Hometown Blues - Jay-Way

Feels like I’m standing on top of a 20 story building

I’m about to take you on a ride

But tell me what I’m supposed to do when I got hometown blues

About to give my mom a hug and tell her I ain’t coming home tonight

Tell the world that imma make it to the top

77 know that number never lie

God with him so u know he never stops

And if they doubt hit em with the Diddy crop

Can kill a legend but you know he never dies

I live my dream I don’t know a 9 to 5

Remember days know that I was terrified

Went through hell on the road to paradise

You could tell I’m in a rush

By the way, I interrupt

Don’t compare to a rapper with a style that he adopts

I know a lot a people thought I’d never make it from the block

Aye I’m tryna leave a legacy before my body rots

Hooray, ayy, ayy, ayy

This my journey follow me like a parade

No more fear that ain’t in my DNA

My team blowing up like a grenade

Feels like I’m standing on top of a 20 story building

I’m about to take you on a ride

But tell me what I’m supposed to do when I got hometown blues

About to give my mom a hug and tell her I ain’t coming home tonight

Tell the world that imma make it to the top

77 know that number never lie

God with him so u know he never stops

And if they doubt hit em with the diddy crop

Can kill a legend but you know he never dies

I live my dream I don’t know a 9 to 5

Remember days know that I was terrified

Went through hell on the road to paradise

Been to a lot of places I’ve done seen a lot of faces

Kids trying to escape and wanna make it out the basement

Used to wanna be the greatest now they paying you for playlists

If they take me out the game I hope I sparked a generation

I keep in mind the seed that I sow

I light up the world ignite and give hope

While rich folks sniff coke with jokes on big boats

It’s more to life
