Continuing on the Australian theme, it's interesting how some Aussies have a philo-American streak so strong that they feel they were simply born in the wrong place. So, they come to the States.
Iggy Azalea comes from Mullumbimby, New South Wales, but wanted to rap with serious people so bad she came to Miami, alone, at sixteen, and spent five years learning her craft in the South:
The lyrics hark back to Australia:
Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt
Sugar cane, back lanes
Three jobs, took years to save
But I got a ticket on that plane
People got a lot to say
But don't know shit about where I was made
Or how many floors that I had to scrub
Just to make it past where I am from
