Solar Return (Explicit)

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 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 a
Went to battle with the devil, came back with the medal tucked
Clothes burnt fire on my chest, what the **** is up
I be like nothing much
All these damn years I been ******* 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)
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 **** 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
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)
