J. Cole – Home Soon Lyrics

Yeah
Love
Love, Love, Love
Huh
Love
Hmm

         

You Tell Me It’s A Cold World, You Ain’t Never Lied
This For My Niggas Worldwide, Yes, I’m Back Home
Ayy, Pay Attention To My Shit And Keep Your Head High
And Listen Up ’cause This Ain’t 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 I’ma Be Dead Soon
Consumed By The Perfume Of The Street Life
Engulfed By The Weed Smoke And The OE
I Often Think It Ain’t Gon’ Never Be No Peace, Right?
’cause If It Ain’t Another Nigga, It’s 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 Stressin’, He Been Helpin’ With The Bills Now
But He Been Slippin’, Servin’ Niggas In The Broad Day
He Heard Some Sirens From Behind Him And His Heart Stopped
Five Cops On The Block Yellin’, “Nigga, Freeze”
He Stood Still As The Trees With His Jaw Dropped
“Ayy, Put Your Hands On Your Head And Get On Your Knees,” Please
He Ran Fast As He Can And The Shots Rang
He Fell Face Down On This Concrete Tomb
Apologetic ’cause Instead Of Sayin’, “Love You”
His Last Words To His Mother, “I’ll Be Home Soon,” Damn

I’ll Be Home Soon
Yeah

You Tell Me It’s A Cold World, You Ain’t Never Lied
This For My Niggas Worldwide, Yes, I’m Back Home
Ayy, Pay Attention To My Shit And Keep Your Head High
And Listen Up ’cause This Ain’t Just Another Rap Song

         

Just Another Rap Song, Rap Song
Huh
Nah, This Ain’t 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 Couldn’t Help But Think, “I Don’t Belong Here”
They Tried To Holler While She Walk Beneath The Street Lights
She Tired Of Dealin’ With Them Niggas ’cause It’s All Games
That’s When He Said, “Ayy, Can I Take You Out To Eat, Right?
And Get To Know Ya,” She Said, “Yeah, That’s What They All Claim”
Before You Know It, She Was Smilin’, 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 Goin’ Up Her Shirt And Kissin’ On Her Soft Lips
She Let Him Hit And While He Dips Into The Bathroom
She Thinkin’, “Damn, That Shit Was Good, But It Was So Soon”
And Somethin’ Told Her, “Go And Check That Nigga Cell Phone”
A Text To His Girl Sayin’, “I’ll Be Home Soon”

I’ll Be Home Soon, Damn
I’ll Be Home Soon
Hmm, Hmm

You Tell Me It’s A Cold World, You Ain’t Never Lied
This For My Niggas Worldwide, Yes, I’m Back Home
Ayy, Pay Attention To My Shit And Keep Your Head High
And Listen Up ’cause This Ain’t Just Another Rap Song

Just Another Rap Song, Rap Song
Huh
Nah, This Ain’t Just Another Rap Song
Huh
