Home:Word

i gotta get get gotta gotta get home
hadn't thought it possible but i forgot my own road
thought i was so unstoppable, forgot my ego
then it toppled down like dominoes, a prodigal soul
but now not i'm running no more
took off my air mags
used to hate staring at myself, now i stare back
momma push my hair back, tell me a secret
you never know home baby girl till you leave it
used to think home was a physical place
a space where you live and you lay,
your head to rest and wake up on a typical day
an address for you to get deliveries made
but i'm home sick though, in my own zip code
wistful, swimming like a fish in a fish bowl
wishful, what am i searching for
i'm looking for a place where i don't search no more

tell you i'm used to, being used to
going through with the motions
but every time i'm away
everyday my thoughts just drive me insane
cause i feel, you prefer the world beyond oceans
looking out into space, to the place i know that's keeping my faith

it's hard to find to find the words, for something so basic
the simplest things can be most courageous
debated, yes but it's less complex
home is every moment i feel, god bless
home, is where i come back
all night we laugh and vibe and soul clap
home, i find that in friends
i find it in things, a life from within
home, is a song on a subway
the howl of the blues, to be free one day
home, is every true note
every real lyric and any new hope in
hope, is something to fight for
the soul of a man
AKA his life force
home, when you close your eyes
and you feel in your heart how your soul's alive

tell you i'm used to, being used to
going through with the motions
but every time i'm away
everyday my thoughts just drive me insane
cause i feel, you prefer the world beyond oceans
looking out into space, to the place i know that's keeping my faith

i gotta get get gotta gotta get home
i gotta got so lost, that i've forgotten the real goals
i gotta promise to be honest to my heart and my soul
i gotta get get gotta gotta get home

I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
i gotta cross potholes, gotta cross the whole coast
i gotta cross the opticals, that gotten me walkin so slow
i gotta get get gotta gotta get home

i gotta get get gotta gotta get home
i gotta honor my ohana, be a positive role
a role model, sons and daughters, called upon when alone
i gotta get get gotta gotta get home

i gotta get get gotta gotta get home
i got caught up cuz of my job became the boss of my soul
i got locked up, boxed in became robotic and cold
i gotta get get gotta gotta get home

i gotta get get gotta gotta get home
i got my momma papa home cookin hot on the stove
i love you momma pops, props, you made all that's possible
i gotta get get gotta gotta get home

i gotta get get gotta gotta get home
i know this road is rocky and I'm going far on my own
but this is my road, I'm gon' follow my own
i gotta get get gotta gotta get home

tell you i'm used to, being used to
going through with the motions
but every time i'm away
everyday my thoughts just drive me insane
cause i feel, you prefer the world beyond oceans
looking out into space, to the place i know that's keeping my faith
