Home (Windy)

[Intro: Kanye West]
I wanna tell you a story about...
It's like a love story
Kinda hurts though

[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
Go ahead, roll it up and pass it 'round
'Cause lately's been a whole lot of bullshit going down (Okay)
A lot of soldiers ain't make it through this year (Right)
So let's just celebrate that we still here and
Oh, never leave me alone
Tell 'em holla at ya boy, 'cause I'll be comin' home
I'll be comin' home, oh, never leave me alone
Tell 'em holla at ya boy 'cause I'll be comin' home
I'll be coming—

[Interlude: Kanye West]
First of all, my name is Kanye to the...
I just wanna tell my story to all y'all
I just wanna see if you can figure out what I'm talking 'bout, okay?

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
My homie called me like, "What up, man?"
Not from Florida, but what up, fam?
It's been a whole lot of hatin' again
And if they hatin' on me, damn, what up then?
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most, she had so much soul
She said, "Excuse me, little homie, I know you don't know me
But my name is Windy and yo, 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 toe '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 astoundin'
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 makin' that platinum and gold for me!"
But if you really cared for her
Then you wouldn't've 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 talkin' 'bout me
She said, "You left your kids, and they just like you
They wanna rap and make soul beats just like you
But they just not you," and I just got through
Talkin' 'bout what [niggas] tryin' to 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
In the interview, I'm representin' you, makin' you proud
Shoot 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 talkin' 'bout Chi-Town

[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
Go ahead, roll it up and pass it 'round
'Cause lately's been a whole lot of bullshit going down (Okay)
A lot of soldiers ain't make it through this year (Uh-huh)
So let's just celebrate that we still here and (And what?)
Oh, never leave me alone
Tell 'em holla at ya boy, 'cause I'll be comin' home
I'll be comin' home, oh, never leave me alone
Tell 'em holla at ya boy 'cause I'll be comin' home
I'll be coming—

[Outro: John Legend]
I'll be coming home
When I get there
I put my arms around ya and hold ya
Hey, I love you
God-damn, I love you
I love, I miss you, hey, yeah!
I'll be coming home
Chi-Town, I miss you, I love you, hey, yeah!
