You Can Never Go Home Again (feat. Dan Whitener, R-Son & Dolio the Sleuth)

I remember 20 years ago I was sitting in that court room My charges I could not defend The last thing the judge said to me as he handed down my sentence Was you can never go home again Never go home, never go home You can never go home again And I agreed with everything that the judge said If you come back around, I'm going out like Judge Dredd What was in your head when you made those choices? I can only hope that you were played by voices And you made the decision not to listened to the one That was on your side when you started to slide But mama brought you back home She was broken down to the bone, 'cause you were gone so long But now her baby boy is back in the house You can see the smile on her mouth I ain't never seen her this happy Then all of a sudden you disappeared again She's crumbling down, the smile is gone from her chin And she doesn't know where And I don't even care 'Cause you broke mama's heart twice and it ain't even nice Now I'm surprised as heck that she's wondering where you went And I don't give a damn friend When you've done your time and you come back out that doorway You will not find a loved one or a friend You may return to the place where the people used to know you But you can never go home again Never go home, never go home You can never go home again The things I have seen would horrify the strongest When I left home I haven't been to in the longest Led a life by the sword, was supposed to fall upon it The kite flew, there was nobody left to correspond with The million faces either passed or they flipped So there wasn't much for me to do except dip Too many years lost off the lives of a snitch Who is lying in a ditch now Left to walk across he land as a mystery Every new town, reinvent a new history I turned my back on my past just to get to see a new day Reframe my identity Get to sleep at night? Man I need a fifth at least The dirty deeds that I did just to get to eat Melancholy and emptiness The unseen consequence of the conditions of release We found a man the other day, just hanging from the ceiling His sentence was almost at an end And there on his bed was a note so sad and simple Saying You can never go home again Never go home, never go home You can never go home again Never go home, never go home You can never go home again
