Briggs - The Hunt

Chorus 1: Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu

Ad-Libs: Briggs
Yeah, ah-ha

Verse 1: Briggs
No time to be nervous, I work like they don't deserve it
These clowns get around like they're missing a circus
Superb it's amazing how they're twisting the verbs and
The kids get excited and they reach for the purse and
Spend their hard earned, start repeating your verses
Reaching for stars but not reaching the person
Jump in the deep end, just breaking the surface
Not standing in line so they can not serve us
But you gotta be patient, are you willing to wait there?
When the timing's right are you ready to take it?
I been honing my components, waiting for my moment
And now I'm gonna own it, just feed me my opponents
Ain't no one been ahead of me, I'm spittin' kerosene
Their catalogue is junk mail, I'm leavin' legacies
And I give 'em every right to be mad at me
They can only take aim at the one they see
(Take your shot, son)

Chorus 2: Briggs
Anything worth having ain't never coming easy
It's the hunt that we're on that bring another meal
Anything worth having ain't never coming easy
It's to the hunt we belong, man, that's just how I feel


Bridge: Briggs
The system ain't broken, it's the way that it works
It is what it is, son, it is what it is
Just a beautiful thing, a gift and a curse
It is what it is, son, it is what it is

Verse 2: Briggs
We survived a death roll, death toll's something special
Here lies the best, put that on my head stone
The epitaph fit, the fact of that is
Got to cracking that whip and put a dent ya headphones
Homeless? I wasn't ready for home yet
I was building my name up and hedging my own bet
I was out on the road missing more than my own bed
Missing these pieces that were keepin' my own head
Got caught up, sorta, swapped gin for water
Jordans for my daughter, brought up, borders
Crowd still applaud us, cause we give 'em four quarters
From standing in the corner with anxiety disorders
Glutton for punishment, I was heading back for seconds
So they hand me a sentence of antidepressants
And I'm citizen second in my land of descendants
But I'm independent like the pendant on my necklace

Chorus 2: Briggs
Anything worth having ain't never coming easy
It's the hunt that we're on that bring another meal
Anything worth having ain't never coming easy
It's to the hunt we belong, man, that's just how I feel


Chorus 1: Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu

Outro: Briggs
It's to the hunt we belong man, that's just how I feel
