Come Back Home

[Verse 1]

I been gettin' tan in the shade like

I been gettin' burnt in the nighttime

They gon' try to gas me and take it back

They gon' try to put me in the pipeline

Of another star, potential raw, yeah

And then applause and then the fall

And then the awe and then the roar

From all the laughs and all the shame, I ain't fuckin' with it, yeah

So motherfuck a public image

You bitches can't Getty me (No)

I'm tryna be a beacon of resistance (Yeah)

Let it be wasn't meant for me

What be can't be what is if we gon' live

Take a second, take it in

If I gotta make it right or make it big

What's the way to live?

[Chorus]

Through my window, I see

The only place that I've ever known

But I'm changin' the metronome

Think I might have to let it go, yeah, yeah

I been findin' pace, not a schedule, uh

I ain't tryna race to eventual, uh

I don't need a date with no pedestal, no

Think I might, hold up

Through my window, I see

Not a state or a federal, no

The only place that I've ever known

If I leave, can I come back home?

[Bridge]

You raggedy motherfucker

Checkin'-your-phone-for-your-statusy motherfucker

All day and night, I sit around wonderin' how to make it right with you

I know you lonely, motherfucker

It's hard to love you

You know I want to

You know I forgive you

But why you so scared to leave this cocoon of doom where there's only half of you?

I plead you leave and don't come back too soon

Oh, you lil' bitch

[Chorus]

Through my window, I see

The only place that I've ever known

But I'm changin' the metronome

Think I might have to let it go, yeah, yeah

I been findin' pace, not a schedule, uh

I ain't tryna race to eventual, uh

I don't need a date with no pedestal, no

Think I might, hold up

Through my window, I see

Not a state or a federal, no

The only place that I've ever known

If I leave, can I come back home?

[Verse 2]

Fuck whatever kudos you throw, we livin' the who-knows

Got few bros, they sucios and they know who those

And we gon' be drinkin' while our kids play outside

Catchin' vibes under that moon, home bends but doesn't break

That's where I wanna end up, but that don't mean I'm gonna stay

I ain't tryna be one those dudes, favorite phrase is "I was gonna say"

Or bottled up killin' one a day, look

But don't take the pain for weak, yo, I know the game

If the ground you walk is cheap, then it won't sustain

Our floor lookin' more valuable than our ceiling

To the ones that got the power from the ones that do the fearin'

Me, I'm just the one that do the feelings

But also the one that do the healing

And I can't help them breathe if my mask ain't secured

Gotta find greener ones to know my pasture insured

Lookin' out the window

We don't know you 'round here, you new, boy

Fuck around and make you a moot point

Keep playin' with the prophetic

They need an addendum just to adjust they aesthetic

It couldn't be me, it couldn't be us, really

Come home to my baby, how your day went?

Well, I took the esoteric, made it layman's

And they probably still hatin', yeah
