[verse 1]
and word to my grandmama, my backbone forever
heart full of gold, she smile is warm weather
i learned best from watching from you
i learned never stop giving your all to make this world better
word to my mama, my backbone forever
heart full of gold, she smile just found treasure
you taught us how to call upon the name of jesus
that’s probably why i’m blessed like a thousand sneezes
i started writing rhymes when i was knee-high
stories told through a black kid’s eyes
i never lied that everything was fine at the neighborhood park
until the streetlights came on and the block turned dark
shawty thought it was smooth to sell drugs instead of school
i can’t say it’s right or wrong, i was trying to grow
i ain’t got time to regret ’cause the clock still moves
all we got is time but that’s temporary too
and the old heads said to be patient and wait
for my opportunity to be famous and great
they also said that the gr-ss is greener on the other side
well, how you supposed to know until you die
and then it’s too late
who makes the rules anyways?
every time i grab a pen, i try to start a rebellion
against a system that says it’s a blessin’ to be thrown in prison
rather be shot for being black and innocent
like those my options, we ain’t forgot it
those names just hashtags, we mourn our losses
we turned our faucets, drink water with caution
been the underdog for years but was steady barking

[pre-chorus]
and home is where the heart is, home is where the heart’s at
i put my heart in every line so you would know that
home is where the heart is, home is where the heart’s at
my village raised a king and i wanted you to know that

[chorus]
i’ll fall wherever you are
you can always go home
through the bad things you may do ’cause you to bruise
you can always go home

[verse 2]
and word to my lil homies
lil man and lil n
2006 spent as an adolescent
we thought the world ended at the end of section
at the end of the block, we played cops and n-gg-s
and pulled triggers on water guns for when the sun would come
hot as the midday, no shade my mom raised us up to have faith
but later we would learn that the universe gives and it takes us away
my heart breaks for my shawties that ain’t here today
the only thought i lean on is that the end of better place
i try to levitate for homies that i came up with
and grow to bits since we were kids
my cup runneth over the water death american
how this black men that take more of prison
that’s just another statistic
cultures appropriated, hoods are infiltrated
politicians are racist
public schools have painted white faces as history from beginning to end
they told me we progressed, but all i see is trends
and across the nation, we see trayvon martin’s
while preachers have received a blessing for the low payment
in 1999, took the new millennial millennials
tell a story through every video
sat-rday morning cartoons mixed with cereal
the late-night commercial with my homies like a serial
i ain’t tripping, yo i know that many things are meant to change
and lookin’ at it today, i list up in change
and lookin’ at my circle today, only few people remain
but i still give you my heart so you can know from which i came

[pre-chorus]
’cause home is where the heart is, home is where the heart’s at
i put my heart in every line so you would know that
home is where the heart is, home is where the heart’s at
my village raised a king and i wanted you to know that

[chorus]
i’ll fall wherever you are
you can always go home
through the bad things you may do ’cause you to bruise
you can always go home
