[Verse 1] They say that all your old girls got somebody new I said, "Damn, really? Even Rose Mary? Even Leanne Sealy?" They said, "Fucking right, they were the first to go" It's nothing personal, it's just that all them women that you slept on Been working though, they've been saving up New niggas came around, they been waking up With "I swear, you don't know this city anymore They might have loved you before But you're out here doing your thing, they don't know you" Ah, sure they do, they just not as sincere It's crazy all the emotions forgot in a year She like why you even give a fuck, you not even here? Well out there there ain't nothing for me and I think I need to come home
[Hook] Tell me, who did I leave behind? You think it got to me, I can just read your mind You think I'm so caught up in where I am right now Uh, but believe I remember it all
[Verse 2] I be with my nigga Chubbs, he in love with street shit No wonder why I feel awkward at this Fashion Week shit No wonder why I keep fucking up the double-cheek kiss Along for that ignorant Young Money Miami Beach shit Couple artists got words for me, that's never fun They say it's on when they see me, that day don't ever come I'm never scared, they never real, I never run When all is said and done, more is always said than done And I was told once, things will change By a nigga named Tip when my deal came Told me it's all good, even when it feel strange Now I'm that guy that know them strippers by their real names Rochelle, Jordan Thick bitches, they just talked me out of four grand How'd a pile of kush become a mountain of truth? How'd a bottle of wine become the fountain of youth? Damn, my biggest fear is losing it all Remember how I used to feel at the start of it And now I'm living a mothafucking fairy tale And still tryna keep me feeling a part of it Yeah, just lie to my ears Tell me it feel the same, that's all I've been dying to hear Lights get low and that's when I have my brightest ideas And I heard my city feel better than ever, that's why I gotta come home
[Hook]
[Verse 3] My mother is back to who she was years ago It's like a new page me and her are beginning on I wish she'd stop checking up on women I can't stand Cause I got new girls I could use her opinion on She thinks I've become a slave to the wealth But I'd never break the promises I made to myself And I would never make up names for myself Then change the names that I just gave to myself Certain rappers would call me to say "What up, though?" I used to brag about it to my friends And now I'm feeling like all of these niggas cutthroat And maybe that's all they do is just pretend Damn, but I bought it though, I believed it Yeah, I thought it and I achieved it Yeah, so show me love, show me fucking love Cause I thought it was all I needed Yeah, clearly I was wrong about it all along And this'll be the year that I won't even feel shit They trip off the amount of people that I brought along But I'm just tryna be surrounded by some real shit Need credentials for every one of these Toronto kids I promised they'd see it with me, we just tryna live I told 'em we about to get it and we finally did Listen closely to my shit I swear it's sounding like home
[Hook]
[Outro: Bob Marley] Well the way I feel about the music, it can be copied, you know? But, it’s not copy do it, it’s the feel, you know? Can explain to musician Where them do it or them can’t do it Some people still searchin for this truth here
