《Back Home》歌词

[00:00:00] .50

[00:00:04] (feat. Common and Styles Of Beyond)

[00:00:10] Back home

[00:00:12] Everybody's searching for somethin'

[00:00:13] But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin'

[00:00:15] Back home

[00:00:17] Ain't nobody hoping and praying

[00:00:19] 'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em

[00:00:21] And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact that

[00:00:24] Life goes black when those lights go out

[00:00:26] But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own

[00:00:29] 'Cause ain't a damn thing free

[00:00:30] Back home

[00:00:32] Back home / they holler "disciple" and "blackstone"

[00:00:34] Same block the freebase yo we trapped on

[00:00:37] Where our grandmothers marched / The guns clap on

[00:00:40] There's liquor stores, beauty supplies, and rap songs

[00:00:42] I travel the world just to come back to it

[00:00:45] The crib got a lot of soul like black music

[00:00:47] I'm attached to it

[00:00:49] In many ways this city raised me / and gave me

[00:00:51] The drama, honor, and bravery

[00:00:53] The streets seem hollow / when I go to Chicago

[00:00:56] It's cheap wine and sorrow

[00:00:57] Times is hard to swallow

[00:00:58] In search of God's tomorrow / I borrow words from the

[00:01:01] Bible / and use them for survival / gangs rival

[00:01:04] Signs painted on walls like hiero / glyphics

[00:01:07] I tell 'em that this is all tribal

[00:01:09] Used to do dirt / Shorty's goin' through the same cycle

[00:01:11] And trials like Michael / tryin' not to stay idle

[00:01:14] Back home

[00:01:16] Everybody's searching for somethin'

[00:01:17] But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin'

[00:01:19] Back home

[00:01:21] Ain't nobody hoping and praying

[00:01:23] 'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em

[00:01:25] And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact that

[00:01:28] Life goes black when those lights go out

[00:01:30] But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own

[00:01:33] 'Cause ain't a damn thing free

[00:01:34] Back home

[00:01:35] Back home it's not Compton but close

[00:01:37] The same problems exist and the pain throbbin'

[00:01:39] And folks are so common

[00:01:41] It don't / really bother us much we just swallow it / uh

[00:01:44] Crack the bottle and smoke / hope tomorrow something

[00:01:46] Magical happens that'll put me back in the biz

[00:01:49] But the chances of it acutally happening's kinda slim

[00:01:51] Back home / we get the good life at a glimpse

[00:01:54] In the form of a rap star, drug dealers, and pimps

[00:01:57] I'm back home

[00:01:58] I try my best to keep it together it's cold

[00:02:00] Like the Windy City streets of December

[00:02:02] I pace back and forth / looking for the courage to shine

[00:02:04] But can't lap the source / need something to nourish my mind

[00:02:07] I know we all lose quite a bit in life

[00:02:09] Only to gain some

[00:02:11] Life or the dark winding roads we came from

[00:02:13] But I move with the night / so I'm used to the shade

[00:02:15] And never lose sight / bringing truth back to the game

[00:02:18] Back home / We've got a lot of sh*t on our minds

[00:02:21] We're always behind on something cause there's not enough time

[00:02:23] And we're non-stop / bottom line / doing what we gotta do

[00:02:26] To get some food in the fridge and stay out of the hospital

[00:02:29] Back home there's people calling us hopeless

[00:02:31] People trying to tell us all we need is some focus

[00:02:34] But focus

[00:02:35] Focus is overrated

[00:02:37] Cause you see every blemish and mistake and can't change it

[00:02:40] Back home is Alvarado / K-Town and J-Town

[00:02:43] Or Little Tokyo for those that don't know

[00:02:45] Where figures shiver / living right in the littler

[00:02:47] Where kids write bigger / right inside the LA river

[00:02:50] On the concrete / a symbol of our everyday way

[00:02:53] Its that color and concentration over heavy and grey

[00:02:56] And by the time the ink dries on this page

[00:02:58] I'll be half a day away from the place where I stay

[00:03:01] Back home

[00:03:02] Everybody's searching for somethin'

[00:03:04] But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin'

[00:03:06] Back home

[00:03:07] Ain't nobody hoping and praying

[00:03:09] 'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em

[00:03:11] And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact that

[00:03:15] Life goes black when those lights go out

[00:03:17] But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own

[00:03:19] 'Cause ain't a damn thing free

[00:03:21] Back home
