J. Cole - Home Soon Lyrics
Official




Yeah
Love
Love, love, love
Huh
Love
Hmm

You tell me it's a cold world, you ain't never lied
This for my niggas worldwide, yes, I'm back home
Ayy, pay attention to my shit and keep your head high
And listen up 'cause this ain't just another rap song

My nigga seventeen, never had his palms out
He grabbed some work from out the shoebox in his bedroom
I really hate to keep this shit inside my mom house
Before she sleep, I know she think I'ma be dead soon
Consumed by the perfume of the street life
Engulfed by the weed smoke and the O.E.
I often think it ain't gon' never be no peace right
'Cause if it ain't another nigga, it's the police
He hit the door and put the dope inside his backpack
And walk across the boulevard to where his aunt stay
His mama stressin', he been helpin' with the bills now
But he been slippin', servin' niggas in the broad day
He heard some sirens from behind him and his heart stopped
Five cops on the block yelling, "Nigga freeze"
He stood still as the trees with his jaw dropped
"Ay, put your hands on your head and get on your knees, please"
He ran, fast as he can and the shots ring
He fell face down on his concrete tomb
Apologetic 'cause instead of saying, "Love you"
His last words to his mother, "I'll be home soon"

Damn
I'll be home soon
Yeah

You tell me it's a cold world, you ain't never lied
This for my niggas worldwide, yes, I'm back home
Ayy, pay attention to my shit and keep your head high
And listen up 'cause this ain't just another rap song

Just another rap song, rap song, huh
Nah, this ain't just another rap song, huh

She had a problem with them bitches with the long hair
And even though she keep her makeup and her weave tight
Somehow she couldn't help but think, "I don't belong here"
They tried to holler while she walk beneath the streetlights
She tired of dealin' with them niggas 'cause it's all games
That's when he'd say, "Ay, can I take you out to eat right?"
"And get to know ya"
She said, "Yeah, that's what they all claim"
Before you know it, she was smilin', he had G, right
After a little hesitation, let her guard down
She finally let him get the number and he called quick
They clicked, ay, fast forward to the bedroom
He going up her shirt and kissing on her soft lips
She let him hit and while he dips into the bathroom
She thinking, "Damn, this shit was good but it was so soon"
And something told her, "Go and check that nigga cellphone"
A text to his girl sayin', "I'll be home soon"

I'll be home soon, damn
I'll be home soon

You tell me it's a cold world, you ain't never lied
This for my niggas worldwide, yes, I'm back home
Ayy, pay attention to my shit and keep your head high
And listen up 'cause this ain't just another rap song

Just another rap song, rap song
Huh
Nah, this ain't just another rap song
Mmh
