GOAL KEEPAZ Lyrics

Tall Poppy Syndrome

It's a cultural phenomenon

In which people hold back

Criticize or sabotage those who have or are believed to have achieved notable success

In one or more aspects of life

Particularly intellectual or cultural wealth

Hense

Cutting down the tall poppy

We experience this on a daily basis

Now by our own people

All for what

K.O K.O

Do I have to tell them brother?

Aye yeah

They struggle with the tall poppy

But fuck it lad they can't stop me

Cause we descend from the OGs my cuz

I get back up like I'm Rocky

I'm built different lad it's too easy

They never had what I needed

So who gives a fuck what they're preaching

They be moving like the Goal Keepers

Now I'm up and that they can't reach us

I been up late night rhythm and bars in the booth

In the day time back in the trench

I don't want to hear no chat about doing it tough cuz

Nobody's fucking impressed

I don't give a fuck how hard they act

Don't care if you done a few lags in a pen

I just want to get what's mine fuck that I'm a take what's mine

Give a fuck what's next

Cause I just get better

While a rude boy hating

I never gave two shits my brother

I'm flagrant

I got the gyaldem chasing

They want to fuck with a G on a link & chill

But I chase them bills

I can never be complacent

I stay keen for the big work

Been digging big dirt with mud on face

Just to put this dream to reality

Invision what I want then I get it infront of me

Brother it's a big mentality

I'm on a big man ting

I don't make excuses

Fuck what a big man telling me

That man is a doofus calling me useless

Brother I'm a keep my sanity

Only thing I wanna lose is calories

Fuck cuz you see that Māori bloke trying to act hard on the mic with bally on face?

Nah cuz don't sit there and hate that he filling his plate & he putting our people in place

Where they can afford to eat

K.O got to voice the truth

Of living in poverty bay

For all of the Māori youth

They got us slaving away but he paving a way

They want to see you do good but don't want to see you do better

Only want to milk the cash like suge

Fuck them all, shit I been fed up

If you got plans and that well you could go plan ahead & just fucking get up

Get to the cheddar

There's opportunities in front of your face but you just got to lift your head up

They want to see you do good yeah but don't want to see you do better

Only wanna milk the cash like suge

Fuck them all, shit I been fed up

If you got plans and that well you could go plan ahead & fucking get up

And get to the cheddar

There's opportunities in front of your face

They struggle with the tall poppy

But fuck it lad they can't stop me

Cause we descend from the OGs my cuz

I get back up like I'm Rocky

I'm built different lad it's too easy

They never had what I needed

So who gives a fuck what they're preaching

They be moving like the Goal Keepers

Now I'm up and that they can't reach us

Seems like my people are aiming for the wrong thing you know

Instead of shooting for the stars

They shoot eachother down

Shits crazy

They be moving like the Goal Keepers
