Transmitting Live Songtext
von David Dallas

Get up on my frequency, you can catch me broadcast illegally
This raw South Pacific scenery, what you see in me
Is nothin′ like them Peter Jack' flicks, I never been the type
To treat the truth like it′s Mr Fantastic, just
Really so damn sick, don't stick to the damn script
You think you the man? I'm here to fuck up your plans quick
A little pedantic with the details, can′t hang with
Half these so-called experts, don′t speak my language
Don't write about this, listen up, you need to put your pens
Down ′cause you miss too much, could result in fisticuffs From half-truths gettin' spread in the quest for gettin′ bread
Ain't no tellin′ where we'll be led till I'm dead, rep the
Safagasi flag, peppered so we king
Another young Polynesian tryna go against the grain
Never donated to pastors that didn′t know my name
I don′t say grace at the table, Mum thinkin' I changed
Been the same since primary school, rollin′ on them
BMXs, we were ridin', fool, thinkin′ that it might be cool
To play some Dr Dre today, I would sit inside and pull
Four-hour shifts tryna learn this shit, now we

Transmittin' live (Live), feel the vibe
You can either ride (Ride) or collide
We won′t be denied (–nied), go tell a friend
Go tell a friend, we goin' in
Transmittin' live (Live), feel the vibe
You can either ride (Ride) or collide
We won′t be denied (–nied), go tell a friend
Go tell your friends, we goin′ in
Transmittin' live


My melody up in hi fidelity, don′t give a fuck
What they tellin' me, catch a felony, for real
They tryna mute my voice but can′t monopolise the airwaves
Now there's a choice so let me hoist some of these
Issues on my shoulders, nights are gettin′ colder
Different war, different soldier, none of us can get a mortgage
Only thing that they're reportin' is some E channel flames
All the music they′re recordin′ sounds like people can't sing
And an athlete can′t swing without a PD allegation
My boy just got denied on more than three applications
New degree, congratulations, gettin' accusations
WINZ tryna cut him off, say he ain′t on a hunt for jobs
It's like, fuck it, dawg, didn′t sign up for this
Had to grab this mic and end box and try some other shit
Me and my production clique tick that off the bucket list
Years later, look at what we comin' with, now we

Transmittin' live (Live), feel the vibe
You can either ride (Ride) or collide
We won′t be denied (–nied), go tell a friend
Go tell a friend, we goin′ in
Transmittin' live (Live), feel the vibe
You can either ride (Ride) or collide
We won′t be denied (–nied), go tell a friend
Go tell your friends, we goin' in
Transmittin′ live (Live, live, live)
