Home Alone

From We Only Talk About Real Shit When We’re Fucked Up2023

Written by Bas, Billa Joints, J. Cole

Lyrics

Home Alone

[Intro: J. Cole]

This shit just be like journals

Journal entries, journal entry

Dedicated to the niggas that switched

Dedicated to the women I miss

Dedicated to the one that I love

Never strayin', I ain't fuckin' up this

Dedicated to my niggas that stayed

With me even through my questionable ways

Dedicated to the seeds that we grown

World revolve around this family we raised

[Chorus: J. Cole]

Dedicated to the niggas that switched

Dedicated to thе women I miss

Dedicated to thе one that I love

Never strayin', I ain't fuckin' up this

Dedicated to my niggas that stayed

With me even through my questionable ways

Dedicated to the seeds that we grown

World revolve around this family we raised

[Verse 1: J. Cole]

I ain't a killer but don't slip up and tempt me

I paint a picture like I mentored da Vinci

The rain done filled up on 'em, India and Sicily

Produced by Billa Joints, CuBeatz, T-Minus

I was young and not developed yet mentally

Mommy, daddy arguin' in the livin' room

I would come to learn that some things ain't meant to be

Guess I'm destined for a childhood of solitude

Introverted 'cause there's nobody listenin'

Father figure wasn't on television screens

Told me stories every day that were riveting

Homicidal niggas die over anything

All my idols either rapping or pivotin'

On the sofa every day, I resemble Macaulay Culkin while my momma deliverin'

Home alone without the mansion, I'm glancin' out windows, makin' sure no robbers is visitin'

Paranoid, 'cause I know the city is wild, I seen that shit with my own eyes

First time I 'member a nigga try break in our crib late at night, I was five

Dead tired, I called for my momma, somehow in that moment I realized

We was sittin' ducks, no man in the house, just two kids and her

And nowhere was her nigga, don't give a fuck, better toughen up

[Pre-Chorus: J. Cole]

And it seem like that shit stuck with me

Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me

Niggas better know what's up with me, what's up with me

And it seem like that shit stuck with me

Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me

Niggas better know what's up with me

[Chorus: J. Cole]

Dedicated to the niggas that switched

Dedicated to the women I miss

Dedicated to the one that I love

Never strayin', I ain't fuckin' up this

Dedicated to my niggas that stayed

With me even through my questionable ways

Dedicated to the seeds that we grown

World revolve around this family we raised

[Verse 2: Bas]

Still recall coldest nights, dodging bullet showers

It ain't all black and white like a Kurosawa

Got the money and fame, but we took the power

Spent it all, made it back, blew a million dollars

Went to school scholarship, but I weren't a scholar

I dropped out, I was hustlin', didn't tell my father

He was proud, I'm ashamed, I had broke my honor

Duckin' jack boys and D-Tecs, they tuckin' collars

T&T twice a week was a fuckin' problem

But you reap what you sow, I made coats of armor

GCP, L-I-E was my road to karma

Sleepless nights, droppin' loads off from home to Harlem

Though my pockets was hungry, my soul was starvin'

Didn't reach my potential 'til Cole came callin'

Gave me space to reflect when the tour was startin'

Couldn't waste and neglect, had a bigger callin'

Almost died, saw the flash of life, callin' home from the afterlife

Crime pays, almost paid the price

Momma told me she prayed that my life spared

Devil on my shoulder like a boulder

But just when I needed you, God, you was right there

In my corner like Cus D'Amato, Iron Mike from a city where nobody fight fair

Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: J. Cole]

And it seem like that shit stuck with me

Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me

Niggas better know what's up with me, what's up with me

And it seem like that shit stuck with me

Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me

Niggas better know what's up with me

[Chorus: J. Cole]

Dedicated to the niggas that switched

Dedicated to the women I miss

Dedicated to the one that I love

Never strayin', I ain't fuckin' up this

Dedicated to my niggas that stayed

With me even through my questionable ways

Dedicated to the seeds that we grown

World revolve around this family we raised
