[Intro] Skies look green But the sun’s still out You can smell that smoke Hear the crew all shout [Verse 1] Got the grill in the garden Coal black, flames grin wide You lot roll through laughin’ I’m already charred inside Apron on like armour Tongs swing side to side Call me backyard hero Cape made of greasy pride Sausage sizzle, fat drip Hear that splatter sing Every pop like thunder Crowns me backyard king You bite once, eyes glaze Yeah, that’s the secret rub You ask what’s in the marinade I just grin and shrug [Chorus] Welcome to the BBQ in the pit Eat up, drink up, don’t quit If the smoke gets thick, just sit You’re safe with me (you’re safe with me) Welcome to the BBQ in the pit Once you taste, that’s it Heroes fall in every bite I split You’re safe with me (you’re safe with—) [Verse 2] Char on your fingers Sauce on your chin You say, “Bruv, this hits different” I say, “Let it sink in” I was born in the ashes Mum said I burned too bright Now I season my madness Turn it into a night You dress like comic panels Think you can never die But your heartbeat taps in triplets When you clock my eye That “mask” on the meat Same shape as your jaw When the bassline starts bouncin’ You forget what you saw [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Count your mates One by one Can you name Where they’ve gone? You just chew And laugh along ’Cause the bass hits hard And the night feels wrong [low vocal register, spoken] I’m the neighbourhood saviour Kept you fed for years Every legend needs a secret Every feast needs fears [Chorus]
