Where the Trouble Began by MC Pooja Lyrics
[Part I]
[Verse 1]
Back with a track and back on the road
Let’s not keep you waiting, let’s go
The water’s never had a better flow
Because I’m back and I’m older as we know
It is safe to say I’m a citizen
Making these songs, I have missed it
Now I’m back with my sound like this
From Floor Three, I did a mad switch
All of the normal people falling
Hit the floor so hard they’re back in time crawling
Mauling, this is appalling
The ball’s in my court, who is Jordan?
Extending because I have plenty
Being the leader, how I was meant to be
And now I have to cross the uneven sea
I will do this well and you will see
[Verse 2]
It is true to say that I’m falling
The system has started to ignore me
Because I’m on here doing more than
These strangers, I back up my friends
And now they’re seeing some dead ends
I guess they weren’t really your friends
Now you’re falling just like I have been
They saw you and put you in the bin
No-one cares what you think anymore
Before you do madness, please close the door
I don’t wanna see what you’re doing in your room
Because what you’re doing in there is not good
I know people from school to the shops
Get in the school and get my bike locked
Cycling, kicking up rocks
If you get interrogated, hit block
[Verse 3]
Now I can’t really have much fun
Because they’re destroying the country they run
And soon they’ll do a blackout on the sun
Last year wasn’t without a bad month
Cutting up beats like cutting up grass
Back in the past, used to drink from flasks
Now just put the white flag on the mast
With our hands up, victory’s not ours
It is theirs and soon we will fall
Breaking halls in the collapsing mall
You’re not an ice block, you’re never cool
Please stop directing me your calls
Floating on rivers with my own boat
Making a boat out of red bank notes
Do you ever feel invisible like a cloak?
I don’t ‘cause I’m surrounded like a moat
[Verse 4]
Walking down hills, not crushing up pills
I don’t do that ‘cause I actually wanna feel
‘Cause life goes around just like a wheel
Back in my life, I’ve had the best meals
I don’t really care about the hourglass
Because I know I never finish last
My life’s speeding, moving up fast
Covering up expressions with a mask
Life from London, life up to here
Taking trips but I’m always near
To the capital that is now feared
It’s not that bad, listen with your ears
The collective government have no lungs
They’re on the news, what have they done?
Anyway, down the road there’s more fun
And now it’s the end of part one
[Part II]
[Verse 5]
I feel like I’ve always been on standby
Everything I’ve said isn’t a lie
I’ve put my own name on, these songs are mine
I’m in front, get to the back of the line
Hardly anything’s needed an edit
Because what I have said, I’ve meant it
Although, maybe it was all never meant
If that’s the case, I should’ve just went
Who out here is the party type?
I am not, even if it’s slight
Sometimes I look back in hindsight
Thinking about following the lights
(Who is the fallen?) the fallen is us
Sometimes thoughts can turn into dust
If they get left there, they’ll rust
Keep guard of those thoughts, you must
[Chorus]
Thought about this and I’ve thought about that
This is a new year, a new track
Sky is black and I’m walking back
To my house which is near flats
Now we’ve all been left here
Their decisions are now clear
To keep us falling for years
They’re keeping people in fear
[Verse 6]
Pushing us around like we’re nothing
Right now, you’re not very loving
Starting the uprising, are you coming?
The resistance has never been funny
Until now, I have laughed
They’re keeping our heads in baths
We can’t keep thoughts in the past
We must do what we can to move fast
Keeping us confined inside the cells
They look back and they’re like ‘oh well’
The people can’t even reach for the bell
Quite a while ago they fell
Let’s get to the topic of discussion
This country has got a concussion
What things have you been discussing?
All of you shouldn’t be fussing
[Chorus]
Thought about this and I’ve thought about that
This is a new year, a new track
Sky is black and I’m walking back
To my house which is near flats
Now we’ve all been left here
Their decisions are now clear
To keep us falling for years
They’re keeping people in fear
[Verse 7]
You don’t need to remind me again
The people that do that are friends
Whenever there’s a hand to lend
In their case, there are no false ends
Seeing over cities like a crane
Just see people driving down lanes
Look up in the sky, there are some planes
Look down on the tracks, there is a train
Motorway, we’re moving and going
To the city where the Thames is flowing
To the city where the flowers are growing
In the city, it’s all been showing
This is similar to later tunes
Down in the track list, your head will move
I don’t know if I’ll ever lose
But I don’t wanna sound too rude
[Chorus]
Thought about this and I’ve thought about that
This is a new year, a new track
Sky is black and I’m walking back
To my house which is near flats
Now we’ve all been left here
Their decisions are now clear
To keep us falling for years
They’re keeping people in fear
[Verse 8]
When you arrive here, do not be late
Don’t be late when you come to my place
You will keep me waiting all day
And then my time will just decay
Serving up plates with a side of hate
Love or hate, which one is great?
It all depends on your face
If it reacts this way or that way
I don’t think we ever wanna be alone
Although, this is the town that I roam
I roam this town always with my phone
Keep your head down, keep it down low
In this life, I’ll always need pounds
Getting around here, town to town
In the future, we should never frown
‘Cause nothing really gets us down
[Chorus]
Thought about this and I’ve thought about that
This is a new year, a new track
Sky is black and I’m walking back
To my house which is near flats
Now we’ve all been left here
Their decisions are now clear
To keep us falling for years
They’re keeping people in fear
[Verse 1]
