Baby Come Home

[Hook: 2X]

Baby come home we need you

To keep being strong and reach through

Just please do whatever you need to

We broke and it won't be complete till we see you

[Verse One]

Ain't no sunshine never

She's always gone too long, this house is not a home

Unties that bind, unturn turnacit

So this wife of mine is in turn turning tricks

I know why you put the devil in your vein

That's the only time you feel separate from your pain

I can't believe you never gonna change

So I'm trying to hold a paper house together in the rain

Baby girl came home with lice

Had to wash her hair

Almost lost her to foster care

Her dinner is Micky D's drive through

I'm in the streets till the wee hours tryin' to find you

I can't let you go

I've seen the treasure no

I know better had to go fetch you

I'm depressed and the problem is

Can't rest till you die or decide to live so...

[Hook]

[Verse Two]

When you were born I had a head full of vision

You in college, us with a family business

But as you grew I realized

I had no clue exactly what it is a dad should do

And that being true I should have never been surprised when

Your friends in the streets had your ears more than I did

Every bit of dream I had was crushed

They put my little man in a bus, hands in cuffs

Hard to face it

You incarcerated

Just don't play cards, lift weights and waste it

Back against the wall, pissed off and angered

Pinpoint the point where you get lost and change it

Or one day you're gonna look up

Your life half over and you passed on the good stuff

If we ever get a second chance to hook up

We'll pass through the past and pick up where we should have son

[Hook]

[Verse Three]

You a stranger in your old old neighborhood

Moved to the sun, forgot about the greater good

Act like nobody gave you a push

Now you're trying to get the history erased from your book

Look

You ain't rich your middle class

Lucky your family don't whup your stinkin' ass

While you in Paris, carelessly shoppin'

Your parents are starvin', tears in their apartment

No wonder you don't come home more often

So ashamed of what you are that you're an orphan

Don't you see that you would die?

If a tree don't feed it's roots it's suicide

No matter how far from home you reside

A little of the truth in you refuses to die

The world is a circle

So no matter how far you roam

You can't help but touch home girl

[Hook]
