(feat. Mike Marshall)
2
[Chorus:]
3
I've been waiting for the day (waiting for the day)
4
That i'd be going home again (going home)
5
I've been away from family way too long
6
But I know I'll soon be home again
7
[Verse 1:]
8
Ugh, life ain't promised tomorrow that's what they say
9
Look what i say life ain't promised today
10
A lot of folks outta work right now, latin, white and black
11
So we count on obama care and america's job welfare
12
Where i'm from is ugly not pretty it's all bad it ain't good
13
The pizza man don't even wanna come to my hood
14
Robberies crime scenes being seeing it often
15
And the most lucrative business is selling coffins
16
Society is two faced to a lot of folks that was well off then fell on hard times
17
The sign of the times family fallin out with family a whole lot of mess
18
I wish we had more positive speakers like dr. Cornell west
19
My niece wanna be a cosmetologist, my nephew a chef
20
But without a scholarship, a student loan will put them both in debt
21
Now that's a catch 23 man that's not a catch 22 caz I'd be damned if I don't and damn if I do
22
My relative just got out the state but now he headed to the feds
23
On some trumped up charges that he didn't did
24
But as soon as he come home we goin make a prison spread
25
Got some ramen noodles, some mayonnaise and tuna, some cheese and potato chips
26
[Chorus ]
27
[Verse 2:]
28
Everytime I leave the house i pray that i make it back
29
It's easier to kill a man but it's harder to live with that
30
It's bad outta here in this trap try'na make it in rap
31
Swimming in this concrete lake where the 2 legged snakes is at
32
We quick to kill our own killin, all wanna scrap and fight
33
The slave masters did want us to learn how to read and write
34
My minority is not the authority, priority
35
In the correctional institutions we make up the majority
36
Hot ones echo through the ghetto bullets ricocheted
37
The batteram and the canines and the task raids
38
It's been 3 weeks and a half and she still ain't bathed
39
Turning tricks for rocks dippin top in alleyways
40
Used to be finer than wood face, body and butt
41
The baddest broad at the school now she sucked out
42
A good girl gone bad used to be squared as a town
43
Y'all had everything spoiled rotten we nothin in our christmas stockings
44
I keep my enemies close so i can see what they plotting
45
Some of my family gone but they not forgotten
46
[Chorus]
47
[Verse 3:]
48
The devil working over time but he can't defeat me
49
Every night i say my prayer for some reason i get sleepy
50
Is there a heaven for a hussler, a d boy, a pusher
51
Try'na provide for his family, brothers and sistas
52
All i got is my word and my name
53
A good reputation is better than fame
54
What if things don't shape up that what i say to the preacher
55
He said you gotta have faith you gotta be a believer
56
Don't wanna be a employee i wanna be a employer
57
Everytime i get some money it go to my lawyer
58
I'm on the phone with my aunty she my prayer waiver
59
Giving me scriptures to read to protect me from the destroyer
60
This is my letter to god i hope that he reads this
61
Please cover me with the blood of your son jesus
62
The clouds is dark, rain, lightening and thunder
63
When the saints come marching in i wanna be in that number
64
[Chorus]
65
[Outro:]
66
Oooh it's been so long
67
Been so long
68
And i'm on my way home
69
On my way home
70
Back to my family
71
To my family
72
It's been too long
73
It's been a long time
74
It's been so long
75
So much pain
76
But i'm on my way home
77
Hardship, struggle, the struggle man growing up in the inner city
78
It's been so long
79
Life is heavy, life is heavy y'all
80
But i'm on my way home
81
Gotta stay prayed up
82
Back to my family
83
Keepin praying man
84
It's been so long
85
God is good
86
Been so long
87
Keep the faith man
88
But I'm on my way home
89
The ups and downs man
90
The torment and turmoil my nigga
91
The torment stay strong my nigga stay strong
92
Stay strong my brothas, stay strong
