Home (Windy)

[Intro: Kanye West]

I wanna tell you a story about...

It's like a love story

Kinda hurts though

[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]

Go ahead, roll it up and pass it 'round

'Cause lately's been a whole lot of bull[shit] going down (Okay)

A lot of soldiers ain't make it through this year (Right)

So let's just celebrate that we still here, and

Whoa, never leave me alone

Tell 'em holla at ya boy, 'cause I'll be comin' home

I'll be comin' home, yeah

Never leave me alone, yeah

Tell 'em holla at ya boy 'cause I'll be comin' home

I'll be coming—

[Chorus Adlibs: Kanye West]

First of all, my name is Kanye To The...

I just wanna tell my story to all y'all

I just wanna see if—if you can figure out what I'm talking 'bout, okay?

[Verse: Kanye West]

My homie called me like, "What up, man?"

Not from Florida, but what up, fam?

It's been a whole lot of hatin' again

And if they hatin' on me, damn – what up then?

I met this girl when I was three years old

And what I loved most, she had so much soul

She said, "Excuse me, little homie, I know you don't know me

But, uh, my name is Windy and, yo, I like to blow trees"

And from that point, I'd never blow her off

[Niggas] come from out of town, I like to show her off

They like to act tough, she like to toe 'em off

And make 'em straighten up they hat 'cause she know they soft

And when I grew up, she told me how to go downtown

And at nighttime, her face lit up, so astound–in'

I told her in my heart is where she'll always be

She never mess with entertainers 'cause they always leave

She said, "It felt like they walked and drove on me

Knew I was gang affiliated, got on TV and told on me"

I guess that's why last winter she got so cold on me

She said, "'Ye, keep makin' that platinum and gold for me!"

But if you really cared for her

Then you wouldn't've never hit the airport

To follow your dreams

Sometimes I still talk to her

But when I talk to her, it always seems like she talkin' 'bout me

She said, "You left your kids, and they just like you

They wanna rap and make soul beats, just like you

But they just not you," and I just got through

Talkin' 'bout what [niggas's] tryin' to do just not new

Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong

I guess you never know what you got 'til it's gone

I guess it's why I'm here and I can't come back home

And guess when I heard that? When I was back home

Any interview, I'm representin' you, makin' you proud

Shoot for the stars, so if you fall, you land on a cloud

Jump in the crowd, spark your lighters, wave 'em around

If you don't know by now, I'm talkin' 'bout Chi-Town

[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]

Go ahead, roll it up and pass it 'round

'Cause lately's been a whole lot of bull[shit] going down (Okay)

A lot of soldiers ain't make it through this year (Uh-huh)

So let's just celebrate that we still here, and (And what?)

Whoa, never leave me alone

Tell 'em holla at ya boy, 'cause I'll be comin' home

I'll be comin' home

Never leave me alone, yeah

Tell 'em holla at ya boy, 'cause I'll be comin' home

I'll be coming—

[Outro: John Legend]

I'll be coming home

When I get there

I'll put my arms around ya and hold ya

Hey, I love you

Goddamn, I love you

I love– I miss you, uh-hey!

I'll be coming home

Chi-Town, I miss you, I love you, uh-hey, yea-eahh!
