Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming
[Verse 2]
I'm back where I belong, yeah
I never felt so strong, man
I'm back, I'm feeling like there's nothing that I can't try
And if you're with me put your hands high
[Verse 3]
If you ever lost your life before
This one's for you
Your dreams fulfilled, you rocking with the best
[Verse 4]
I hear the Tears of a Clown
I hate that song
I always feel like they're talking to me when it comes on
Another day, another dawn
Another Kesha, nice to meet you, get the math, I'm gone
What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on
It's easy to be Puff, but it's harder to be Sean
What if my twins ask me why I ain't marry they mom
Damn, how do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown
Shit, but I ain't finished growin'
Another night, that inevitable prologue
Another day, another dawn
Just tell Kesha and Theresa I'll be better in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to back to the place I belong
[Verse 5]
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
[Verse 6]
Hey yo, check this out
A house is not a home, I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones is gone?
And **** got the nerve to blame you for it
And you knew you would've took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it, and still feel it
And money can't make up for it, or conceal it
But you deal with it and you keep ballin', pour out some liquor, playboy
And you keep balling
Baby, we've been living in sin
'Cause we've been really in love, but we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your own, pick up the phone
[Verse 7]
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
[Verse 8]
Ain't no stopping us now, I love that song
Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told you that we won't sell it
'Til we back cruising through Harlem
These old blocks is what made me, save me, drove me crazy
Drove me away then embraced me for days
For all of my shortcomings, welcome to my homecoming
Yeah, it's been a long time coming
Lotta fights, lotta scars, lotta bottles, lotta cars
Lotta ups, lotta downs, made it back, lost my dog
(I miss you Big)
But here I stand, a better man
Thank you Lord
[Verse 9]
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
