Sylvan LaCue - Crosswinds lyrics

[Phone beeps] [Voicemail: Sylvan's mother] "Hey Sylvan, it's me. Just calling to say that I miss you and to take care of yourself Hold on Sylvan, didn't I tell you to take out those pork chops?! And listen, don't get caught up out there in LA" [Hook: Sylvan LaCue] Oh yeah, it's good to see you I know I've been gone for way too long For too long I don't call as much and I know you've been blowing up my phone I know, I've been out here on the road It's crazy now Mama they love me Mama they love me And nothing compares to when When you open up your arms and hug me (yeah) And it's never been realer, it's never been realer It's never been realer, realer to come back home [Verse 1: Sylvan LaCue] Tell me you made me salmon and grits You know them home-cooked meals getting harder to come across And tell me Brianne's doing good at school It's been a bit tougher to be her bigger brother No sympathy, know it's rougher being a single mother I know that Pops been calling I know you sent his number, look I know he wants to talk it out, I know it's been two summers Just let me take my time, let's switch the topic How's Floyd? Is he still on his grind? You'll find your man...never mind How's Auntie Dee, and cousin Guida, Grandma Mae and Libby? Me and Ca**andra called it quits for good, I've been too busy Cali's been f**ing with me I know you stuck and miss me Appreciate your texts and well-wishes and Don't you dare get out your seat, I'll clean those dishes XXL was vicious You even told your coworkers to vote, it felt like Christmas It's been a minute since May 2012, La familia Lately this life's been feeling far from familiar Planted many seeds that I've been watering down Slowly accepting this industry, I'm part of it now That's when I promise you I'm only steps away from the crown But you just look at me and smile like, "I'm already proud, you've done well" [Interlude: Sylvan LaCue] Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah And it's never been realer It's never been realer No, mama I love you I love you Feels so good to be back home [Interlude: Sylvan's mother] Welcome back home [Verse 2: Sylvan LaCue] How you been doing lately? I've been moving crazy Father God forgive me, I know only you can save me Lost in the world, lost in the world Maybe success and happiness will come and validate me I've been acting brash as ever Know this sh** won't last forever Keep the fam, appreciate the past is weather Boy, you kept your act together You could've folded under pressure but you didn't did you? (yeah) You almost stayed but you had to go get it, didn't you? Did it, didn't you? (yeah) You could've sold you soul and had the glor', but you didn't did you? Yeah, you had some stumbles on this bumpy road, just know you ain't finished n***a No, no you ain't finished n***a But these days, my mind stray, I start to pray like "God I've lost perspective" Like maybe chasing Range's ain't too all impressive I just turned 25 but borderline I'm narcoleptic Some things have changed about my world and it's been hard accepting A wife and kids don't sound as bad as they used to sound I'm contemplating on that settle-down Cause I've been on this road for way too long [Outro: Sylvan's mother] "Make sure you call me when you land out there. Remember baby, you can always come back home if you need to. I love you"
