Yeah Yo // H.O.B. II (interlude) Lyrics
[Intro: Hau]
Yes, yes sir, yes sir
One, two, two, two
Hey
[?]
Haha
[Verse 1: Hau, Suffa]
Hm, even though a few years have passed
Is it weird I still expect to hear ya laugh?
All the beers and glasses of vodka we shared
Is making my drinks these days bleed red
So of course I pour out some
And dedicate the spirit of this album
To the memories and legacy you left here
And the energy you're sending me is like fresh air
Inhale, I still express
Thoughts when the pen fails, I’m tryna
Face the day, not tryna face the ceiling
‘Cause, my man, Suff' told me, “You better chase that feeling, Hau”
[Chorus: Hau]
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the bottom of your soul
(Yeah, yo) Let ‘em know 'fore you drop ‘em in the hole
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the pit of your stomach
(Yeah, yo) Live your life before you’re taken from it
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
Yes, yes sir, yes sir
One, two, two, two
Hey
[?]
Haha
[Verse 1: Hau, Suffa]
Hm, even though a few years have passed
Is it weird I still expect to hear ya laugh?
All the beers and glasses of vodka we shared
Is making my drinks these days bleed red
So of course I pour out some
And dedicate the spirit of this album
To the memories and legacy you left here
And the energy you're sending me is like fresh air
Inhale, I still express
Thoughts when the pen fails, I’m tryna
Face the day, not tryna face the ceiling
‘Cause, my man, Suff' told me, “You better chase that feeling, Hau”
[Chorus: Hau]
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the bottom of your soul
(Yeah, yo) Let ‘em know 'fore you drop ‘em in the hole
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the pit of your stomach
(Yeah, yo) Live your life before you’re taken from it
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
[Verse 2: Hau]
I may have lost my religion but I'll never lose faith
I'm in a new space, can't let the truth wait
May have lost my grandfather, but I'll never lose his presence
I feel his love breathe through every sentence
I am aware how I came off, but shit
I'm cut from the same cloth made of legends
I, I am a daddy on a mission
Brother [?] myself trying to carry on tradition
Listen to the whispers of my forefathers kickin'
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat, huh
Now what you hear is not a test
You're now rocking with the best beyond bone and flesh
[Chorus: Hau]
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the bottom of your soul
(Yeah, yo) Let ‘em know ’fore you drop ‘em in the hole
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the pit of your stomach
(Yeah, yo) Live your life before you’re taken from it
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
[Post-Chorus: Jade MacRae, Hau]
Say, why is it so
Hard to grow
Amongst the highs
And amongst the lows
Amongst the friends, and
Amongst the foes (Miss you, gramps)
[?] (Haha, yeah)
I'm in control (I’m in control)
I may have lost my religion but I'll never lose faith
I'm in a new space, can't let the truth wait
May have lost my grandfather, but I'll never lose his presence
I feel his love breathe through every sentence
I am aware how I came off, but shit
I'm cut from the same cloth made of legends
I, I am a daddy on a mission
Brother [?] myself trying to carry on tradition
Listen to the whispers of my forefathers kickin'
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat, huh
Now what you hear is not a test
You're now rocking with the best beyond bone and flesh
[Chorus: Hau]
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the bottom of your soul
(Yeah, yo) Let ‘em know ’fore you drop ‘em in the hole
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the pit of your stomach
(Yeah, yo) Live your life before you’re taken from it
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
[Post-Chorus: Jade MacRae, Hau]
Say, why is it so
Hard to grow
Amongst the highs
And amongst the lows
Amongst the friends, and
Amongst the foes (Miss you, gramps)
[?] (Haha, yeah)
I'm in control (I’m in control)
[Verse 3: Hau]
To [?], bless your life
To my brotherman, Trav, bless your life
To my boy Hunter, you can now rest your eyes
And hopefully find the answer to the question why
I testify, long live what the song gives
And may you find strength stronger than King Kong is
Every line of every rhyme is a homage
‘Cause every time I pen a rhyme it's genuine and honest
Yeah, and upon this chair, stop and think
Oh, I can make you proud with every drop of ink
Here goes, open up your chest, breathe in
Let the fresh air flow, it makes me wanna holla
It makes me wanna holla
[Chorus: Hau]
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the bottom of your soul
(Yeah, yo) Let ‘em know 'fore you drop ‘em in the hole
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the pit of your stomach
(Yeah, yo) Live your life before you're taken from it
(Yeah, yo) Draw a breath and mourn the death
And celebrate the life then do it all again
[Outro: Sample]
Yo, yo

To [?], bless your life
To my brotherman, Trav, bless your life
To my boy Hunter, you can now rest your eyes
And hopefully find the answer to the question why
I testify, long live what the song gives
And may you find strength stronger than King Kong is
Every line of every rhyme is a homage
‘Cause every time I pen a rhyme it's genuine and honest
Yeah, and upon this chair, stop and think
Oh, I can make you proud with every drop of ink
Here goes, open up your chest, breathe in
Let the fresh air flow, it makes me wanna holla
It makes me wanna holla
[Chorus: Hau]
(Yeah, yo) Let it out from the bottom of your soul
(Yeah, yo) Let ‘em know 'fore you drop ‘em in the hole

What did Hau say about "Yeah Yo // H.O.B. II (interlude)"?
Genius Answer
Yeah Yo:
I’ve always wanted to sample the “yeah yo!” by Fallacy on Roots Manuva’s Sword in the Dirt. it just sounded so ill. So this track was pretty much tailored to the vocal sample. Big up the lovely Jade MacRae for her vocal stylings and to the boy, Suffa, for adding that sumthin' sumthin' extra.
H.O.B. II (interlude):
A musical intermission with Sensible J on the drums, keys and bass as he does throughout a lot of this album. A very talented dude.
