Hometown

Yeah, yeah Woah Look, look Just got back now living in my hometown Been away for a minute but I'm home now Seen a lot of things, mama says I'm grown now But it's funny how much is still the same I was walking down the street saw my childhood crush out chilling I'm grown now but I still got that rush of feeling Would've said something but I think my tongue went limping I ain't simping no more but I sure ain't pimping And she still go to mass like me On a Sunday sitting in the balcony, like me I still gotta tell myself 'deep breaths just breathe Ask her out this time you a man now' Tryna understand how everything can pan out Send you on a journey just to bring you back around now Give you all the same tests that you failed in your younger days To see if you've grown or you just older and the same I look the same, but my brain changed Educated, brain-trained Plus my heart is harder now, I guard it with my main chain Been a lot of women leaving scars since the last day I saw her but we back like in those happy younger days She still go to mass like me On a Sunday sitting in the balcony, like me I still gotta tell myself 'deep breaths just breathe Ask her out this time you a man now' (She was wearing) High tops, black skirt, baby girl looking fly Hold on, wait I thought you knew better than to fall in love this time You're right, but still She brought back a part of me I thought had died And I I don't think I'd forgive myself if I never tried I was walking down the street saw my childhood crush out chilling I'm grown now but I still got that rush of feeling Would've said something but I think my tongue went limping Man it's funny how things never change Guess I still get lonely Still looking for a heart that's holy Still wishing I was famous so they'd know me And I'd know that they would love me And I wouldn't have to call 'cause they would phone me But I also know that type of love is phoney And I guess I still wish the same person would hold me Wish I was a player so my heart beats more low-key The next time I see her so it's easier to think clearer Drop a little line, get her number and just be near her But maybe it never gets easier Maybe growing up is realizing that regret tastes more bitter than rejection And the very fact it's difficult is what makes you a man 'Cause you still do it, and you push through it Even though you may lose a bit of pride along the way And you're gonna need some help that's why you always gotta pray I'm just glad that I didn't lose myself that day I'm still seeing her feeling the same way I'm glad some things'll never change 'Cause she still go to mass like me On a Sunday sitting in the balcony, like me I still gotta tell myself 'deep breaths just breathe Ask her out this time you a man now' (You a man now!) She still go to mass like me On a Sunday sitting in the balcony, like me I still gotta tell myself 'deep breaths just breathe Ask her out this time you a man now' Just got back now living in my hometown Been away for a minute but I'm home now Seen a lot of things, mama says I'm grown now But it's funny how much is still the same
