The Wiz
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Double K:]
Connected through the Pacific, and a pass to board an aircraft
Connected through the good vibes, sunshine
And good, fashionable living
With my mindset, my grind set on Beastie Boy
The continent down under the stairs
Rode down, took a couple of flights and got acquainted
Seen a picture painted with pretty women and big fun
All the way from Los Angeles, not worried 'bout no gun
The Aboriginal One snuck down from the gritty of the city
Land on the Gold Coast, you worth the wait
We funk smuggling, trolling up the good scenery
Living the wild life, one coast to another
Everyone you meet here, they like your sister or your brother
I'm chucking up a pint for the night
See the sound man's cool, and my mic sounds right
Take a trip to the Ayers with my people and rock the house party
I'm here to make history, we get the girls naughty
([Both:] Yeahhh) I'm the Wizard of Aus, chilling
And Lord willing, I'll spend the rest of my life here
Walk away from cheers and look back to see my family
Just to arrive back, and see these folks standing me
Shouts to my Kiwis, the whole Southern Hemisphere
LAX can wait… yo, mate, I'll take another beer
([Both, scratched:] Yeahhh)
[Double K:] I'm the Wizard of Aus, chilling
And Lord willing, I'll spend the rest of my life here
[Thes One:] So let me roll you a round of the Coopers Beer
And let me roll you a round of this Coopers Beer, it's like…
([Both, scratched:] Yeahhh)
[Double K:] I'm the Wizard of Aus, chilling
And Lord willing, I'll spend the rest of my life here
[Thes One:] So let me roll you a round of the Coopers Beer
And let me roll you a round of this Coopers Beer
[Rap sample:] It's about you and me
And how we've come a long way… that's right…
[Thes One:]
I never felt like a stranger when I was here
So let me roll you a round of the Coopers Beer
Adelaide, Perth to Melbourne, Brizzy and Sin City
The land of the "fair go", yo, I'm home, did you miss me?
You're too fly, I take a trip from Coogee to Bondi
With that beer and the Esky, St. Kilda, The Espy
On the balcony chilling, watch the bay where they Jet Ski
Thinking "she'll be right", getting on the mic if they let me
Come on back, we eat the Fast Eddy's, not the Hungry Jack's
Swimming with the manky bush women and the lumberjacks
In the Blue Mountains, with my brother, it's Flava Dave
It's my Big Day Out, Field Day-in' at the rave
So I'mma throw a prawn on the barbie and mingle
Pumping that Down Under, P-Funk "Atomic Dingo"
People, yes, the People Down Under The Stairs
A million miles away from L.A., fake gangster and players
A.U.S.T., coming up like the Def Wish Cast
I'mma make the most of the Coast, I hold my dream...
([Both, scratched:] Yeahhh)
[Double K:] I'm the Wizard of Aus, chilling
And Lord willing, I'll spend the rest of my life here
[Thes One:] So let me roll you a round of the Coopers Beer
And let me roll you a round of this Coopers Beer, it's like…
([Both, scratched:] Yeahhh)
[Double K:] I'm the Wizard of Aus, chilling
And Lord willing, I'll spend the rest of my life here
[Thes One:] So let me roll you a round of the Coopers Beer
And let me roll you a round of this Coopers Beer
([Spoken sample:] That's right…) it's like…
([Both, scratched:] Yeahhh)
[Double K:] I'm the Wizard of Aus, chilling
And Lord willing, I'll spend the rest of my life here (echoes)
