No Place Like Home

Live long enough
And earn the right to see the ones you love die
The price to live long enough
Tears shed fears overlooked
Over the overbrook tossing goodbyes
Started from a righteous path
Prayed on bloodied knees
Soft breeze lully you to sleep
Every step we took
No regrets to look back on
Too scorned by everything we've seen
Cavalierly walk by
Stained over coat
Coat of armor to protect us from
Every dart thrown
Hone in on lessons took
On the chin
Shin splints from running
Gunning for truth
Back to the roots we strayed from
Will it all end
Before we begin to live again
Pilgrimage, war against inner self
No promises
Just willingness to give it all
Until we're seen again
Rethinking as it's sinking in
Blink and watch it evolve

Can you stand the rain
Even if it stains
And leaves a mark
Like Palestine
I got it in Ohio
Without moving coco
It almost drove me loco
So much pain, dark struggle
Haunted me like like Yoko
Watching her lover die
Losing everything that ever meant anything
It's sure to destroy your insides
Signaling a waking nightmare

Still there's no place like home
They say if you can make it in New York
You can make it anywhere
Shit I made it out Ohio
Too many dead friends to count
Put it on the bible
Life lessons recycled
Shout out to my tiò
Eighteen with big dreams
Got up out the C.O.
Music saved me
Ohio raised me
New York made
You see it in my Diddy bop
Harlem to Mt. Vernon Like Diddy
I feel like Pac
In love with two cities
More like Derrick Rose
Center stage out of place
I ain't come to dance for you
In the throws of life
No one place do I belong
Two places to call home
Tugging at my heart strings
The things that muffled me molded me
Comfortably moving through
The waves that smoothed this hard rock
Oceanside, pressure cooked
D that good dope
Flood the block

Still there's no place like home
They say if you can make it in New York
You can make it anywhere
Shit I made it out Ohio
Without moving coco
And it could have drove me loco
So much pain
Dark struggle haunted me like Yoko
In love with two cities
Yeah, they both mines
