"The Story of Ol' Mate"
2/22
Jaylow the Absurd Kid

This is a tongue in cheek remake (working pretty much line-by-line) of Jay-Z's 4:44 "The story of OJ". Using Richie Benaud's famous Phrase "2 for 22" as the launching pad for a collection of Cricket memories
Beat by DJ Beyond Reason youtu.be/gZfcP-wQ3N4

lyrics

night cricket, wet wicket, big ticket, big hitter
test cricket, round the wicket, leg spinner, white pickets,
This is Cricket, this is cricket

white skivy, dive wickey, Ian Healy, Dennis Lilly
Shane-flipper, team skipper, Simon Stifler, caught a ripper
it's cricket, it's cricket

Gouldman like "I don't like cricket, i love it"
I’m like…
...Illy done that

Stinking Aussie summers feature crap TV
cricket saved the day 5 days of the week
the Windies and the Kiwis finding gold in baggy greens
now IPL & BBL's like family MTV
Tell Ponting: please don't die without a helmet on
cause you're sweatin'
take in on the chin, keep calm and carry on
like a champion

In my day Richie and Bill called the Sessions
Healy and Waugh followed suit in succession

Boonie sunk 2 cartons on a plane on the way to claim the ashes,
he ain’t the Don.
McGrath faked an underarm like Chappel but said “nah...”,
He’s one smart pigeon

Ian Chappel, Greg Chappel Sunil Gavaskar, McGrath,
Michael Slater, Mark Taylor, Phil Tuffnell, , Glenn Mitchel,
Talk Cricket, still cricket

Waqar Younis, Shaun Pollock, Shane Warne, Mark Waugh
Tony Grieg, Ian Healy, Bill Lawrie, Richie Benaud
it's cricket, it's cricket

you wanna know what's worse than throwing a game or some runs for money? chucking
worse is prejudiced umpires at the crease with a bowler in their cross hair and not square leg to stand on: stunning!


shots fired.
this cricket rap is gettin tired
Spend time in the members knocking back some
Where contacts & handshake contracts are won
Next year they'll in your box inebriated
enjoyin' the game exactly how it was created

y'all thinkin' I'm just schmoozing and I'm like, it's fine
I'm signing new clients at an event with no drinks line!

a bat to pad c an easy turn a dot to L.B.
reverse sweep it to the boundary for 4 or maybe 3
drive through the covers to switch who's facing
or a boundary on the last ball is the same thing

Batsmen gettin edgy at dusk, but never fear
If a wicket falls the night watchmen will appear

Night cricket day cricket, no cricket, rain quit it.
Wet wicket, dry wicket, test cricket, beach cricket
it's all cricket, It's all cricket

white skivy, dive wickey, Ian Healy, Dennis lilly
Shane flipper, team skipper, Simon Stifler, cought a ripper

it's cricket, it's cricket
Drinks Break
