Hometown - Wax, Intuition

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

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 shit 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 shit 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

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

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 fucking visit

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

It’s just hard to be at a barbecue and not drink man.

It’s like watching

pornography for hours on end and just not touching yourself at all

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
