The Who - Motherland Lyrics
Official




Haven't been in like a decade need a trip back to the motherland
Been up in the mountains so I'm sure my people understand
Everything I do it's for my mum and dad
For every pound I make you know I give my family some of that
See my brothers struggling tryna get the upper hand
Reminisce about the things we did to try and touch a grand
Thinking should I fast this year when it gets to Ramadan?
Cos I need to find God bro insha'Allah
But still you know I got green like Amsterdam
Orange in my trees like orangutans
Back a day I thought that I had a plan
But then it came crashing down like a avalanche
I need a flight out to Thailand or Vietnam
Through the 2000s for my holidays we'd drive to France
Sunshine just the fam I wasn't tryna catch a tan
I was doing kickups with my bro outside the caravan
Younger me just knew how to grind never had a gram
Tryna do my own thing like a Catalan
You man are too busy debating who's the badder man
You got it all mixed up like a anagram
My brother got the pengest brown flown in from Pakistan
My other bro got locked for magic he should be in Azkaban
I guess that's just how life goes at least you're not another man
This guy I knew got flown to wife his cousin in Afghanistan
I pour a drink for the forgotten
Never knew a promise even though that he was honest
Either trapping or they robbing yeah he sees these things a lot
His brother got shot then his other brother got shotting
Have you ever had a dream?
Have you ever had it broken cos of shit you couldn't see?
I was brought up well so I was innocent at 10
But I was turned into a man before I turned 13
They're saying "If you don't get money stay quiet"
Then out here rocking fake garms I don't buy it
They keep talking but I'm getting so tired
Same man are singing in the station like a choir
Cold heart but I came from the fire
Yeah I'm tryna fly planez Jeremih
All I want for Christmas is Mariah
Like 20 years younger bigger back clean attire
Can't lie I wasn't raised in the bits
But I chilled there most of my teenage years
Training as a lifeguard taught me never to quit
First day of Year 7 taught me never to fear
Cos the day you're giving up you could be swimming with fish
And being scared will get you hit in the ear
So don't quit just punch and kick
You might bleed but one day you'll be clear
