[Verse 1: Upper West]
I got my ticket
Fam yeah I'm coming
Damn, it's been a minute since I've seen where I'm from
And I, Want to glide to my nest in the east
I'm not dead, but I'm home, so I'm resting in peace
See I'm surrounded by the city
Wherever I go
Or breathe, I know
That I'm a take it with me
Look, Whether on top of the world, or top of the charts
That uptown, west side, lives in my heart
As I depart, on my mission in life
I close my eyes and I see the never diffident lights
I'm missing the nights, when we used to both stop time
See we'd lock hands, I got yours, and you got mine
Let's rewind, Now is not as pretty as it seems
And back then, all we had's the city and a dream
But time flies, Just like the good die young
And when the clock stops, I'll still count the place I'm from
My problem lately I been feeling so nostalgic
And everytime I'm back home, I solve it
I fell in love with a girl on my block
The same spot, where my Mom use to tell me to stop
When I got to the curb, slow down
Cars are coming fast now
So when I walk I always hear her in the back ground
These memories are really all I've known
So if I had a genie, I would wish to go back home
[Hook : Sarah Solovay]
Every time I sleep
One thing's haunting me
I dream of those streets
I miss my city
The life I used to know
The lights that used to glow
Let that truth be told
It's time to go back home
[Verse 2: Reef of Fortune Family]
Take me back, take me back man I miss it
Home was our kingdom, we were little princes
Hit up the homies when Im back sure we'll kick it
Travel back in the time so let me buy my tickets
Slow down, slow down, let me reminisce
Set me free, set me free, my deliverance
Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock
Press pause for a second and let the time stop
Momma don't cry Ill be back in the summer
To my boys that drifted I swear it is a bummer
Now I'm on the come up, man life so fast
And life changes quick, so lets cheers to the past
[Hook : Sarah Solovay]
Every time I sleep
One thing's haunting me
I dream of those streets
I miss my city
The life I used to know
The life that used to glow
Let that truth be told
It's time to go back home
[Verse 2: Gabriel Stark]
Kings of Leon, the recipe on
I'm coming, from the land where they compare me to Sean
It's like I'm, in a world where they tat up they arms
In an elevator going up, the doors are peed on, it's like I'm
Heaven's angel, I'm living it like a fable
Everybody's reaching out to connect with me like it's cable
But I can only make it stable, if I run it like a horse
And the dream can only happen if I let it take it's course
So let me cross you up (II), it's almost time to say it loud
Last summer, I was just another person in the crowd
Now I'm losing sight of greatness and I'm laughing while they hating
There's no need to chase the crown cause it's already been taken, gone
[Hook : Sarah Solovay]
Every time I sleep
One thing's haunting me
I dream of those streets
I miss my city
The life I used to know
The life that used to glow
Let that truth be told
It's time to go back home
It's time to go back home
It's time to go back home
Look how distant we've grown
I think it's time to go back home
