Finally Home Lyrics

So much time searching

So much time alone

Exploring the unknown

I'm glad that it's over

Yo I finally made it home

Yeah I finally made it home

Pops was outta there early

Cheated and got caught

Momma wasn't having it

She had to kick

Him out and I be

Imagining

How it would've molded me if

You know he hadn't been

Battling

Temptation and losing

Or even at the very least practicing

Safe sex

I'm looking in his casket and

I'm asking him

Why he couldn't come back again

And I ain't learn the truth til I was 30

At that point

It didn't even hurt me

But I had spent so many years doing women dirty

Comfortably

Guess the apple ain't fall far from the tree

I ain't deserve to be loved

But I ain't want to be

The person I was

Lucky for me

Someone could see

She gave me grace

Told her my history

And she told me my honesty paved the way

I let my gratitude steer me away from making the same mistakes

And now I'm finally home

So much time searching

So much time alone

Exploring the unknown

I'm glad that it's over

Yo I finally made it home

I finally made it home

Made a habit of adopting

Father figures

Any and every man was an option

My uncle would stop in

Take me for a few hours

Bring me back with a fresh haircut

That's a lot when

Nobody else is there and he knew it

But he was not him

Life was hard and all he was able to temporarily do was carry me through it

When I got in

Trouble he saved the day

But what I really needed was an example

A little guidance

On how to be self-reliant

From a man

Never met no one as close

Still

Anytime anybody's wings would spread I'd be under both

So many gems collected

I ain't know who I was

But I knew who I respected

I knew who I followed was reflective of the direction I was headed in

And eventually it would settle in

And now it's evident

That I'm finally home

So much time searching

So much time alone

Exploring the unknown

I'm glad that it's over

Yo I finally made it home

I finally made it home
