Sierra Denise - No Place Like Home lyrics

[Chorus] They say there's no place like home But home ain't the place for me And even tho I'm gone There's no need to wait for me Just pray for me [Verse 1: D. Ciano] This is something that they need to hear, cause people fear, leaving there Going on past a place called home, be prepared I tell em get away from all the places we would see as kids Cause the small minds'll try to tell you that your dreams too big But it's not… In fact big is subjective See I'm in tune, but finding you's the biggest objective There's opportunity, but you the opposition And my conscious told me to leave, don't be a contradiction And those who opt to miss him, thank you for your optimism But the knowledge in him will guarantee him a pot to piss in No ad-libbing this vast diction, I got a vision Plus I seek respect and not attention I'm from a place where self defense isn't martial arts, or Kung Fu My area's cold, they use Nines when they want to *Gun shot* Another dies, he was young too *Gun Shot* Who can save em? who's it up to? Me, that's why I left I'm blessed My city's known for steady committing theft, that stress Of being robbed of chances given community chess Like when we're robbed of answers, it's a**umed that we guess I guess, but I don't know no better Like how these women want Kings, but they ain't no Coretta's I focus better, music and dating don't blend but I mix that so I got enough exes to play Tic Tac Toe Whoa, the truth is for sale, why tell em a lie I love that I fell, I'll tell em goodbye I've jumped to inhale, this air in the sky I'm meant to prevail and destined to try No what if I fail, just what if I fly The brilliance in what I think it's only right they love me Plus I'm a monster with the ink, so on the Mic I'm sully And moving out of my house, I knew what tearing us apart meant Home is where the heart is but I became heartless [Chorus] [Verse 2: Loose Voltage] I'm in Doger stadium, all under her Jersey Arguing with the umpire, tryna tell me Theres no place like home well what about 3rd base I ain't done nothing, just came a long way Y'all don't know the half, I was sitting in Dekalb Feeling like I let down my fam, with the rest of the slaves If I can break free from the chains and the court as the judge looks me in my face Like he's just another young dumb thug, driving drunk from the club Using d**, f**ing s*uts, unloved, shooting guns, piece of scum from the slums Hmmm, it's time to clean up the streets I don't understand why you afraid of this new money A lot of people where I'm from never knew money My mind state was move to a new state LA LA blowing LA LA owww f** I'm doing in the Hills where they buzz you in Hanging around celebrities, like they my f**ing friends If it's an indoor pool, then I' jumping in In Silicon Valley searching for something real Yesterday I rode around in a Benz That was whiter than friends, full house, and both the Olsen Twins And put my banker on Playa Fly and Soulja Slim Talking bout that Soulja Life Mentality, still didn't get it My partner asked me how it feels to be inside of the City of Angels, away from all the danger And I explained uh, it ain't that much safer, but If this was heaven, y'all'd be considered sinners And get my mama on the phone, and tell her I can't come home Why? I got a vision and mission And to my partners a mechanic can't fix a broke engine If he's in the Hood with it [Chorus]
