Chorus 2x - Shaka Lish
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
Verse 1
I wonder where my people at, can't see them in the crowd
Visions of a better day, when we all use to smile
Over some home cookin' neck bone's collard green
Now it seems that the fam is looking for another green
So we argue over things, tell what that really brings
Hatred at our door and she know how to make us scream
Seen a lot of momma's cry, seen a lot of father's die
But that means nothing when your fam is on some you and I
Beef to third degree, wishing for their eulogy
Cold shoulder's long stares, lungs full of cold air
Computer type love but we censored all the software
Wonder where that dream went, life of a good man
The time that we spent, we all tried to make a stand
Huh, they just lost in the paper trail
Vapors on the ground but they swear they can see a well
Well, this a sad reality yeah!
Chorus 2x - Shaka Lish
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
Verse 2
Praying for my fam cause if life taught me anything
That they can be the d**h of all that you could dream
It seems what I seen got me doubtin' everything
From the house to cars filled with them ohs and ahs
The life of a gentleman, is what I'm trying to settle in
But the fam keep askin why you trying to be American
Good home nice wife life of a married man
Now they got their hands out looking for them dividends
They asking me they telling me, looking for that payout
Lost in there poverty I guess I'm there way out
I'm looking in that mirror and I can't see no clearer
The pain that's inside got me colder than November
I'm asking where my heart went, cause I feel this opening
Running from my fears but I fear hate closing in
Yeah, this the story real man
Trapped by his feelings as he sinks in the quick sand, huh
Chorus 2x - Shaka Lish
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
Bridge 2x
Huh, If you coming broken home
Then you understand every line in this song
An you living how you living cause you all alone
Listen here you can make it so remain strong
Chorus 2x - Shaka Lish
We don't go back this time
For a place to call my own
For a place that I call home
