(Verse) B B B back B b b back B b b back Back home got non believas They all gone sign a prenup homies know love is enough not trying to be conceited Im not tryna be jesus Not trying to have a god complex Maybe like a gosh darn this boy good I like his style But I can only make it to this one show sorry for now Ill never be mad if youve ever supported but some cant even pretend to ignor it hopefully this is the only time I have to say shit Im just trying to make a living while yall trying to be famous. Plenty of money but these funny boys Charging friends just to perform They 15 minutes got cut short lol SAYin its the only way (Chorus) Knick knack pattywhack give that boy what hes earned Better get ahead or one day soon yall gone learn My words and my reach they stretch along way Trying to tell you now before it gets too late (Verse) You good if we are up to this moment. Ill pick and choose from here on out. Unfollow unfriending the negative Respect is supposed to be earned But I give it then decide if need to take it all back Or just a portion, maybe you changed your ways I dont try to cut a person off but gotta protect my name and my face Do right by me ill do the same to you Come on now learn to show a little respect my dude

I just had to cut a few people up on out my life Kept telling me they got my back then push me to the side Been at this for over 15 years not too many cheers just a ton a beers But its whatever though Been at this forever so Feeling the whether now Tethered and tired bout Time that I sever ties Make em regret it all Hate to but better off Truly need this for my overall I dont do this for the wrong Reasons Human beings switch up like the changing of the seasons Soon yall bout to see the true meaning of a sole being True

(Verse) Dont remember much about my earliest memories but I know that I came in this world with a dream Like a younger version of that martin Luther king fella Just a lesser known version, to the public eye guess I Put in some time, but so much more needed Trying to balance my happiness and back and forth pleasantries living life happily but apparantly not together. Tell me why the weathers switched up on us again Like we had to last minute switch up our plans This aint a break up song just trying to get you to understand me My words to you arent so great anymore (Chorus) Maybe there will come a day when you say come on home But not today I just cant on my end Not today no no I know that my words they all truly hurt you But it works both ways trying to keep it all soooo true I just dont want to fight anymore not today (Verse) I cant keep living in these moments at all Growing up felt like I was fighting for a living Few words spoken without a dagger Resentment made my speech into a loaded gun Aimed at a love one daring me just to squeeze I did a hundred times now its too far gone those days will never be the same I dont want this to end up going the same way Maybe in the long run we'll all be okay Cuz its better to be then having to feel let down Having to live with a frown that cant be returned to a better place The blame will never fall upon you im the who broke your heart Your the one that just wanted a simple life and right now I just cant live like that We got bills to pay so im not gonna just leave you like that. Maybe one day I can be right back Maybe one day I can come on back home Come on back home Come on home (Chorus) Maybe there will come a day when you say come on home But not today I just cant on my end Not today no no I know that my words they all truly hurt you But it works both ways trying to keep it all soooo true I just dont want to fight anymore not today

(Verse) Mommas got schizoeffective Bro takes meds that alter his perspective All I can think in my head is will this be me Man man I'm all over the place But really what can you expect of family that's broker than the next Momma can't hold onto a job Both our fathers gone Brother was way too street for his own good I was the loner who wanted more More for all of us just couldn't keep my feet to floor And ignore my own thoughts Should I stay should I go self conflict My conscious never let me leave Much further then what you see now (Chorus) Just another lost one trying to find away/away Ive spent way too much time trying to run away/away Living this life, this life like this Repeating this all over again I'm just trying to find away to make it through today maybe I can do something Like fix this place Fix this place This place (Verse) If I try every now and then could you lend your hand Because I'll carry and hold the weight still some how grab the door But I'll ignore the fact that you might be there I've grown while lowering what I should expect from you Could be nothing could be something But good out weighs the bad no matter the Output Gotta keep a lookout, for that positive out look Seek and ye shall find Just ask the weak and the blind Youll only be meek if you stay there in your mind it's easy said from someone like me but I will help thee Along the way It's what I'm hear for go ahead and ask about me I will do what I can We can sit figure out a plan All you gotta to do is ask All you gotta do is reach out your hand (Chorus) Just another lost one trying to find away/away Ive spent way too much time trying to run away/away Living this life, this life like this Repeating this all over again I'm just trying to find away to make it through today maybe I can do something Like fix this place Fix this place This place
