Kanye West - Homecoming lyrics

(feat. Chris Martin of Coldplay)

[CHORUS:]

Go ahead'n roll it up and pass it around...

Cuz there's been a lot of bullshit going down

A lot of soldiers they ain't make it through this year

So let's just celebrate that we still here and

Whooooa, never leave me alone

Tell 'em holla atcha boy

Cuz I'll be coming home

I'll be coming home

Never leave me alone

Tell 'em holla atcha boy

Cuz I'll be coming home

I'll be coming

My homie called me like, "What up, man?"

Not from Florida, but what up, fam?

There's been a whole lot of hating again

And if they hating on me, damn, what up then?

I met this girl when I was three years old

And what I love most, she had so much soul

She said "Excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me

But uh, my name is Windy, and yo, I like to blow trees" and

From that point I never blow her off

Come from out of town, I like to show her off

They like to act tough, she like to toe 'em off

And make 'em straighten up they hat cuz she know they soft

And when I grew up, she taught me how to go downtown

And in the nighttime, her face lit up, so astounding

I told her, in my heart is where she'll always be

She never mess with entertainers cuz they always leave

She said it feels like they walk and go from me

Knew I was gang affiliated, got on tv, and told on me

I guess that's why last winter she got so cold on me

She said "'Ye, keep makin' that platinum and gold for me"

But if you really cared for her

Then you wouldn't've never hit the airport, and followed your dreams

Sometimes I still talk to her

But when I talk to her, it always seems like she talk about me

She said, "You left your kids, and they just like you

They wanna rap and make soul beats just like you

But they just not you, and I just got through

Talkin' 'bout what he tryin'a do, just not new"

Now everybody go the game figured out all wrong

I guess you never know what you got til it's gone

I guess that's why I'm here and I can't come back home

And guess when I heard that, when I was back home

In the interview I'm representing you, making you proud

Shoot for the stars, so when you fall you land on a cloud

Jumpin in crowds, sparkin' lighters, wave 'em around

If you don't know by now, I'm talkin' 'bout Chi-town

[CHORUS: with variations]
