Lyrics:
to go home oh Lord I want to go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make
the street rebellion
Said if he go to jail he take his lick he never telling
Grew up in foster homes ran away ain't feel no love
Headed to the street
here in this land, my heart is in Ireland.
The land of the old folks is calling to me."
Near a coal mine in Wales, by a roadside cafe,
A young girl
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother
Father figure strained by allegation
Good intentions means less than ever now
Goodbye sweet young thing

From the "welcome home" to the kick out
Reach into a rabbit, pull a trick out
Preacher preaching to a faggot with his dick out
Hard times call for
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother
infected with a curious nature
The welcome mat said, "God bless this home," not "God damn thy neighbor"
They can repeat history but can't recycle paper
They
oh Lord I wanna go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars by
the depths
Y'all go let the malice breed
Until it fosters death
I just don't get the joke
Funny
Usually I'm one with the punchlines
Used to be a prodigy
Now I
dollar homes, that increase as I get older
Do you like what it's like to go to school in a Rover?
And sure, daddy was much colder, but look at my new fancy
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
I dreamed about them cotton fields of home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old pappy, sister and brother
fields at home.
I dreamed about my mother,
Dear old Papa, Sister and brother,
I dreamed about that girl
Who's been waiting for so long.
I want to go
pollinated by the "Be"
Pac called it the rose that rose from concrete
How do you define divine that finds street?
"Hip bop," the color of my leaves
Not
don't go near
Climb that tree or interfere
If you do, the old folks say
There's an awful price to pay
Old Thekwane, the hamerkop
Down by the river,
still alive
Lord ain't called me home
Built to survive
Foster homes, abuse, addiction...
Reinforce the pain
Old cold nights still cut like a knife
Never
This for all my country folk
Slamming them Caddy doors
Sitting out on the porch
Fresh from head to toe
This for all my Southern kin
Be proud
at my folks like
Oh
Wait
Like I'm on a roll like
Oh
Wait
Foot down from the go like
All time gas in my go time pack
Breakin down earth by hand like toph
Well, I'm not old, but in my short life, I've seen so much with these eyes
Most folks'd close 'em. That's why I keep mine open wide
A starved soul can
Stay by my lone all seven
Had to ghost, on old folks I can't keep round no
Niggas know how it goes tryna keep me down low
I can't fold, on my soul,
somethin' on an ugly folk
Well-known flow, man I got this shit from Simpson Road
Rather be goin' home insteada hearin' his own fo'
A drop top, flip flop,
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City
And I dreamed about the cotton fields and home
I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sister
That go to show this ass
Kicking ain't gon bother nigga
Cause it's right back where
You started nigga
Being a son of a Harlem nigga
Now you was made by
oh how I wanna go home
Home folks think I'm big in Detroit City
From the letters that I write they think I'm fine
But by day I make the cars by
