Ay yeah
I chose my path, my mummy said, "You're on your own now"
Broken homes, we got no choice, I'm doing road now
Been a rockstar, built off crack, I'm rolling stones now
I just wish the love was the same up in my hometown (yeah)
Said it's eye for an eye (for an eye)
Keep your eyes on your own, I keep my eyes on mine
My Gs them ride (they ride), I put it all on my life (on my life, yeah)
Champagne sitting on ice, yeah (on ice, on ice, on ice)
I can't believe I'm living this life, yeah
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah) yo, yo
Certain man angles bent (strange)
Forty shots from a eighth of dark
I was tryna make sure that the fraction stretched
Bro said, "We're gonna have to plate this car
Cah the insurance link's been grabbed by feds" (pissed)
Plus the A-road route's too far
To try dodge the ANPR camera lens (skrrt)
Great western rail to Swindon
Ain't direct, I gotta get off at Chentenham spa
Times with no vehicle and the cats them calling
Pissed, had to tell them it's far
I use to bag the white crumbs as shots
'Til a man told me I could whip it back hard (whip, whip)
Limp mode in this Polo, stalling
I only had a two bill budget for cars (huh?)
(Man was fucking brass)
I never had no money for a train
Couldn't go football, mummy couldn't afford it (true)
Now I could put a hundred on a chain
But before that I need to invest in a mortgage (real shit)
A year and a half eating jail food
Cleaning, doing education courses (wah?)
None of that shit ever helped me
I never came home and worked on a forklift (lagga)
I chose my path, my mummy said, "You're on your own now"
Broken homes, we got no choice, I'm doing road now
Been a rockstar, built off crack, I'm rolling stones now
(Rolling stones no, no, no)
I just wish the love was the same up in my hometown (yeah)
Said it's eye for an eye (for an eye)
Keep your eyes on your own, I keep my eyes on mine
My Gs them ride (they ride), I put it all on my life (on my life, yeah)
Champagne sitting on ice, yeah (on ice, on ice, on ice)
I can't believe I'm living this life, yeah
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah) yo
I can't express how I feel too deep
Gotta keep it inside, it's a myth (real shit)
'Cause now when I'm chatting to N'Trap or Mula Mo
Nowadays it reminds me of Skizz (RIP)
My mum buss the door, had it out
I nearly let it off tryna hide up the ting
Pull up on a nigga bareface, no face mask
He won't have a clue that I'm riding on him (baow)
Ray's been my nigga from primary
I know him more than he knows himself
He got stabbed, no one didn't ride
He did drive on a glide, holding the pole himself (skrrt)
One up in the spot at sixteen
Telling the mandem I don't need help
Got skanked by a cat, so now when I lick my sales them
I ask them if they know Michelle
Too many girls a distraction
Mum said bitches ain't going anywhere
And every time you slipped, got locked up
In the visit hall them bitches never there (true)
So now when these hoes wanna roll through
Hit my 02, they get hella air
I know they be pissed, tryna forget
It's impossible, bitch, I'm everywhere (bitch)
Yeah, I chose my path, my mummy said, "You're on your own now"
Broken homes, we got no choice, I'm doing road now
Been a rockstar, built off crack, I'm rolling stones now
(Rolling stones no, no, no)
I just wish the love was the same up in my hometown (yeah)
Said it's eye for an eye (for an eye)
Keep your eyes on your own, I keep my eyes on mine
My Gs them ride (they ride), I put it all on my life (on my life, yeah)
Champagne sitting on ice, yeah (on ice, on ice, on ice)
I can't believe I'm living this life, yeah
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Been a rockstar, built off crack, I'm rolling stones now
I just wish the love was the same up in my-
Said it's eye for an eye
Eyes on mine
Eyes on mine, eyes on mine
Been a rockstar, built off crack, I'm rolling stones now
I just wish the love was the same up in my-
The lyrics of "Hometown" by M.O.B (Massive Of Brooklyn) touch upon themes of struggle, resilience, self-reliance, and the longing for love and acceptance in one's hometown. The song begins with the singer reflecting on the paths they've chosen, despite facing broken homes and limited choices. They mention being involved in risky activities like selling drugs and navigating the dangers of the streets.
