Hometown Hurricane

In the same old hood In hand-me down clothes Just the same old jit Spinning out control Just a kid from commerce city Trying to get it right Scared to end up like my sister Turning to the pipe How does anyone get sober With deals going down on every corner In a town you have to look over your shoulder Momma just wants to see her kids grow older I'm in a hometown hurricane Everything around me would fall like rain Had to learn things the hard way Like finding silver linings in all the pain Had the curtains pulled Staring out the window Had to let it pour Had to let that wind blow I'm in a hometown hurricane But every storm runs out of rain I'm in a hometown hurricane I'm in a hometown hurricane White picket fence dreams Finally in my control Got the same outlook With some brand new clothes Still that kid from commerce city With a brand new life Sister done with the struggle Since she found the light That's why I gotta stay sober Happiness is just around the corner Never gave in to the devil on my shoulder Momma still gets to see her boys grow older I'm in a hometown hurricane Everything around me would fall like rain Had to learn things the hard way Like finding silver linings in all the pain Had the curtains pulled Staring out the window Had to let it pour Had to let that wind blow I'm in a hometown hurricane But every storm runs out of rain I'm in a hometown hurricane I'm in a hometown hurricane
