’ me "I’m right here"
What up motherfuckers?
"Thank you, baby, thank you, baby, oh" yeah
