Ayo it’s governor gavin
And the trouble i’m having
Is i can’t stop speaking like i’m english
See i grew up in melbourne, lived here every day
Not once have i ever been to the uk
Me folks are 3rd gen aussies so it’s not genetics
And both of ‘em say my accent’s pathetic
Coz they hate the way that i talk like this
Started out as a joke, i was taking the piss
Having a laff with the lads, just for a minute
After that i couldn’t stop, now it’s a problem innit
Coz that’s the time
I started listening to grime
And just like stormzy everyone would tell me to, shut up!
It makes it real hard to have discussions
On top of that there’s further repercussions
Lost me job coz me boss was from tottenham
I tried to speak normal the words i couldn’t stop dem
Sounding like scotty t
I’ve got to be freed from the cockney
But f#ok me every time i speak i feel like skep and jme
Coz nah that’s not me
I’m not you tricky, see i don’t want another gram
I just wanna stop paying homage to the motherland
Speech pathology classes i dun dem
Still everybody tells me you sound like you’re from london
And my parents think that i’m disturbed
Because i get so much pleasure for pronouncing words
With the alliteration of a different nation
They had enough, they said gav you’re off to rehabillytation
And when you get back
You better sound like you’ve spent 5 weeks at outback jack’s
But i’ve already been here for three weeks
And this is still how i speak
f#ok
