Come Back Home - Anthony Ramos

I had to leave to see

How good I had it, I had it

I had to go to know

How good I had it

Would you have me if I come back home?

My mama said when I was six years old

I would always sit up by the window

I would always say this city way too cold

Wish there was another place i could go

She would ask where and I would say

Where, anywhere, tell me where 'cause I’m scared

If I’m here then I’ll never see paradise

I just wanna see paradise

So I had to leave to see

How good I had it, I had it

I had to go to know

How good I had it

Would you have me if I come back home?

Yeah, I was datin' D for three years

Then I broke a promise 'cause I had to go to college

Thinkin' 'bout my tomorrows

Then I met a Brina

But of course I had to leave her 'cause the grass is always greener

'Cause theoretically she gave me everything i need

But for whatever reason I ain’t never feel like me

I looked her in the eyes and said, «My heart isn’t in me»

She looked me in the eyes and said, «Where is it?»

And I said

Where, anywhere, tell me where 'cause I’m scared

If I’m here then I’ll never see paradise

I just wanna see paradise

So I had to leave to see

How good I had it, I had it

I had to go to know

How good I had it

Would you have me if I come back home?

Nothing better than my mama rice and beans

All the sound, the people yellin' on the street

The lights when I land at JFK

The cold wind when it hits me in my face

I only feel the ground under my feet when

Jazzy standin' right there next to me and

Those the things that make me feel at home

And that’s the only paradise I know, so

I had to leave to see

How good I have it, I have it

I had to go to know

How good I have it (How good I have it)

I have it (So I’m comin' home)

Nothing better than my mama rice and beans

(Ooh, ooh, I’m comin' home)

All the sound, the people yellin' on the street

The lights when I land at JFK

(Oh, I’m comin' home)

The cold wind when it hits me in my face

I only feel the ground under my feet when

Jazzy standin' right there next to me and

(Yeah, I’m gon' come back home)

Those the things that make me feel at home

And that’s the only paradise I know, so

(I'm comin' home)

God bless you, where are you?
