Homegrown by MC Pooja Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don’t let the past sink through like a black hole
I’m really right here, domination is the goal
History is long just like a flagpole
Hear a beat as smooth as this, you know I must roll
If I want money then I want the money in whole
Wanting money like you gotta pay me like I’m a toll
Don’t mind all the things on Twitter ‘cause I just scroll
Lesson to lesson, moving corridors and I stroll
Don’t even try, you can’t knock down the wall
Floor Three came like the coming of rainfall
Who likes getting curved like kicking a ball?
Extending these songs, these songs don’t come small
Looking at my phone, it’s the college that’s called
Head to the college and I’m inside a big hall
The hall is big like a cathedral
Can’t go back now, I cannot withdrawal
Making longer songs like a canal
Listen to the Pooja songs, you shall
Not old enough to make a PayPal
But I don’t need PayPal to boost morale
Farming the crops, I’m using a hoe
It seems like Floor Three focuses on sorrow
All of those old flows got blown
Now I’m on track with a new flow
Asking me where it is, let’s just go
Although I’ve been really needing ammo
I don’t even need to ask or borrow
I’ll just take it and I’ll have it on the low
While I’m in school writing words on the page
I’m thinking, I’m still in the teen age
Although it’s the beats that I’ve made that make waves
I don’t know if I will ever get up on that stage
[Chorus]
Now I know what’s happening right here
The plan isn’t good enough, it’s not clear
Water spilling like education is a weir
Don’t need to analyse my rhymes like Shakespeare
Down in the south of England where I was grown
I’m homegrown but I wasn’t born at home
I understand, reflective like chrome
I’ve got a hard head, concrete like a dome
[Verse 2]
Being in school, just do some work, go and learn
Later in life, it will be money that you’ll earn
We don’t wanna waste time, time won’t burn
You not working is a cause for concern
Underperformed in year 7, did a u-turn
Little by little, earn rewards that grow like ferns
You cannot steal that, you must now return
Get out the room, it’s the court that is adjourned
Nice slow beat, take it down like it’s ‘The OOZ’
I’m sat here waiting for some more bad news
Quite lately the skies have been looking blue
Twisting ‘round this beat like I was born a screw
Come to me now, you don’t have a clue
You say he did it but I ask who
You don’t answer, now I am amused
I laugh so much, I become accused
Maybe I should go and catch a train
But I can’t catch a train, neither a plane
Now I’m in house base, I will have to explain
Explaining, all my energy went down the drain
Me and my friends linking stories like chains
Then they tell me I should never do that again
Now I think carefully while walking down the lane
In my mind, there is a little campaign
Do I care what content is in my songs?
Of course I do, that would just be wrong
If I didn’t think hard and long
About what would enter the song and if it’s strong
I feel as if Floor Three is better
Because I came up stronger and clever
Now all I have to do is enter the nether
Got all my armour, I did a check-up
[Chorus]
Now I know what’s happening right here
The plan isn’t good enough, it’s not clear
Water spilling like education is a weir
Don’t need to analyse my rhymes like Shakespeare
Down in the south of England where I was grown
I’m homegrown but I wasn’t born at home
I understand, reflective like chrome
I’ve got a hard head, concrete like a dome
Don’t let the past sink through like a black hole
I’m really right here, domination is the goal
History is long just like a flagpole
Hear a beat as smooth as this, you know I must roll
