Joelistics
First off I'd like to offer you all a warm welcome
From here in Melbourne where the sun shines seldom (right)
You might be anywhere at all in this world
B-boys and B-girls we're bringing gems and pearls
And like you we're unique in the treasure we speak
And this music we make cultivates our belief so
Let me kick an introduction on the drums
And get beginnings begun and role call the components
My name in Joelistics. ?"I'm Seed MC"
Paso's on the scratch and Yeroc works the beats
(Yeah, so who'd you say you guys were?)
We are TZU
How do you do you (Now listen)
Do what you do cos you
Love to do what you do? We do
We are TZU
How do you do you
Do what you do cos you
Love to do what you do?
We do
(Da da da da dum, da dum, da dum)
Emseed
We started off on street sides with hand drums
Upgraded to this, we're the grandsons
Of diggers and widows, immigrants, engineers,
Gamblers, jazz collectors 'n fishermen on piers
Our roots are panoramic, looser then Pan-jamming
From Syd to Melbs, New Plymouth to Pakistan
You could be on the bus daydreaming out the window
Or walking the bush track, it don't matter what you're in to
We've been choppin beats talking 'bout what we've been through
Now we've done the mic check, let the show continue
Joelistics
Cos these four fellas are Terence McKenna storytellers
Telling our tales and leaving trails like entrails
Tipping the scales til the cloud cut the clears
And these weird ideas move minds and rears
From earliest beginings to these current preceedings
From trees down to seedlings, we age well like reisling
So while we're breathing people keep breeding
Tzu's mission statement is to keep on keeping
For the cats with no cash or the folks in the mansions
We formed a band for the thinkers and dancers
The one's curious, looking for answers
The instrumentalists, rocking the jam 'n shit
The gold medallists, or the swimming-in-dam kids
The old settlers, or the tribes whose land it is
The pub rockers, and the bar staff
The fruit vendors and the art smart bohemians,
The whole damn demographic
This band stops traffic from back street to paddock
We put it down for the addicts and the fiends
and the friends who feel the soul of the music
We are TZU
How do you do you (Now listen)
Do what you do cos you
Love to do what you do? We do
We are TZU
How do you do you
Do what you do cos you
Love to do what you do?
We do
Da da da da dum, da dum, da dum
Da da da da dum, da dum, da dum
Da da da da dum, da dum, da dum
We...
Alright here it goes, here it goes
Ok... Can I come in?
(Scratching) Who's that?
Hang on
