VERSE 1
I’m in a crowd of freezing people, huddled on the sidewalk
MY toes are cold, so to pass time me and this guy talk.
He’s goin to visit friends for the holidays.
I’m goin home since the first time I got to New York
to conquer the throne and though its only my first semester,
I’m not king of the city, so I’m feeling like a jester.
Someone gestures across the street and I blitz past her
Shoving my way onto the other bus, I have to be faster
At last there’s feelings in my extremeties as I rest in my seat
At this moment my mama’s prolly (probably) cooking something to eat
They’re so proud. And I don’t want to let them down
Or let them know sometime the crown is too heavy for me.
Will my friends see that I’ve matured or treat me the same.
Will they think I’ve gotten better or recognize my games.
The bus pulls off and I put these buds in my ear
I concentrate on the future ignoring butterflies and fear.

VERSE 2
I’m here!
A familiar city’s rising over the horizon
Driving by verizon’s high rise on I-95 and
we exit onto the streets where I grew up.
Center city same old Philly, I get my bag out of the bus
Dust myself off and fix my hair in the window.
Make contact on my cell and let them know that I’m in tow
and its cold, So I wait inside for a while.
Thinking of all the times I passed my this spot runnin wild
And I smile. A “honk” “honk” interrupts my thoughts.
Grab all of my stuff and the egg nog I just bought.
Open the taxi’s door and throw my stuff in the back.
Get in the passenger seat next to the driver of the cab.
He looks me up and down, then gives me a pound,
locking into a hug, I ask him “Whats up dad?”

VERSE 3
“Home” no matter how the outside world changes
the love inside will ALWAYS stay the same, its
not a place or a space it’s a state.
Residence is irrelevant, it takes much more to make a
“Home” as we ride I realize how much I miss this
I took me coming back just to have homesickeness.
Cuz when you spend all your time tryin to be who you wanna be
Sometimes you loose sight of who you are.
“Home” is who I am, who I’ve been it reminds me.
I have enough light to outshine these stars.
Cuz no matter where I go, and no matter what I do.
I’mma always me my mama’s lil boonkey-boo
And Imma always gonna be my dad’s number one lil man
And peoples always gonna be my number one fans!
Understand that’s why I hesitate to come back
Cause I wanna make ‘em proud. And go and show him that
I can exceed their expectations, somehow make it big
But all I need to do is come back and visit
And say I’m home (Ad lib)
