I’ll Turn My Back on You by MC Pooja Lyrics
[Part I]
[Verse 1]
I don’t need friends if I am on my own
Developing the armour, strengthening the bones
Moving so fast, I can walk over coal
I moan, ‘cause you know, I don’t need a loan
Moving alone, not using a boat
Fortifying the heart, get a moat
Rocking so hard, the boat might not float
Keeping my life very warm with a coat
Getting down there, moving along the street
I went against someone that was very weak
He wasn’t strong, call that weak meat
He had no friends, where was his fleet?
Jeez, this guy’s weak in his genes
No denim but I’m cutting through the seams
All of the people listening know what I mean
When I say that Arriva guy got beat
He’s a bus man, I know he’s got no plans
Damn, with my hands, I’ll beat the strongest man
He thinks I can’t beat him, well yes I can
Pooja is the strongest don in the land
Moving true, cutting through, breaking through the blue
Getting down, weather’s changing like the moods
And I know that everyone loves the stuff that is lewd
For now, I cannot approve that, please just move
You asked why I’m here, I’m here to crunch your spirits
Your aspirations, your dreams, just don’t go near ‘em
I have taken them, you won’t get ‘em back for lent
All of your spirits (I just know) were never meant
Thinking of bars in the park while on a swing
You want some pics, then click on the link
Throwing your money right down into the sink
Would you actually pay for pics, stop and think
Turning my back on you
(Who are you?) I don’t know but I am always true
Food, thinking ‘bout stuff while in the mood
I should do my work (yeah you should)
Turning your back on me
(Who are they?) I don’t know but they aren’t here to stay
Moving around, doing mad stuff everyday
I should do my work (nah, leave it to decay)
[Verse 2]
Now, what do you want to see?
Do you want to see me or see me leave?
‘Cause I can do both, the choice is free
I’m alright now, no need to help me breathe
In the air, I’m getting scared
Help me, before I get trapped in a lair
I’m always fair, but I’m never bare
Setting things straight, for me that’s not rare
What number do you see on the dash?
(I see three boy!) now, there’s no need to be brash
Say it nice and calm or I’ll get a rash
(Okay fine, there’s three on that dash)
Good, now don’t look
I’m putting in my password, don’t be a crook
Now don’t think you’re getting in here, read a book
Become a librarian or become a cook (I dunno why)
Those two options didn’t make sense
Just like your mum and dad one time in that bed (Ha)
I don’t wanna get girls, I need to make that bread
Some of ‘em are so deformed, they look like a British threat
Was that a diss? Maybe, I don’t know
But what I do know is some of ‘em swallow
What do they swallow? Water of course
I don’t wanna get banned right off the board
Boy, you’re on thin ice like an ice rink
“Come over here, give me all them drinks!”
Mink, you’re not looking so linked
Think, why do you wanna get rings?
I don’t care about meeting anyone (for now)
That chance will soon inflate like a lung
Fun, having fun, not involving mums
Damn, you like to imagine you being hung
[Part II]
[Chorus]
Don’t play with your brain at night, make sure that you’re keeping time
Keeping track of all the rhymes, welcome to follow these lights
Keeping time is important because you need to be marked
Be fluent, keep the time, the time you should not go past
Hit time with your best shot, get in the building, go to the block
Time is always as hard as rock and the time will not be mocked
Be on time to the lessons, then you will get no pressure
Press it just like a letter, every day do it better
[Verse 3]
I don’t think I need you now, all I need is a big plough
To plough away all these thoughts, I’m really opening doors
Big doors, moving away, make sure to see you again
Never saw you again, now I have no friend to lend
Stuff when I need them most, just hit me up, give me post
Postage and packaging, I don’t pay for beats, shout out Matmos
I am a producer and I’m moving down the west end
Today’s music needs some help so I’ll be there, a hand I’ll lend
[Chorus]
Don’t play with your brain at night, make sure that you’re keeping time
Keeping track of all the rhymes, welcome to follow these lights
Keeping time is important because you need to be marked
Be fluent, keep the time, the time you should not go past
Hit time with your best shot, get in the building, go to the block
Time is always as hard as rock and the time will not be mocked
Be on time to the lessons, then you will get no pressure
Press it just like a letter, every day do it better
[Verse 4]
Always moving mad on maps, shout out StateFarm, they back that
They back that ‘cause they are back to bring mayhem to these hacks
Keeping the crucial flow of time, don’t let it slip past your mind
I am not a gang member ‘cause I do not commit crimes
Switching to that drum ‘n’ bass, do you feel bass in this place?
Lace, keeping pace, moving past the race
In fact I’m winning the race, loving it, look at my face
Do not look bad to my face, or I’ll bring your face to a mace
[Chorus]
Don’t play with your brain at night, make sure that you’re keeping time
Keeping track of all the rhymes, welcome to follow these lights
Keeping time is important because you need to be marked
Be fluent, keep the time, the time you should not go past
Hit time with your best shot, get in the building, go to the block
Time is always as hard as rock and the time will not be mocked
Be on time to the lessons, then you will get no pressure
Press it just like a letter, every day do it better
[Verse 5]
I don’t need you, I’m not sorry (I bet that hit like a lorry)
Turning my back on people and there cannot be a sequel
Why would there be a sequel when I’ve said everything right here?
These guys trying to get me, but their shots were nowhere near
Don’t be bored, use a keyboard to type down all your thoughts
Put them on a web page and frame your thoughts right on a door
Locking doors, fall to the floor, moving mad, getting some more
You are not having fun, like a man without a lung
[Chorus]
Don’t play with your brain at night, make sure that you’re keeping time
Keeping track of all the rhymes, welcome to follow these lights
Keeping time is important because you need to be marked
Be fluent, keep the time, the time you should not go past
Hit time with your best shot, get in the building, go to the block
Time is always as hard as rock and the time will not be mocked
Be on time to the lessons, then you will get no pressure
Press it just like a letter, every day do it better
[Verse 6]
Always having lovely dinner and I am always a winner
I am always a winner ‘cause I don’t let problems linger
Call me the pint geezer but I’m never getting lager
Speaking on what I feel in life, yeah it’s getting darker
Paying me the cash right here, put it down right on the table
Giving me the bag, in there the money’s all
The money is all there, time to put it in the lair
Just stop and stare, a girl went past and played with her hair
[Outro]
Don’t play with your brain at night, make sure that you’re keeping time
Keeping track of all the rhymes, welcome to follow these lights
Keeping time is important because you need to be marked
Be fluent, keep the time, the time you should not go past
