Homecoming

Uh, it's been a long time coming
But I'm finally home
They used to call me kid
That boy is finally grown
Came from the rock bottom
Look at how far I've come
Couldn't wait for the day to say father
Look at your son
Took what was impossible and turned
It to a dream
Until I lost so much sleep it became reality
They say that what goes up, must come down
I'm that ashy, that classy, poster child
So I roll out my red carpet
Break out my red garments
Haters wanting my dead
Break out my red target
They question what I've started
I tell 'em several things
They asked me what I wanted
I tell 'em everything

They asked me what I've started
I tell 'em several things
They asked me what I wanted
I tell 'em everything
My heart is all in it, losing is off limit's
Reputation matches my attire, I'm authentic
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming
Tell 'em it's my homecoming

I have outgrew so many things
The hood does not fit me
But I can't forget my past
I brought the whole hood with me
Because I love my city, it made me who I am
Tattoo read city boy, but I'm the city's man
You'll never break me down
They wish I was afraid
Out of all the situations I've fought for
You'd think I'd run away?
I count? a thousand depths and
I ain't hurt yet
Taught how to be a man, but to be a sucka
I ain't learnt yet
So everybody put your drinks up
Let's toast to who didn't need no help
Now swing one back for anybody who
Got one they goddamn selves
I bring it back for the city
And they put on for me
We celebrating the beginning
This my homecoming

They asked me what I've started
I tell 'em several things
They asked me what I wanted
I tell 'em everything
My heart is all in it, losing is off limit's
Reputation matches my attire, I'm authentic
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming
Tell 'em it's my homecoming

I told 'em what I wanted
What I meant is what I need it's not just I
It's everyone that's depending on me
I pour my heart in these beats
To soar up outta these streets
Pour victory bottles till liquor knocks
Us out on these sheets
I say it straight faced
I feel it's owed to me
Monopolize like Rockerfeller
That's the HOV in me
My father couldn't even influence my ways
So why the fly-fuck you think I
Care what a haters gotta say?
I know exactly why they hate
They know exactly why I'm great
They put in work and I work
Harder, they follow I innovate, yES
I never claimed the title
I was given the throne
Cleveland's American Idol
The king is finally home

They asked me what I've started
I tell 'em several things
They asked me what I wanted
I tell 'em everything
My heart is all in it, losing is off limit's
Reputation matches my attire, I'm authentic
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming, this is my homecoming
This is my homecoming
Tell 'em it's my homecoming

Roll out the red carpet
Break out my red garments
Haters wanting me dead
Break out the red targets
They ask me what I started
I tell 'em several things
They ask me what I wanted
I tell 'em everything
Break out the red carpet
Break out my red garments
Haters wanting me dead
Break out the red targets
They ask me what I started
I tell 'em several things
They ask me what I wanted
I tell 'em everything
