#Wretch32 #Kano #HomeSweetHome

(Wretch) Mummy said I’m hard of hearing
In her golden earrings this is like a golden era
Schooled by the golden parents
Do your chores and run your errands
Before you say a sentence cause
Children should be seen not heard or interfering
So the front room door is closed
There’s something on the stove
Sending shivers up my nose
And I can hear the dominos
Then I hear one drop
Then the riddims turning low and I hear “run shop”
And now I’m really on my toes
So I ran there extra quick
Came back excited like they might just let me in
Until they asked me “where’s the Twix?”
Oh s***
Chatting to Melissa in the shop
She caused my memory to slip
“The bwoy came back here with no Twix
With a blue bag like mi nuh notice
He said that trick inna di book is the oldest
Where mi weed deh now mi ah roll it”
Here we go again
And man I even spent the change
So I’m just hoping he forgets
And as I creep off to my room I hear them call me lickle wretch
(Wretch) It weren’t home sweet home when the community was gated
It was home sweet home when the community was raging
Pissing in the flats and that was pissing off my neighbours
We only dodged the providence so we could pay the bailiffs
That was home sweet home to me
Kano made Home Sweet Home for me
And you can switch up or act different but
My memory museum just won’t take those from me

(Wretch) Luciano playing cleansing souls and it’s touching mine
These times I’ve broke a dozen eggs bout a dozen times
Blamed it on my cousin cause my mother’s the stubborn type
Probably won’t let me touch the road ‘til the summer time
Ran into the kitchen can’t be seen gotta duck and dive
These times it’s like the hunger games when the hunger strikes
Sipped the Baby Cham and now I’m feeling to butterfly
Left the Ritz biscuits but I’ll come back another time
Teef mi ah teef ya na
What you stole you gonna reap yana
It’s not everything you need yana
So much lessons earned running through my mother’s purse
For that bus pass money tryna get to school to learn
Before she caught me
Boxed me in my face and turned me 40
I probably wasn’t even 14
In bullet hole jeans string vest got me looking mean
Was Mr lover when Shabba had the lean
And Desmond’s was the ting
And the Fresh Prince’s happy Black family I thought that
only happened on the screen
I saw it with my own two eyes that day
The saltfish had the sauce but the rice was plain
Avon bubble bath when it’s time to bathe
And the Faceoff caught my eye before the iPhone came
(Wretch) It weren’t home sweet home when the community was gated
It was home sweet home when the community was raging
Pissing in the flats and that was pissing off my neighbours
We only dodged the providence so we could pay the bailiffs
That was home sweet home to me
Kano made Home Sweet Home for me
And you can switch up or act different but
My memory museum just won’t take those from me

Wretch text me in the Boeing 777
Must be lucky cah mi gaan a yard
Why does the land that I’m leaving feel like abroad?
Fifty-two race cards on deck but I don’t shuffle nah
I don’t bogle, I don’t tap dance for massa nah
That’s a pass bruv
Summer Barking Road Cassetars
Nothing classic like them Reeboks I was gassing Heartless
Screaming that-that-that-that’s
I rock the three stripes but there was never three lions on my shirt
if ah nuh rasta
Seventy-three years of hurt jewels still gleaming though
John Barnes, Carlton Palmer, Dez Walker, Ian though
Country and the Queen but if they took a penalty
We couldn’t look into the screen that was the talk amongst the ni-ggers
It’s funny how we come so far
Why coloureds are still bitching ‘bout the last twelve yards
It’s just a jar geez
You flood the markets with your banana plantain
So you bastards can’t speak when we’re monkey chanting
Bet Saka never felt Blacker
And Rashford was the bees ‘til finals
So really we’re some “he’s alright thoughs
But only when they feed our child though”
But take a knee and that’s taking the Michael
That’s why I couldn’t accept the Honours list
Coz one mistake you’re no longer Brit
That’s common s*** when you’re from the bits
Aww, wog-a-matter?
N**** mind, go black home
You’ll be all white in the morning
That’s the country that we’re born in
(Wretch) It weren’t home sweet home when the community was gated
It was home sweet home when the community was raging
Pissing in the flats and that was pissing off my neighbours
We only dodged the providence so we could pay the bailiffs
That was home sweet home to me
Kano made Home Sweet Home for me
And you can switch up or act different but
My memory museum just won’t take those from me
