They say that all your old girls got somebody new.
I said, “Damn really? Even Rosemary? Even Leanne Seely?”
They said, “Fuckin’ right, they were the first to go”
Its nothing personal,
it’s just that all of them women you slept on were working though,
they were saving up -
new niggas came around, they’ve 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..”
Sure they do they’re 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, it ain’t nothing for me, and I think I need to come home.
Tell me, who did I leave behind?
You think you got to me,
I can just read your mind.
You think I’m so caught up in where
I am right now,
but believe I remember it all.
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,
I long for that ignorant Young Money, Miami beach shit.
A couple of artists got words for me, that’s never fun.
They say its on when they see me, that day dont ever come.
Im 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 its all good, even when it feels strange,
now I’m the guy that know strippers by they real names.
Rochelle, Jordanne, thick bitches, they just talked me out of 4 grand.
How did a pile of kush become the mountain of truth?
How did 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 muthafuckin fairy tale,
and still trying to keep you feeling a part of it.
Yea, just lie to my ears,
tell me you feel the same, its all I’ve been dying to hear
Lights get low, and thats when I have my brightest ideas,
and I heard my city feel better than ever -
that’s why I gotta come home.
