I Want To Go Home But I Can'T
I lived in the ghetto for 18 years
I missed the
bake beans
lemon heads
Italian ices
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
I miss the basketball courts
Chilling with my homies
And those long talks about
how we we're going to be star's one day
Home is what you make it
It might sound crazy about
what I am going to say
I love the ghetto
Everyday was a struggle
But I still manage to find ways to smile
From telling the mommy jokes
From when me and my homies
entering the store in China Town
and hearing the lady
Shout out
HURRY UP AND BUY
HURRY UP AND BUY
And the community barbecues
I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
But I can't
Because I died chilling with my homies
at a burger joint in Los Angeles California
Please stop the gun violence
