Songtext Come back home Marlon Craft

Come back home

I been gettin' tan in the shade like
I been gettin' burnt in the nighttime
They gon' try to gas me and take it back
They gon' try to put me in the pipeline
Of another star, potential raw, yeah
And then applause and then the fall
And then the awe and then the roar
From all the laughs and all the shame, I ain't fuckin' with it, yeah
So motherfuck a public image
You bitches can't Getty me (No)
I'm tryna be a beacon of resistance (Yeah)
Let it be wasn't meant for me
What be can't be what is if we gon' live
Take a second, take it in
If I gotta make it right or make it big
What's the way to live?

Through my window, I see
The only place that I've ever known
But I'm changin' the metronome
Think I might have to let it go, yeah, yeah
I been findin' pace, not a schedule, uh
I ain't tryna race to eventual, uh
I don't need a date with no pedestal, no
Think I might, hold up
Through my window, I see
Not a state or a federal, no
The only place that I've ever known
If I leave, can I come back home?

You raggedy motherfucker
Checkin'-your-phone-for-your-statusy motherfucker
All day and night, I sit around wonderin' how to make it right with you
I know you lonely, motherfucker
It's hard to love you
You know I want to
You know I forgive you
But why you so scared to leave this cocoon of doom where there's only half of you?
I plead you leave and don't come back too soon
Oh, you lil' bitch

Through my window, I see
The only place that I've ever known
But I'm changin' the metronome
Think I might have to let it go, yeah, yeah
I been findin' pace, not a schedule, uh
I ain't tryna race to eventual, uh
I don't need a date with no pedestal, no
Think I might, hold up
Through my window, I see
Not a state or a federal, no
The only place that I've ever known
If I leave, can I come back home?

Fuck whatever kudos you throw, we livin' the who-knows
Got few bros, they sucios and they know who those
And we gon' be drinkin' while our kids play outside
Catchin' vibes under that moon, home bends but doesn't break
That's where I wanna end up, but that don't mean I'm gonna stay
I ain't tryna be one those dudes, favorite phrase is "I was gonna say"
Or bottled up killin' one a day, look
But don't take the pain for weak, yo, I know the game
If the ground you walk is cheap, then it won't sustain
Our floor lookin' more valuable than our ceiling
To the ones that got the power from the ones that do the fearin'
Me, I'm just the one that do the feelings
But also the one that do the healing
And I can't help them breathe if my mask ain't secured
Gotta find greener ones to know my pasture insured
Lookin' out the window
We don't know you 'round here, you new, boy
Fuck around and make you a moot point
Keep playin' with the prophetic
They need an addendum just to adjust they aesthetic
It couldn't be me, it couldn't be us, really
Come home to my baby, how your day went?
Well, I took the esoteric, made it layman's
And they probably still hatin', yeah
