Hilltop Hoods - Shredding The Balloon Lyrics

Thanks Hilltop Hoop for representing the Grand lodge of SA

I remember learning the lyrics to this in 2012 at TAFE in my landscape class. At the time nobody could touch this. And few could since then. An American in Australia, duel citizenship. I am so proud of both our underground's

Boys... where have you gone?! We miss you!!!!!!

Siiik song 😍😍😍😍😍

When you listen to the hoods you just sing along with the music but. The deeper you listen the more morals there are

Where the Fuck the OG fans at!!

2019 throwback 🤙 there was so much speculation with what was going on with these boys before that album dropped. Such a powerful track from Suffa, wish I could do what he did.

Fuck me this song hits hard when you watch the video as well. True shit fucking addictions

why the hell would you do this amazing song on the masons cherboard floor......... boys....please

"Id rather be part of your playlist." You have for 15 years

I know this is about Suffas sobriety but Thumbs up if you've ever unfortunately loved a poison girl like this one shown in the clip.

You thought you could give em the flick ,no hard feelings ✝️🚹

Suffa always does epic solo stuff. His production is always on point.

“I’d rather be part of your playlist.
Then ever be part of the A-list.”

Deep shit right there.

Saw an ad in the middle of this song. Disgrace to hilltop hoods. Pure blasphemy

this is rap up there with em tupac n fiddy. so eat that real Aussie rap

Adelaide stand up!!! 🍺😎✌👑

"You can do anything you set your mind to man."

along with a$50000 dollar studio bought by suffers dad when he was 19 absolutely!!!!!!!

how do i get that zoo york jacket tho

Suffa what was going on when you wrote this song? Dont expect you to reply but wish you would. Just saw you at Brisbane Riverstage. I was far right tall dude standing with my beautiful gal of twenty years with an old school Adidas bomber jacket on and a beard on my face. This song speaks to me and i just wanted to know where your life or head was at when you wrote this❤

brings back memories

I loved a girl like this with the same fate still fooking hurts I miss her.

"I'd rather be part of your playlist" - done

good song

fucking can't wait till Nov 19th, so glad you guys are making to the states for a show

this is true aussie music shit boi

i love this

I am nearly 40 years old. I grew up with bands like pearl jam, Alice in chains, and all of the settle sound. I listen to a lot of older music like Joe cocker, pink Floyd etc. My apprentice left an album of the Hilltop hoods at my place and I had a listen..... All I can say is.. Wow! I know good music when I hear it. Awesome

Best HTH song - passion baby.

This is hands down their best song they've written! Such a beauty to listen to then and now 😎😎😎

2019 anyone? 1k 👌❤️

Nah man I’m 3050

Hilltop needs to come to the east coast USA be in listening to them since 04

A beautiful song beautiful poetry

Respect from Naples

lots of love from germany
this song is a masterpiece
This is a ridiculously powerful song...

Shyiieaaa... It's like a shaam baerr on your nec-k and an accid trip too, and a dusty rec-ord. Thus, there it is, real hip-hop..

Has it really been 7 years... Damn....I was just in my bed eating pizza rolls blowing off homework watching bmx videos and other unrelated shit when they became my favorite group

Hilltop hoods is the only good thing my ex gave me. Thank you.

Get back to this guys!
Killing it!
Still pumping my playlist

That’s gotta be hindley street aha

Good on ya Nick Lambert. That guitar is fucking nice man.

This masterpiece is so underrated. ❤❤

Wow, i‘m happy i remembered your name. Need to buy your sound to support you guys!

Still rocking my playlist 😉👌

Instant goose bumps

Like we always do about this time, ink lines for the sick rhyme inclined,
It’s grimy shit but naught that can’t be fixed with a little bit of spitshine,
Big time like Frankie in Vegas, inspiring like Ali and Frazier,
Spit it out till we spilling out on to the street start a party up with our neighbours,
I’d rather be part of your playlist, than ever be part of the A-list,
Harness the energy, heart of a pedigree with the scars of a sadist,
I go so hard on the pavement; I go so far with my statements,
That I don’t know where they end and where I start it’s all part of game it’s,
The farthest I’ve came since I started to play it,
I spar with these artists, the heartless and brainless,
We’re harnessed by chains that are hard to escape and you change then they label us bastards or traitors,
They’re charlatans, they’re haters, they start on us but they’re fake as,
Our parliament, but don’t be disheartened by them pardon their failures,
If we don’t forgive our enemies, we’ll crawl the walls like centipedes,
Burn our energy like fossil fuels and fuel our own damn effigy,
And we’ll all burn like Hennessey, so keep on then and step with me,
John Lennon let it be, dead the beef like abattoirs, before these scavengers tear at me

[Chorus:]
I’ve been waiting to come back,
Like where the hell is the show?
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
Getting ready to blow,
I’ve been waiting to come back,
Like where the hell is the show?
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
Getting ready to blow

