I Wanna Go Home

I wanna go home Don't wanna be here Feels like the essence of me is disappearing My light, my love, my family all gone And I am stuck right here Missing all that was and Fearing what is unknown I walk out into this wilderness Alone And all I can think is I wanna go home I wanna go home Don't wanna be here In this zone that embodies a future unclear So how do I fit into this place of white conformity or black alienation And this an alien nation to me So what am I to do Pretend to be white and say "like" and "ok" Hide all the parts of me that love my culture Drink all day and party all night The typical college scene known to both black and white But that's not me either So how am I to be in this alien nation Full of ambivalence and accepted degradation I long for the days called home Never know how good you had it till it's gone Thats what they say and usually it's true But for me I always knew The gem of my life, my family, and friends And this is supposed to be when my life begins But it feels like the end And all I can think is I wanna go home.
