Hometown Hurricane Lyrics

In the same old hood

In hand-me down clothes

Just the same old jit

Spinning out control

Just a kid from commerce city

Trying to get it right

Scared to end up like my sister

Turning to the pipe

How does anyone get sober

With deals going down on every corner

In a town you have to look over your shoulder

Momma just wants to see her kids grow older

I'm in a hometown hurricane

Everything around me would fall like rain

Had to learn things the hard way

Like finding silver linings in all the pain

Had the curtains pulled

Staring out the window

Had to let it pour

Had to let that wind blow

I'm in a hometown hurricane

But every storm runs out of rain

I'm in a hometown hurricane

I'm in a hometown hurricane

White picket fence dreams

Finally in my control

Got the same outlook

With some brand new clothes

Still that kid from commerce city

With a brand new life

Sister done with the struggle

Since she found the light

That's why I gotta stay sober

Happiness is just around the corner

Never gave in to the devil on my shoulder

Momma still gets to see her boys grow older

I'm in a hometown hurricane

Everything around me would fall like rain

Had to learn things the hard way

Like finding silver linings in all the pain

Had the curtains pulled

Staring out the window

Had to let it pour

Had to let that wind blow

I'm in a hometown hurricane

But every storm runs out of rain

I'm in a hometown hurricane

I'm in a hometown hurricane
