Make It Home

Every time I wake up 'round my way

They kill a **** like me every day

So I gotta kiss you goodbye in the morning

I don't wanna leave you alone, but you know there's a chance

That I won't make it home tonight to kiss you again

I just wanna be with you

I just wanna be with you

I just wanna be with you

Mama's crying, youngin's dying, it's more violence

Shit'll never change, but a **** won't stop trying

On 'em drugs, he ain't thinking straight, my brodie gone

Can't blame him, these streets took his only one

Ain't no stopping war when it's too much blood lost

Tryna up the score, no rest till it's done

Body after body, it's beyond too far

Too deep in for the preaching and praying to God

Tell me, what can change this?

When a system out to keep us all in cages

Where they tell you you can't dream and you can't make it

In the city, you get left nameless and brainless

Stay up out the way

I feel your pain, my brother, but know you still could be great

I swear that there's a way out, you could find another way

That's what I told myself when I was right up in your place

Looking in the mirror with tears running down my face

Every time I wake up 'round my way

They kill a **** like me every day

So I gotta kiss you goodbye in the morning

I don't wanna leave you alone, but you know there's a chance

That I won't make it home tonight to kiss you again

I just wanna be with you

Oh, I just wanna be with you

Every time I wake up 'round my way

They kill a **** like me every day

So I gotta kiss you goodbye in the morning

I don't wanna leave you alone, but you know there's a chance

That I won't make it home tonight to kiss you again

I just wanna be with you, oh

I just wanna be with you, oh
