Solar Return

I been a cynic
 Picked up the bottle and I swigged it to no limit
 Mama took it from me, did I say that I was finished
 I know she prayin' for my liver
 I know she think I'm playing when I say
 That I'ma give her everything she ever sacrificed to raise me
 I pop up in your city like a Banksy
 I made it 26 graduated from my list, no shackles on my wrist
 Went to battle with the devil, came back with the medal tucked
 Clothes burnt fire on my chest, what the fuck is up
 I be like nothing much
 All these damn years I been fucking up
 Showin' up in court with a button-up
 I been on a new wave
 On the board like a toupee
 CBD, alkaline water over kool-aid
 Little Kota tell me he ain't seen me in like two days
 Swear that little boy should be somebody that you thank
 I say that cause' he share me with the world
 From Clinton Hill to K-Town, sleeping on a greyhound
 Laughing on the Facetime, daddy always make time
 See you when I'm back home
 See you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)
 You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)
 Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
 You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)
 See you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)
 You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)
 Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
 You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)
 Uh, yeah
 And on to bigger better stuff
 From sleeping on the megabus
 I had to move around because I knew that it'd be better for us
 Metaphors I never taught, without wishin' I teleport
 Telegraph, send a message home from the hotel that I settle for
 Said I'm going overseas, I'm feelin' chosen, prophecy
 Life is what you make it, I just made it something I believe
 Opportunity a-knocked, it's at the door then I'ma leave
 But I'ma be right back, she know she don't like that
 California burn the industry I been on fire
 While I was looking for a break, like Ye on through the Wire
 Tryna convince the fam that one day I want to retire
 Right now everything good though, the universe in alignment
 I started hiding, all of my hobbies ain't know about it
 Until I had a product I'm proud of to post about it
 At any time I doubted my family would allow it
 Another year with the sun I'm gracious to go around it, ayy
 See you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)
 You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)
 Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
 You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)
 I'ma see you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)
 You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)
 Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
 You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)
 I went from feeling like I was a burden
 To I don't give a fuck if you don't like my person
 Never catch me begging for attention
 Only focused on the people in my section
 I appreciate the blessings
 Had too many devils in this life
 I revel in this life, I don't settle for this life
 I done kept riding with a broken pedal for this life
 If you still here I'm happy that he kept you in my life
 On the real, I don't want you here if you don't really wanna chill
 If you ain't for the better of the squad you can bail
 Spit your ass out like it's Jonah and the whale
 Wavin' to my haters cause' my boat is setting sail
 If I say I love you then that's where it ends
 You don't gotta have a title just to be my friend
 You can have it all, I won't ask you for a damn thing
 Welcome to my table it don't matter what you can't bring
 I told the labels I'ma do it independent
 But I met some good people so I keep the friendship
 My son don't even like me going to the store
 He be thinking it's another tour
 I'ma see you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)
 You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)
 Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
 You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)
 I'ma see you when I'm back home (See you when I'm back home)
 You know I'ma come back (You know I'ma come back)
 Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
 You know I don't want that (You know I don't want that)
