Raphael Saadiq - Coming Home lyrics

[Hook: Raphael Saddiq] Daddy's really comin' home, just hold tight I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry Cause I don't know when I'll be home [Bizarre] Ever since I was young (Yeah), it's been my dream (What) To be successful, doin' this music thing Music is a part of my soul I'll be sixty years old, still on the road A grown a** man tryin' to make a living A grown a** man makin' grown man decisions (What) Relax; I don't want you to work Let me go out here and put in the dirt I'll buy you a skirt, brand new Coach purse Whenever I leave, I know it still hurt (Damn!) What, you want a watch, a bracelet, or a chain? How about my chest? A tattoo of your name (Deedee) Man, I'm sick of all this luggage that I'm rattling Trust me I'm sick of fights and all this traveling (f** it!) Two weeks in the UK, three days in Hong Kong It won't be long, I'll be home [Hook: Raphael Saddiq] Daddy's really comin' home, just hold tight I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry Cause I don't know when I'll be home [Kuniva] Look, your daddy has to hit the road And I know you're getting old enough to notice that I'm gone And I know I'm your best friend, the one that you look up to Some people think I'm overprotective, but I just love you And even though I'm gone, I'd rather be home with you And no matter where I'm at your daddy is goin' miss you You're my little man so be nice to your baby sister And give mommy a big hug for daddy and kiss her Cause I know she gets tired at times I feel guilty I wish that I could take y'all wit me But it's crazy out here and I don't wanna expose you To the frustrations of this rap game that I go through And honestly, I don't even do it for me I do it so we could live life comfortably And that's why I wear y'all proudly around my neck And I don't care who last said it, daddy has your respect And just know that... [Hook: Raphael Saddiq] Daddy's really comin' home, just hold tight I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry Cause I don't know when I'll be home [Bizarre] (Beep beep!) Man, here come the van I wanna thank Mathew Knowles for giving me a chance Got the advance now it's time to hit the streets And I'll be home in three and a half weeks What college you goin' to? That's your decision Just know that I'll be here to pay your tuition The only daddy you know, and that's on the real And I been takin care of you since Murray Ill I moved down south, big old house Got you two horses and a lake full of trout And Sundays, I put on my new house shoes Lookin at TV, watchin' the Lions lose I miss Papi, Pug, Pepper and Patches Man, I can't go to sleep on that brand new mattress And even though, I mix music in the band Big Boi and Dave, see you at Lake Ann [Hook: Raphael Saddiq] Daddy's really comin' home, just hold tight I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry Cause I don't know when I'll be home
