[Verse 1: Dom Kennedy]
And we.. hang on the corner like a lamp post
Mom favorite singer Mr. Vandross
Dean wanna search through my Jansport
"Dom take this rent up to the landlord"
'95 Windsor Hills city champ
Hit Orville Wright, got my city stamped
The 439 was my city van
n***a hella cool, but don't get em amped
sh**, we try to live the best of it
So take what you need and leave the rest of it
Write your goals down, what you expect from it?
Baby on the way, keep them checks coming
Streets real hard, but the test wasn't
Should've went to cla** with the rest of em
But f** it, now my name with the best of em
Woo!, he 19 in the Lex thuggin'
Made a right turn on my old street
n***as outside, chillin' lowkey
It's 12:47 Mr. Police
f** it, helicopters get no sleep
Pillow on my head tryna drown it out
You can call me when you're down and out
When the cops come and surround the house
Crenshaw n***as run the town, I'm out
[Hook: Dom Kennedy]
Please make it home safe
Please make it home safe
Please make it home safe
Just make it home safe
Yup
Yup, Yup, Yup
[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
Dead up in the J's off of August St
Pops drove a turqoise 280 Z
Playing Tracy Chapman, we was watching "Heat"
Shoot out in the alley make it hard to sleep
59th & 5th at my Granny house
Uncle Reggie spilling Schultz on my Granny couch
The lesson was never go the addict route
To deal with mines? I probably pull an automatic out
60th & 10th, cable with the chip
12 gauge behind the door plastic where you sit
I told them I would do it, talked a lot of sh**
Came back home after all the trips
Pillow on their head tryna drown it out
You can still call me if you down and out
When the cops come and surround the house
Crenshaw n***as run the town, I'm out
[Hook]
Please make it home safe
Please make it home safe
Please make it home safe
Just make it home safe
Yup, yup, yup, yup
