[Verse 1: Upper West] I got my ticket Fam yeah I'm coming Damn, it's been a minute since I've seen where I'm from And I, Want to glide to my nest in the east I'm not dead, but I'm home, so I'm resting in peace See I'm surrounded by the city Wherever I go Or breathe, I know That I'm a take it with me Look, Whether on top of the world, or top of the charts That uptown, west side, lives in my heart As I depart, on my mission in life I close my eyes and I see the never diffident lights I'm missing the nights, when we used to both stop time See we'd lock hands, I got yours, and you got mine Let's rewind, Now is not as pretty as it seems And back then, all we had's the city and a dream But time flies, Just like the good die young And when the clock stops, I'll still count the place I'm from My problem lately I been feeling so nostalgic And everytime I'm back home, I solve it I fell in love with a girl on my block The same spot, where my Mom use to tell me to stop When I got to the curb, slow down Cars are coming fast now So when I walk I always hear her in the back ground These memories are really all I've known So if I had a genie, I would wish to go back home
[Hook : Sarah Solovay] Every time I sleep One thing's haunting me I dream of those streets I miss my city The life I used to know The lights that used to glow Let that truth be told It's time to go back home
[Verse 2: Reef of Fortune Family] Take me back, take me back man I miss it Home was our kingdom, we were little princes Hit up the homies when Im back sure we'll kick it Travel back in the time so let me buy my tickets Slow down, slow down, let me reminisce Set me free, set me free, my deliverance Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock Press pause for a second and let the time stop Momma don't cry Ill be back in the summer To my boys that drifted I swear it is a bummer Now I'm on the come up, man life so fast And life changes quick, so lets cheers to the past
[Hook : Sarah Solovay] Every time I sleep One thing's haunting me I dream of those streets I miss my city The life I used to know The life that used to glow Let that truth be told It's time to go back home
[Verse 2: Gabriel Stark] Kings of Leon, the recipe on I'm coming, from the land where they compare me to Sean It's like I'm, in a world where they tat up they arms In an elevator going up, the doors are peed on, it's like I'm Heaven's angel, I'm living it like a fable Everybody's reaching out to connect with me like it's cable But I can only make it stable, if I run it like a horse And the dream can only happen if I let it take it's course So let me cross you up (II), it's almost time to say it loud Last summer, I was just another person in the crowd Now I'm losing sight of greatness and I'm laughing while they hating There's no need to chase the crown cause it's already been taken, gone
[Hook : Sarah Solovay] Every time I sleep One thing's haunting me I dream of those streets I miss my city The life I used to know The life that used to glow Let that truth be told It's time to go back home
It's time to go back home It's time to go back home Look how distant we've grown I think it's time to go back home
