Home Soon Lyrics
[00:05.35] Yeah, love
[00:09.74] Love, love, love
[00:15.90] Love, hmm
[00:20.26] You tell me it's a cold world you ain't never lie
[00:22.81] This for my n- worldwide, yes i'm back home
[00:25.47] And pay attention to my shit and keep your head high
[00:28.03] And listen up cause this ain't just another rap song
[00:30.48] My n- 17 never had his palms out
[00:33.21] He grabbed some work from out the shoebox in his bedroom
[00:35.74] I really hate to keep this shit inside my mom house
[00:38.42] Before she sleep I know she think I'ma be dead soon
[00:40.91] Consumed by the perfume of the street life, engulfed by the weed smoke in the O.E
[00:46.36] I often think it ain't gon' never be no peace right
[00:48.86] Cause if it ain't another n- it's the police
[00:51.45] He hit the door and put the dope inside his backpack
[00:53.91] And walk across the boulevard to where his aunt stay
[00:56.67] His mama stressing he been helping with the bills now
[00:59.22] But he been slipping, serving n-s in the broad day
[01:01.89] He heard some sirens from behind him and his heart stopped
[01:04.63] Five cops on the block, yelling "n- freeze!"
[01:07.22] He stood still as the trees with his jaw dropped
[01:09.77] "Ay put your hands on your head and get on your knees"
[01:12.39] Please, he ran, fast as he can and the shots rang
[01:15.41] He fell face down on his concrete tomb
[01:18.21] Apologetic cause instead of saying love you
[01:20.82] His last words to his mother "I'll be home soon"
[01:23.52] Damn
[01:27.90] I'll be home soon
[01:33.19] You tell me it's a cold world you ain't never lie
[01:35.76] This for my n- worldwide, yes i'm back home
[01:38.36] And pay attention to my shit and keep your head high
[01:41.04] And listen up cause this ain't just another rap song
[01:43.31] Just another rap song, rap song
[01:48.17] Nah this ain't just another rap song
[01:54.21] She had a problem with them bitches with the long hair
[01:56.62] And even though she keep her makeup and her weave tight
[01:59.34] Somehow she couldn't help but think I don't belong here
[02:01.94] They try to holler while she walk beneath the streetlights
[02:04.41] She tired of dealing with them n-s cause it's all games
[02:07.15] That's when he said "Hey can I take you out to eat right, and get to know you?"
[02:10.58] She said "Yeah that's what they all claim"
[02:12.33] Before you know it she was smiling, he had G right
[02:14.97] After a little hesitation, let her guard down
[02:17.65] She finally let him get the number and he called quick, they clicked
[02:20.79] Ay, fast forward to the bedroom
[02:22.82] He going up her shirt and kissing on her soft lips
[02:25.46] She let him hit and while he dips into the bathroom
[02:27.97] She thinking damn that shit was good but it was so soon
[02:30.55] And something told her go and check the n- cellphone
[02:33.16] A text to his girl saying "I'll be home soon"
[02:35.80] I'll be home soon
[02:37.37] Damn
[02:41.14] I'll be home soon
[02:46.20] You tell me it's a cold world you ain't never lie
[02:48.87] This for my n- worldwide, yes i'm back home
[02:51.35] And pay attention to my shit and keep your head high
[02:54.02] And listen up cause this ain't just another rap song
[02:56.50] Just another rap song, rap song
[03:00.95] Nah this ain't just another rap song
[03:03.41]
