Back Home (Intro)

Yo!
I grab a torch and light the way I'm just clearing the path
Might get burned along the way I reappear through the ash
Pat myself upon the back I persevered through the laughs
I made this outta scraps they wanna tear it in half

I ain't tryna take no pictures like I'm scared of the flash
Lately it's been different I been tryna embrace it
I had alot to say just ain't know how to phrase it
I had to wake myself out the matrix—

Took some time to readjust but now I'm back to the basics
Thought I had it locked had to find the key
Spent my whole life looking for equality
When all I needed was apologies

I been having nightmares, visions of a possible end
Really running outta time I ain't gotta pretend
Not a failure I was failed so I passed on the help
Good grades couldn't save me from the hand I was dealt

Tryna find a way back but ain't no signs on the road
It's a uphill battle I'm just climbing the slope
I grew up without a vote I'm still finding control
If my life a movie then I'm reassigning the roles

I watched friendships die as I tried to revive it
Niggas threw me out the plane I'm just tryna survive it
They don't wanna hear the truth what you want me to do?
If you helping me or not I make it outta the guje

See it clear it's time to multiply don't fuck with division
I see through the fake love I dont trust your opinion
Gotta crawl before you walk I'm keeping up the tradition
They won't kill my dreams middle finger up to the system

Ain't no gimmicks here this is raw talent
Lately I been drinking till I'm off balance

Hiding from my vices
Accounts is in the minus
Came from out the darkness now I'm turning up the brightness

From the gutter I'm still tryna climb out
Is it even worth it I'm still tryna find out

Never thought that it would take this long if I'm just being honest
Something gotta give cuz I'm so tired of being modest
Tired of being patient so I had to make a promise
Looked inside the mirror and I told myself I got this

Yea!

And I was telling the truth
Survive the war and then I get in the booth!

And I been tryna find my way back home
Looking for a sign I can't wait too long
Sticking to the plan I been switching up the focus
I been making changes I'm hoping that you notice

Hoping that you feel me hoping that it's real
Giving you the real me tell me how you feel
Opened up my eyes cuz this shit ain't what it seem to be
You will never know how much this really mean to me
