HOMETOWN BUSINESS

lyrics

Came back bought land put pounds in my village
Big fact yeah there’s truth in the lyric
Hometown hero and it’s me on the billing
Pounds euros yen and I’m making a killing
Yo J grab the camera take an image
Send it to the haters and the critics
We just count the hours no we don’t focus on minutes out here 4th quarter clutch putting on a clinic
Grass is greener over here just because we’re lucky
It’s just us pure Irish luck I’m sure okay it must be
Ginger hair I didn’t care and still they use to cuss me
Fly the flag can’t lack or lag I wave it for the country
When I ball out that’s all out on the pitch I’m George Best
Couldn’t care what they think or say Mayday’s up next
Taken like Liam Neeson if you don’t hold your breath
Down here giants cause way careful how you step

Bang, back out on the road again
Gang, just cruising in my own lane
Conversations with my grandad gave me the bigger picture so I’m out here and I’m searching for the frame
Irish stew in the big pot, big boss all about business Rick Ross
Ticked off his loss it’s off all because jealousy is a bad trait
But sometimes that’s how it goes and how the games played
Back my boys the same way that I drink red lemonade
I got fam in north, I got fam in south
So either way you better watch your mouth
Before you lose your teeth when I knock ‘em out
Then I’ll smile as the hit the ground
Woah I’m switching up the accent
Yo, Did you clock the Steeze and check the pattern
Bro, yes I’m repping Brum and repping Antrim
So, I’m juggling two cities all in tandem
Oh, what, you thought this was random?
No, don, this is how I planned it
Hold, on, do you understand it?
This, one, is the Antrim Anthem

Cold up north it’s back and forth so round we go again
Can’t stop or pause we stay on course I’m feeling like the last one left
I open doors with no remorse think they know me just like Edge
All I know is that they show that there’s no get up and go in them
Come from a town round here every bodies neighbours auntie got the same house lived here for ages said I buy a new one when I get famous she said no I guess her answer never changes
Never could never will
She’s good stood still
In mud on hill
Right now she’s bless how she’s living
Still do what I said I’m not kidding
My branch got snapped off my family tree
My branch got covered in by all the leaves
Had the same roots and I had the same boots but all I see right now is that it’s just me
People back home are telling me I’ve made it
I reply thanks but I’m just in your playlist
They say what you want though what are you craving
I reply I really wish a knew a bit of Gaelic
All I know is ceart go leor
So you can see why I wanna know more
I’m like yeah believe me I’m sure
I’m like yeah believe me I’m sure
