J. Cole โ Home Soon Lyrics
Yeah
Love
Love, Love, Love
Huh
Love
Hmm
You Tell Me Itโs A Cold World, You Ainโt Never Lied
This For My Niggas Worldwide, Yes, Iโm Back Home
Ayy, Pay Attention To My Shit And Keep Your Head High
And Listen Up โcause This Ainโt Just Another Rap Song
My Nigga Seventeen, Never Had His Palms Out
He Grabbed Some Work From Out The Shoebox In His Bedroom
I Really Hate To Keep This Shit Inside My Mom House
Before She Sleep, I Know She Think Iโma Be Dead Soon
Consumed By The Perfume Of The Street Life
Engulfed By The Weed Smoke And The OE
I Often Think It Ainโt Gonโ Never Be No Peace, Right?
โcause If It Ainโt Another Nigga, Itโs The Police
He Hit The Door And Put The Dope Inside His Backpack
And Walk Across The Boulevard To Where His Aunt Stay
His Mama Stressinโ, He Been Helpinโ With The Bills Now
But He Been Slippinโ, Servinโ Niggas In The Broad Day
He Heard Some Sirens From Behind Him And His Heart Stopped
Five Cops On The Block Yellinโ, โNigga, Freezeโ
He Stood Still As The Trees With His Jaw Dropped
โAyy, Put Your Hands On Your Head And Get On Your Knees,โ Please
He Ran Fast As He Can And The Shots Rang
He Fell Face Down On This Concrete Tomb
Apologetic โcause Instead Of Sayinโ, โLove Youโ
His Last Words To His Mother, โIโll Be Home Soon,โ Damn
Iโll Be Home Soon
Yeah
You Tell Me Itโs A Cold World, You Ainโt Never Lied
This For My Niggas Worldwide, Yes, Iโm Back Home
Ayy, Pay Attention To My Shit And Keep Your Head High
And Listen Up โcause This Ainโt Just Another Rap Song
Just Another Rap Song, Rap Song
Huh
Nah, This Ainโt Just Another Rap Song
Huh
She Had A Problem With Them Bitches With The Long Hair
And Even Though She Keep Her Makeup And Her Weave Tight
Somehow She Couldnโt Help But Think, โI Donโt Belong Hereโ
They Tried To Holler While She Walk Beneath The Street Lights
She Tired Of Dealinโ With Them Niggas โcause Itโs All Games
Thatโs When He Said, โAyy, Can I Take You Out To Eat, Right?
And Get To Know Ya,โ She Said, โYeah, Thatโs What They All Claimโ
Before You Know It, She Was Smilinโ, He Had G, Right?
After A Little Hesitation, Let Her Guard Down
She Finally Let Him Get The Number And He Called Quick
They Clicked, Ayy, Fast-forward To The Bedroom
He Goinโ Up Her Shirt And Kissinโ On Her Soft Lips
She Let Him Hit And While He Dips Into The Bathroom
She Thinkinโ, โDamn, That Shit Was Good, But It Was So Soonโ
And Somethinโ Told Her, โGo And Check That Nigga Cell Phoneโ
A Text To His Girl Sayinโ, โIโll Be Home Soonโ
Iโll Be Home Soon, Damn
Iโll Be Home Soon
Hmm, Hmm
You Tell Me Itโs A Cold World, You Ainโt Never Lied
This For My Niggas Worldwide, Yes, Iโm Back Home
Ayy, Pay Attention To My Shit And Keep Your Head High
And Listen Up โcause This Ainโt Just Another Rap Song
Just Another Rap Song, Rap Song
Huh
Nah, This Ainโt Just Another Rap Song
Huh