[Verse 2: Suffa]
And it might blow up but it won’t go pop,
And it might blow up but it won’t burst,
She said she might grow old but she won’t grow up,
Well she might, but only if I go first,
She wears her heart on her sleeve like; she’s wearing a patch on her shoulder,
It’s not a matter of whether I can catch her, more a matter of whether I can hold her,
She thinks out loud she’s got me; she laughs with her whole body,
I think about how she got it all figured out and wonder why she’d even want me?
Each night I find it’s the same ole, when I crawl inside in the evening,
I lie down next to an angel; fall asleep and fly with my demons,
They say don’t live in the past and live each day like it was your last but,
I’d rather live each moment like it was my first, take it slow and sip from the glass,
Savour the moment, spit vicious bars then pray for opponents,
Sounds so serious don’t it? But I’m not concerned with a thing,
This is book three, Tolkien, Return of the King,
The kings have arrived; we drink from the sky,
We fall from all ‘cause we think we can fly,
But our wings have been tied, and the winging and lies,
Have me I’m wishing that I could bridge the divide,
You living the life? In the blink of an eye
The shine of the bling and the rims that you ride,
Can all disappear so live for the rhyme,
Not material things your gift can provide

[Chorus:]
I’ve been waiting to come back,
Like where the hell is the show?
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
We’re getting ready to blow,
I’ve been waiting to come back,
Like where the hell is the show?
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
I’m getting ready right now I’m getting ready

[Verse 3: Suffa]
Since ‘State of the Art’ we’ve stayed in the yard just waiting to start this shit all over,
Laying in bars for a day and a half, had to switch from gin to soda,
And by like mid October, record was six months over,
Due, and I‘m like dude what you expect? I’m only three months sober,
Coming up turning tree trunks over, running up burning divas, posers,
Run amok till the sun is up or till one of us # live la vidaloca,
I’m going ta roll until I fold, like I got a hold of Propafol,
So beautiful to know you all but for now peace I’m over and out

cunts fucked😬

Wow I this is better than Qwel 'where i go, there i go'.

We may forgive our enemies but cunts ain't forgiving you. You guys are fucking sick.

👌you guys get better and better with every song, your videos tell stories every time pure quality keep em coming

One of my all time favourites..still get goosebumps..doesnt get old even in twenty19 👏👊

a lot of love here from Norway, your songs are traditionally best instead for the fake hiphop who is just singing about irrelevant stuff

As a duel Aus/US citizen this song has perpetually impressed me. Fuck, I don’t even have have the words to express my appreciation for it. I have struggled with addiction since I was 12 years old. 23 now and this is still overdue. I have lost so much from my drinking, I feel you Pressure, it screams at my soul. If you can do it so can I.
I will fight. And conquer my illness. Here I come you bastard.

Now that ruined a perfect dinner

I am from Melbourne Australia and I can say you are my favourite band my percents and bro have seen you concert and I was to young but they said if you co e back they will take me I home so ❤️

This song holds a place in my heart forever

She laughs with her whole body

One of the greatest songs ever imo I remember the exact day this was released fuck

2019 👁️

oh, mine is uncut too :)

Aussie Aussie Aussie...

Jammed this song with my brother so much after we lost our dad.. Still brings back chills it's almost been 4 years where the fuck did the time go 💔

this is my jam

If you wanna know what it feels like to have an attempted overwrite done on your brain-pan... It's like your neurons are being stimulated remotely, with a barbed dick of a cattle prod.

This is by far my favourite hilltop hoods song

fall in love everytime i listen to this

Suffa should have an accolade as best producer in Australia bar none.

Inspired track

only in good old straya!!!!

Live for the rhyme not materials things your gift can provide !!!

fhh %&:66,£€÷π°

Marshall Mathers eat your fucking heart out!

Brilliant song. Ive never been big on hiphop but this is exceptional. Like yella wolfs 'till its gone', its the use of acoustic guitars that strikes a cord in me i think. Love it.

"The shine of the bling and the rims that you ride can all disappear so live for the rhyme, not material things your gifts can provide. "

What sets HTH apart from the rest in my opinion is that you can tell they love the music and to them that's what they live for, not the money or the fame, and there is an important lesson in that.

Much love, my favorite hip hop artists hands down.

awesome accoustic version of this track .. HH best tune although Fifty in 5 a close second
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UORVJ_q4iNc

👊🏾✊🏾 keep coming back to this. Cos it’s proppa proppa ..big up HTH

Shreddin'!!!

Deserves more likes.

My favorite. Not too Keen on the Freemason temple as the set tho.

This makes me want to gym like an animal, or drink like an animal. Can't decide.

The shine of the bling of the the rims that ya ride can all disappear so live for the rhyme not material things your gift can provide!!!

This video is powerful. I'm in recovery and can totally relate.

I wonder if Suffa is still sober

mad love for these guys xx
