Homecoming lyrics

[Intro]

And you say Chi city!

Chi city! Chi city!

[Hook: Chris Martin]

I'm coming home again

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm coming home again

[Verse 1]

I met this girl when I was 3 years old

And what I loved most she had so much soul

She said "Excuse me lil homey, I know you don't know me

But, my name is Windy and I like to blow trees"

And from that point I never blow her off

Niggas come from out of town, I like to show her off

They like to act tough, she like to tow 'em off

And make 'em straighten up their hat cause she know they soft

And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown

In the nighttime her face lit up, so astounding

I told her in my heart is where she'll always be

She never messed with entertainers cause they always leave

She said it felt like they walked and drove on me

Knew I was gang affiliated, got on TV and told on me

I guess that's why last winter she got so cold on me

She said "'Ye, keep making that keep making that platinum and gold for me!"

[Hook]

I'm comin' home again

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm comin' home again

Comin' home again

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Now I'm coming home again

Maybe we can start again

[Verse 2]

But if you really cared for her

Then you wouldn't have never hit the airport to follow your dreams

Sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her

It always seems like she talking 'bout me

She said, "You left your kids, and they just like you

They want to rap and make soul beats just like you

But they just not you" and I just got through

Talking 'bout what we tryna do: just not new

Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong

I guess you never know what you got 'til it's gone

I guess that's why I'm here and I can't come back home

And guess when I heard that? When I was back home

Every interview I'm representing you, making you proud

Reach for the stars so if you fall, you land on a cloud

Jump in the crowd, spark your lighters, wave 'em around

If you don't know by now, I'm talking 'bout Chi-Town!

[Hook]

I'm comin' home again

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm comin' home again

Comin' home again

Maybe, do you remember when

Fireworks at Lake Michigan

Oh, now I'm coming home again

Comin' home again

Maybe you, do you remember when?

Fireworks at Lake Michigan

Oh, now I'm comin' home again

Maybe we can start again

[Outro: Chris Martin]

Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh

Comin' home again

Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh

Coming home again

Maybe we can start again
