[Verse 1: JusBlue]
I left the nest broken hearted and teary eyed
The shell of my own self, no one can say I didn't try
Cause in my eyes I saw forever
Guess for her that'd be pretending
Drop my eyes, say goodbye, hello to a new beginning
I was winning in disguise
Was too damn naive to even recognize
The blessing at hand this was my time to expand and become a man
But I was stuck somewhat chained to the past tryna make it last
Mama wanted a scholar but I had different plans
Took a chance with my music, continue writing raps
With that became infatuated with twisting gra**
Skipping cla**, partying with my n***as, and kicking back
I lost some important time that I could never get back
Leaving a couple homies and my brother laying in a casket
Depression I tried to mask it with O.E
Was at a lost for words
Trapped in a haze of marijuana and no sleep
Lonely so I returned back home
My choice for leaving
Was to tighten up the screws, my girl is voice of reason
Now it's back to what I believe in
New way of thinking back in my layer
Burning to rise again like a phoenix
[Verse 2: MOOSE]
Up working on my genius
Scheming in the lab just tryna put it down so the whole world sees it
Hero they deserve, not the hero that they needed
So I'm back on the high score, still tryna beat it
On that part 3 sh**, last of the trilogy
No not the remix, more of that history
No ambitions, you win some if it is meant to be
They say third time's a charm, guess we shall see
Took a little while but I'm back in here
It took some getting used to this atmosphere
Like when I learned how to walk the first time
Or fourth grade mother's day wrote my first rhyme
Bet back then what she thought in her mind
Her son'll be a junior in college by this time
Not even knowing, that me then going
Would lead to me knowing that road wasn't mine
Always behind all the school work
Too busy on the life what we do first
But soon as the partying end
I wrote 10 page paper worth a 100 percent
That's when I realized school wasn't my sh**
Cause even when I did good I knew school wasn't it
Since I wasn't sh**, time turn the hustle the hustle legit
Give up everything else for what I want to the end
So I went back
[Hook 2x: Kyra]
Wherever you are, I'm right there with you
No matter how far
I'm running back home
I'm running back home, back home
[Verse 3: MOOSE]
Hoping this decision does amount to success
Even though for now it only amounted to stress
And even though it never allows us to stretch
I still live forever no doubts and regrets
Been through sh** I can't announce to the press
I never been the type to go sounding depressed
Man I'm more the type to go an hour of rest
To wake the f** outta doubters who slept
Cause if it ain't sunny, hey I ain't complaining
I'm in the rain doing a buck 40 hydroplaning
It's been 365 since 775
702 is coming along fine
Flying back home from the 415
With a stopover flight to the 619
Really ain't no other way to do it
Cause one day I'ma win, and then I'm gon lose it
Hopefully by then I figured out the rubik
That its bigger than the puzzle or the hustle, or the music
Bigger than the side of town that we repping
Bigger than the money that we throw around reckless
Cause none of it will last, no matter how you stack
All the world a stage, everyday's an act
And when the curtain close every story gets a wrap
So remind me again where you are on the map?
