This House is Not a Home

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You see this house is not a home
Because the people that I love
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You see this house is not a home
Because the people that I love
I only see them through a phone
I'm always feeling by myself
Even though I'm never alone
Even though I'm not alone (yeah)

You see your family's all you got
But in the city people seem to have forgot
That all you got is not a lot
And all yo' bullshit got to stop (yeah)
And all yo' bullshit got to stop (yeah)

When I was back in school
Man I was just a little fool
I had to battle bullies
That would make me feel uncomfortable
And even though the principle and
Teachers knew that I was good
They always had to worry up my mama
About the constable

'Cause I was naughty
Doesn't mean I wasn't sorry
I was only just a little boy
Seeking knowledge in a hurry
I knew that I had to load the bag
And fill it up with up the money
I ended up learning how to live up this life
Without paying to study

Yeah, you
Don't need to spend no P's to learn
Na-na-na-na-na, yeah
Na-na-na-na-na, yeah
When I was walking home from school
I was delivering these orders
That would lift up all the weight
And make it easy on my shoulders

But the bullies though
They knocking me down
But I got older
I had to fight them off
And now these times are over
You see this house is not a home
Because you know that it's a rental

Need a land without a mortgage
Or no loan
And thats essential
Need a house on a farm
With a barn to ease my mental
I'll grow my own weed
And I'll grow some lentil

Yeah, you should not run away from your fears
(Yeah, you should not run, no, no, no)
When you face it, you go chasing your dreams
(All your dreams will come true)
When you don't admit
That you were wrong

You were wrong
You were wrong
All along again
And now you're feeling alone, alone
Alone again, again yeah

(You see this house is not a home)
(Because the people that I love)
I only see them through the phone
'Cause the people that I love
('Cause the people that I love)

Because the people that I love
I only see them through the phone (yeah)
You see this house is not a home
Because the people that I love
I only see them through a phone
I'm always feeling by myself
Even though I'm never all alone
Even though I'm not alone (yeah)

You see your family's all you got
But in the city people seem to have forgot
That all you got is not a lot
And all your bullshit got to stop
And all your bullshit gotta stop, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
