Wax - Hometown lyrics

[Chorus] I been living in this city for a long while Sometimes I feel like I just need to slow down I'm packing up a bag I'm 'bout to roll out Headed back to my hometown 'Bout to take a little trip to my hometown [Verse 1: Intuition] When I left it was big city dreaming Traded tall trees for the cement Traded calm peace for the steep rent Cold for the beach But still head to mom's street for the reset Run to the midnight Sun gon' get right Me and my little bruh probably gon' fist fight And I don't have sh** to do My dad sick we listen to his music on the couch With the dog And just sit tight I lived life Where B.B. gun fights Hide and seek be fun nights Where the lakes stay freezy and the skeeters gon' bite Where your high school sweetie might complete your love life Where sh** talkers get beat up so you keep your tongue tight Been known to take a long walk down a dirt road And think about the glow the world shows after first snows Rave in the backyard Where the red fern grows I wasn't made to stay here I'm glad I had a turn though [Chorus] I been living in this city for a long while Sometimes I feel like I just need to slow down I'm packing up a bag I'm 'bout to roll out Headed back to my hometown 'Bout to take a little trip to my hometown [Verse 2: Wax] I watched a lot of television as a teen I used to see the screen as a window to a dream I wanted to be in it but so far away it seemed Had to leave my native land like Semmi and Akeem Moved myself to the west Put myself to the test Lots of ups and downs Lots of failures and success I'm a grown man now I think I'm changing for the best I used to want it all now I'm tryna want less I visit my hometown looking for some relaxation And every time I find a whole lot of inspiration Via conversations I had with a lot of good friends That do not look at life through no Hollywood lens And I probably would've been a different person if I'd stayed there Working 9 to 5 to afford the cost of daycare But, I was put on this Earth for something different I'd never move back but I'd love to f**ing visit [Chorus] I been living in this city for a long while Sometimes I feel like I just need to slow down I'm packing up a bag I'm 'bout to roll out Headed back to my hometown 'Bout to take a little trip to my hometown [Outro: Wax] It's just hard to be at a barbecue and not drink man. It's like watching p**nography for hours on end and just not touching yourself at all [Audio Snippet] You'll find yourself getting upset or irritated about things that usually don't irritate you, you know? Things that never bothered you when you were drinking every day, so... it's normal, it's part of it. Just try to relax and breathe and try to you know, just blow it off
