Shredding the Balloon Lyrics


Suffa Verse 1:
Like we always do about this time, ink lines for the sick rhymes inclined,
It's grimy shit but naughty that can't be fixed with a little bit of spitshine,
Big time like Frankie in Vages, inspiring like Ali and Frazier,
Spit it out till we spilling out to the street start a party up with our neighbours,
I'd rather be part of your playlist, than ever be part of your A-list,
Harness the energy, heart of a pedigree with the scars of a sadist,
I go so hard on the pavement; I go so far with my statements,
That i don't know where they end and where i start it's all part of game it's,
The farthest I've came since I started to play it, I spar with these artists, the heartless and brainless,
We're harnessed by chains that are hard to escape and you change then they label us bastards and traitors,
They're charlatans, they're haters, they start on us but they're fake as,
Our parliament, but don't be disheartened by them pardon their failures,
If we don't forgive our enemies, we'll crawl the walls like centipedes,
Burn our energy like fossil fuels and fuel our own damn effigy,
And we'll all burn like Hennessey, so keep on then and step with me,
John Lennon let it be, dead the beef like abattors, before these scavengers tear at me.
Chorus:

I've been waiting to come back,
Like where the hell is the show?,
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
Getting ready to blow,
I've been waiting to come back,
Like where the hell is the show?,
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
Getting ready to blow,Suffa Verse 2:
And it might blow up but i won't go pop,
And it might blow up but it won't burst,
She said she might grow old but she won't grow up,
Well she might, but only if I go first,
She wears her heart on her sleeve like; she's wearing a patch on her shoulder,
It's not a matter of whether i can catch her, more a matter of whether i can hold her,
She thinks out loud she's got me; she laughs with her whole body,
I think about how she got it all figured out and wonder why she'd even want me,
Each night i find it's the same ole, when i crawl inside in the evening,
I lie down next to an angel; fall asleep and fly with me demons,
They say don't live in the past and live each day like it was your last but,
I'd rather live each moment like it was my first, take it slow and sip from the glass,
Savour the moment, spit vicious bars then pray for opponents,
Sounds so serious don't it? But I'm not concerned with a thing,
This is book three, Tolkien, Return of the King,
The Kings have arrived; we drink from the sky,
We fall from all 'cause we think we can fly,
But our wings have been tied, and the winging and lies,
Have me I'm wishing that i could bridge the divide,
You living the life? In the blink of an eye,
The shine of the bling and the rims that your ride,
Can all disappear so live for the rhyme,
Not material things your gifts can provide
Chorus:
I've been waiting to come back,
Like where the hell is the show?
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
We're getting ready to blow,
I've been waiting to come back,
Like we're the hell is the show?,
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
I'm getting ready right now I'm getting ready,Suffa Verse 3:
Since 'State of the Art' we've stayed in the yard just waiting to start this shit all over,
Laying in bars for a day and a half, had to switch from gin to soda,
And by like mid October, record was six month over,
Due, and I'm like dude what you expect? I'm only three month sober,
Coming up turning tree trunks over, running up burning divas, posers,
Run amok till the sun is up or till one of us live la vidaloca,
I'm going ta roll until i fold, like I got a hold of Propafol,
So beautiful to know you all but for now I'm over an out.

Hilltop Hoods is a hip hop group, formed in 1991, from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Their name refers to Hilltop Road In Blackwood, an Adelaide suburb in which they lived as children, and a part of Adelaide known by all the local B-Boys as The Hilltop. One day, another local rapper, Flak from the Cross Bred Mongrels, said that's what they should call themselves, and the name stuck.

The group formed when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at high school. When they later hooked up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend, the trio was complete.

They were inspired by American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Pete Rock, who encouraged them to spread this style of music in Australia.

The Hilltop Hoods have released eight successful recordings - Back Once Again (EP - 1997), A Matter of Time (LP - 1999), Left Foot, Right Foot (LP - 2001), The Calling (LP - 2003), The Hard Road (LP - 2006), The Hard Road: Restrung (LP-2007) ,State Of The Art (LP - 2009) and Drinking From The Sun (LP - 2012). The Calling achieved gold status in Australia (35,000+ copies sold), the first hip-hop album to do so. Two tracks (The Nosebleed Section and Dumb Enough) received places in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, at 9th and 44th respectively. The Nosebleed Section also came in at number 17 in the Triple J Hottest Hundred Of All Time, making it the highest ranked Australian song on the list, and the only hip-hop track to make the cut. LP The Hard Road also topped the Australian charts, another first for Australian Hip-Hop.


Aside from their own albums, they have featured on a number of highly respected compilation albums, including Obesecity and Culture of Kings Vol. 1 & 2, and have collaborated with most of the main players of the Australian hip hop scene including Koolism, Mass MC, Pegz, Muphin, Layla, Hyjak and Bonez.

They have played many large Australian music festivals, including the Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festivals. They have received nominations for the Best Hip Hop Act in 2001 and 2002 at the 3D World Dance Music Awards, won the APRA award for best up-coming group as well as receiving number one positions in independent charts all around Australia.
