John Legend
Coming Home (Demo)
[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Whatever you owe us, we want more
It's hard beating the odds when you was growing up poor
Why am I buyin’ Rollies? I got 20 for sure
Still connect witchu, it's still hid in the drawer
With no Js on, I'm still lookin’ to score
You see they gave us crack, then started wagin' a war
Uh, all these lies, they steady tellin' me
Before Obama, we had Eric B. (Woo)
Or Tony Lewis out in D.C
The '80s kingpins, gotta free them
All these faces, they ain't believe in
If no child's left, then how can we leave them?
[Bridge: Pusha T]
So just know you're not alone
My n***as gone are coming home
This is the dope boy song for the dope boys gone
Let 'em know it’s still snowin’
[Chorus: John Legend]
Y'all show love for me
You ain’t got nothing to prove
Just know that I still got love for you
Y'all show love for me
Then I'm gon' tell you the truth
Know that I still got love for you
[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Uh, I do it for my big Benz drivers (Drivers)
For my street-corner survivors (Survivors)
For my n***as that miss The Wire (Woo)
And throwback mamis, that won’t retire
Reminiscin' on the days
When the trips was Cancún and the bottles got sprayed
You can't relate 'cause you wasn't there
Nah, you wasn't hot, let me make it clear
Y'all was breakin' into cars, we was breakin' bad
When y'all was fightin' dogs, we was racin' Jags
This the life for the fast
Ain't no future, ain't no past, we won't worry 'bout the crash, uh
Now it's jail poses and club pictures
Airbrush backdrops and jail visits
This the dope boy song for the dope boys gone
Let 'em know it's still snowin'
[Chorus: John Legend]
Y'all show love for me
You ain't got nothing to prove
Just know that I still got love for you (Oh yeah)
Y'all show love for me
Then I'm gon' tell you the truth
Know that I still got love for you
[Verse 3: Pusha T]
I'm speakin' to the soul of my black native bros
Who ain't get to go to school like a J. Cole
Who ain't have a silver spoon or a bankroll
Who weren't taught the golden rule, but they made do
Free lunches and apple juices, uh
Food stamps, ashamed to use 'em
You ever lived with the user?
Shared a bed with abusers, that's the worst way to lose 'em
[Bridge: Pusha T]
So just know you're not alone
My n***as gone are coming home
This is the dope boy song for the dope boys gone
Let 'em know it's still snowin'
[Chorus: John Legend]
Y'all show love for me
You ain't got nothing to prove
Just know that I still got love for you
Y'all show love for me
Then I'm gon' tell you the truth
Know that I still got love for you
[Outro: John Legend]
Oh yeah, know that I still got love for you
