  • Back home
    Everybody's searching for somethin'
    But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin'
    Back home
    Ain't nobody hoping and praying
    'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em
    And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact that
    Life goes black when those lights go out
    But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own
    'Cause ain't a damn thing free
    Back home

    Back home / they holler "disciple" and "blackstone"
    Same block the freebase yo we trapped on
    Where our grandmothers marched / The guns clap on
    There's liquor stores, beauty supplies, and rap songs
    I travel the world just to come back to it
    The crib got a lot of soul like black music
    I'm attached to it
    In many ways this city raised me / and gave me
    The drama, honor, and bravery
    The streets seem hollow / when I go to Chicago
    It's cheap wine and sorrow
    Times is hard to swallow
    In search of God's tomorrow / I borrow words from the
    Bible / and use them for survival / gangs rival
    Signs painted on walls like hiero / glyphics
    I tell 'em that this is all tribal
    Used to do dirt / Shorty's goin' through the same cycle
    And trials like Michael / tryin' not to stay idle

    Back home
    Everybody's searching for somethin'
    But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin'
    Back home
    Ain't nobody hoping and praying
    'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em
    And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact that
    Life goes black when those lights go out
    But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own
    'Cause ain't a damn thing free
    Back home

    Back home it's not Compton but close
    The same problems exist and the pain throbbin'
    And folks are so common
    It don't / really bother us much we just swallow it / uh
    Crack the bottle and smoke / hope tomorrow something
    Magical happens that'll put me back in the biz
    But the chances of it acutally happening's kinda slim
    Back home / we get the good life at a glimpse
    In the form of a rap star, drug dealers, and pimps
    I'm back home

    I try my best to keep it together it's cold
    Like the Windy City streets of December
    I pace back and forth / looking for the courage to shine
    But can't lap the source / need something to nourish my mind
    I know we all lose quite a bit in life
    Only to gain some
    Life or the dark winding roads we came from
    But I move with the night / so I'm used to the shade
    And never lose sight / bringing truth back to the game

    Back home / We've got a lot of **** on our minds
    We're always behind on something cause there's not enough time
    And we're non-stop / bottom line / doing what we gotta do
    To get some food in the fridge and stay out of the hospital
    Back home there's people calling us hopeless
    People trying to tell us all we need is some focus
    But focus
    Focus is overrated
    Cause you see every blemish and mistake and can't change it
    Back home is Alvarado / K-Town and J-Town
    Or Little Tokyo for those that don't know
    Where figures shiver / living right in the littler
    Where kids write bigger / right inside the LA river
    On the concrete / a symbol of our everyday way
    Its that color and concentration over heavy and grey
    And by the time the ink dries on this page
    I'll be half a day away from the place where I stay
    Back home
    Everybody's searching for somethin'
    But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin'
    Back home
    Ain't nobody hoping and praying
    'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em
    And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact that
    Life goes black when those lights go out
    But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own
    'Cause ain't a damn thing free
