Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had to leave to see
How good I had it, I had it
I had to go to know
How good I had it
Would you have me if I come back home?
[Verse 2]
My mama said when I was six years old
I would always sit up by the window
I would always say, "This city way too cold
Wish there was another place I could go"
She would ask where, and I would say
[Verse 3]
"Where, anywhere, tell me where 'cause I'm scared
If I'm here, then I'll never see paradise
I just wanna see paradise"
[Verse 4]
So I had to leave to see
How good I had it, I had it
I had to go to know
How good I had it
Would you have me if I come back home?
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I was dating D for three years
Then I broke a promise 'cause I had to go to college
Thinking 'bout my tomorrows
Then I met Arina
But of course I had to leave her 'cause the grass is always greener
'Cause theoretically she gave me everything I need
But for whatever reason, I ain't never feel like me
I looked her in the eyes and said, "My heart isn't in it"
She looked me in the eyes and said, "Where is it?"
And I said
[Verse 6]
"Where, anywhere, tell me where 'cause I'm scared
If I'm here, then I'll never see paradise
I just wanna see paradise"
[Verse 7]
So I had to leave to see
How good I had it, I had it
I had to go to know
How good I had it
Would you have me if I come back home?
[Verse 8]
Nothing better than my mama rice and beans
All the sound, the people yelling on the street
The lights when I land at JFK
The cold wind when it hits me in my face
I only feel the ground under my feet when
Jazzy standing right there next to me and
Those the things that make me feel at home
And that's the only paradise I know, so
[Verse 9]
I had to leave to see
How good I have it, I have it
I had to go to know
How good I have it (How good I have it)
I have it (So I'm coming home)
[Verse 10]
Nothing's better than my mama's rice and beans
(Ooh, ooh, I'm coming home)
All the sound, the people yelling on the street
The lights when I land at JFK
(Oh, I'm coming home)
The cold wind when it hits me in my face
I only feel the ground under my feet when
(Yeah, I'm gon' come back home)
Jazzy standing right there next to me and
Those the things that make me feel at home
And that's the only paradise I know
(I'm coming home)
