about

Recorded in 2014 for the Great Memes album.

lyrics

The third-largest city in 'Straya
Built just for a playa' like me
Population of 1.8 million
Where 21 percent are born overseas
And 60 percent are bilingual (geez)

With an average daily temperature of 75 fahrenheit
Which is about 23 degrees, right?
I don't know why Wikipedia don't run on metrics
But that's chilled & my rappin' is hectic

What do you know? (What do you know)
What do you know about Brisbane?
It's good to be educated.
The more you know (The more you know)
The more you know about the place
That inspires you, inquires you, aspires you
Everyday.

It's the capital of Queensland, so why you gotta hate?
The oldest building's built in 1828
An annual rainfall of a thousand mL's
In a sub-tropic climate, I do it for the thrills

And though the artificial beach at Southbank's full of kid's pee
You won't see that stopping me
Cause' when I think about the swag the Brisbane has got
GG, Mitchy's out, full stop.

What do you know? (What do you know)
What do you know about Brisbane?
It's good to be educated.
The more you know (The more you know)
The more you know about the place
That inspires you, inquires you, aspires you
Everyday of your life

What do you know? (What do you know)
What do you know about Brisbane?
It's good to be educated.
The more you know (The more you know)
The more you know about the place
That inspires you, inquires you, aspires you, admires you
(What I'm really tryna' say is...)
Desires you, requires you, retires you, expires you
(Don't be so uncultured!)
Perspires you, deep fries you, flat tires you
No know? No no.
What do you know about Brisbane?
