Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I been a cynic, picked up the bottle and I swigged it to no limit

Mama took it from me, did I say that I was finished?

I know she prayin' for my liver, I know she think I'm playin' when I say

That I'ma give her everything she ever sacrificed to raise me

I pop up in your city like a Banksy

[Verse 2]

I made it twenty six, graduated from my list, no shackles on my wrist

Went to battle with the devil, came back with the medal tucked

Clothes burnt, fire on my chest, what the fuck is up?

I be like nothin' much, all these damn years I been fuckin' up

Showin' up in court wit' a button-up

[Verse 3]

I been on a new wave, on the ball like a toupee

CBD, alkaline water over kool-aid

Lil' Kota tell me he ain't seen me in like two days

Swear that lil' boy should be somebody that you thank

I say that 'cause he share me with the world

From Clinton Hill to K-Town, sleepin' on a Greyhound

Laughin' on the Facetime, Daddy always made time

See you when I'm back home, see you when I'm back home

(See you when I'm back home)

[Verse 4]

You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)

Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)

You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)

I see you when I'm back home (I see you when I'm back home)

You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)

Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)

You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)

[Verse 5]

Uh, yeah

And on to bigger better stuff, from sleepin' on the megabus

I had to move around because I knew that it'd be better for us

Metaphors I never taught, without wishin' I teleport

Telegraph, send a message home from the hotel that I settle for

Set a goal to water seeds, I'm feelin' chosen, prophecy

Life is what you make it, I just made it somethin' I believe

Opportunity or not, it's at the door, then I'ma leave

But I'ma be right back, she know she don't like that

[Verse 6]

California burn the industry, it been on fire

While I was lookin' for a break, like Ye on through the wire

Tryna convince my fam that one day I want to retire

Right now everything good though, the universe in alignment

I started hidin', all of my hobbies ain't know about it

Until I had a product I'm proud of to post about it

At any time I doubt it, my family won't allow it

Another year with the sun I'm gracious to go around it, ay

[Verse 7]

See you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)

You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)

Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)

You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)

I'ma see you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)

You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)

Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)

You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)

[Verse 8]

I went from feelin' like I was a burden

To I don't give a fuck if you don't like my person

Never catch me beggin' for attention

Only focused on the people in my section

I appreciate the blessings, had too many devils in this life

I revel in this life, I don't settle for this life

I done kept ridin' with a broken pedal for this life

If you still here, I'm happy that he kept you in my life

[Verse 9]

On the real, I don't want you here if you don't really wanna chill

If you ain't for the better of the squad, you can bail

Spit your ass out like it's Jonah and the whale

Wavin' to my haters 'cause my boat is settin' sail

If I say I love you, then that's where it ends

You don't gotta have a title just to be my friend

You can have it all, I won't ask you for a damn thing

Welcome to my table, it don't matter what you can't bring

[Verse 10]

I told the labels I'ma do it independent

But I met some good people, so I keep the friendship

My son don't even like me goin' to the store

He be thinkin' it's another tour

[Verse 11]

I'ma see you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)

You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)

Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)

You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)

I'ma see you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)

You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)

Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)

You know I don't want that (Don't want that)
