BUNYIP BEAT
time to phone it in
pickin’ up a 50, in a night i’ll finish it
tryna feel the love but they hate the little kid
they tryna clear the fog but we keep it hella lit
with the ruby doobie in the 97’ whip
i’m feeling shit, thinkin bout how everyone so inconsiderate
perpetually unfit, i need a smoke, i need a sit
purple sunsets, me and you
cigarettes, beautiful view
do it again super soon
maybe next week, somewhere new
just wanna feel in the loop
maybe meet somebody new
who are you? how do you do?
please come back, i’m so alone
hell, your boy back with some L’s
piggys ask, we never tell

but no one feel it, oh well
i see you baby, come to me

Bilby Big Time
fiddlin’ with my Fender in the crib
tryna’ find a lighter so i can relight my spliff
they say i got a lot of talent for a little kid
wanna make a banger, kinda wanna make it big
but i’m way 2 high 2 sing high
kind of funny when you think about it
yeah i’m way 2 high 2 sing high
kinda ironic if you think about it
and i’m thinkin
where am i tryna’ go with this?
sold out venues, singin’ tits
tourin countries all that ish
think it through after this spliff
they say i need direction and financial plans
but all i really want is a verse from gucci mane
catch me out in pubs opening for shitty Sydney bands
catch me all online, never replying to online events
paycheck go to green,
probably should be home recording man

Weed and ‘Oh Well’s
she asked me ‘how you feel?’ and i said ‘mighty fine’
maybe i might find us a mighty wine
cuz i believe that time spent with wine leads to deeper feelings
and i’m tryna find whats inside for that realer meaning
i often fall for lies, and she had red eyes
we talk with something to smoke to get us immobilized
so we can’t walk away from conversations that we made this way
we withered away
i’d been away with ideas all day
you’d never tell
weed and ‘oh well’s
so some believe in gods, some believe in lies
some believe scientists with ideas that quantamize
i believe in sound, all around and being nice to people
sounds always around, heart bound, just be nice to people
while i theorize, extra fries on the side
Blinky Trill be skinny but i’m always fuckin high
sittin’ on a stone, in the sun cuz i know the heat will
rain down on my back, just relax, just be nice to people

Bilby PSA
if you love someone take care of them
if you hate someone then let them be
if you feel overstimulated
sit down with me and we’ll roll some weed
remove yourself from your center of though
no, the world does not revolve around you
consider others might need your support
no, the world does not revolve around you

DOWN THUNDA
i’m a big fan of me man, big spliffs and big hits
this is emo-trap, at least now you know
all i wanna do is decipher a flow
lookin’ like the white Peewee Longway with the dro
back back back
move back girl, man move back
a little insecure in the booth, i know
a little insecure in the studio
fuck all that
move back girl, man move back
a little bit of bilby on your radio
a little bit of bilby everywhere you go
for one night, think i might
show you a little secret
do you know what its like
to live life just like we do?
but if i tell this secret motherfuckers better keep it
do you want something to smoke?
do you wanna fuck on the low?
do you dip? do you drink? no?
its Bilby baby let em’ know!
swag swag swag like it’s 2011
drunk in church, amaretto and repentin’
drunk i swerve, now ammaretto up in heaven
had to google Panamera 911
now i go armadillo hard
wrong name on the eftpos card,
full tank in the rental car
my lungs full of that lovely tar
monumental mental scars
i’ll never tell this secret, cunts forever creepin’
but i hope you feel well man, its been long as hell, fam
lets smoke through this hell man, you know what i need
now i’m 22, grab the crew, mix the juice with weed
raise the levels and the lights til i cant hear or see
recognize the smell? yeah we careful, you can tell
and she been gettin’ wet but i swim through the swell
this that down under thunder
Blinky kill the scum, hit the blunt, now he feelin free
Blinky kill the scum, hit the blunt, bring out the love it me
sock em’ if they tell man, pockets full of hell, dam
i’m feelin kinda tipsy baby girl, so come and kiss me
yea we cute and the arguments minute
and the garments all high Q
and the barmans eyein’ you
but i’m all she tryna view
this is a verse from Blinky Trill
the Ford is four deep yeah we out to thrill
pay this shit end up payin my bills
they say i’m hot stuff baby, dont you know?
300 bucks, how far can that go?
and ounce of green or a gram of snow
give me that green, i’d like to feel mellow

Bilby NSW, Australia
Bilby takes the universally human and wraps it in the quintessentially Australian. His fresh sound subverts the Aussie Hip
Hop status quo, injecting a tenderness to the genre without compromising on swagger.
"A Genius.." - Triple J
“…equal parts catchy left-field hip-hop silliness and striking poignancy, echoing the frustrations of young adulthood much more than first appears.” – Rolling Stone
