Motherland

(альбом: SOUND DRIFT - 2023)

Yuh, MG
Yuh, Blame

From the slums, now I got diamonds yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got all my 1Z beside me, we riding yeah, yeah
Bitch I'm revving the coup', revving the coup', repping the couv'
Yeah I paid my dues, I paid my dues

My pops trusted me, I filled those shoes
I'm the breadwinner for these cold winters
Stepped on the playground it's all business (it's all business)
I get the deal done, I get it finished
Young brown boy from the mud
Had to leave my cousins and my aunts and my grandmama
Two decades later I come back doing concerts
While two decades later my older still looking for a sponsor
Tryna get out, tryna get out
All I really ever wanted to do was make em' proud

From the slums, now I got diamonds yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got all my 1Z beside me, we riding yeah, yeah
Bitch I'm revving the coup', revving the coup', repping the couv'
Yeah I paid my dues, I paid my dues
Do or die, I had to choose
Made my move, I made my move

This that shit I've been meaning to talk about
But I haven't found the words to put respect on it

Learned a lot from childhood when I was five
I was gambling with my aunties, counting dimes
Taking chances instilled in me, it's still in me
They can't take away the soul in me, the real in me, it's still in me
I can't ever change that, grew up I came back
From where I came from, love where we came from
No we can't escape that, the slums I pay back that's where the root from
Yeah I wanna pay you back in full
Yeah I wanna pay you back in full
Yeah I wanna pay you back in full

Blessings on blessings, but this life feel like a test
And there's days you feeling stressed, and there's days you can't finesse
And there's nights you get no rest, many more nights you lost the bet
But these times you can't forget, this the come up at it's best, yeah

From the slums, now I got diamonds yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got all my 1Z beside me, we riding yeah, yeah
(You see how we riding now motherfucker)
Bitch I'm revvin the coup', revving the coup', repping the couv'
Bitch I'm revving the coup', revving the coup', repping the couv'
