Hometown Hurricane

[Intro]
(I'm in a hometown hurricane)
(I'm in a hometown hurricane)

[Verse 1]
In the same old hood, in hand-me-down clothes
Just the same old jit spinnin' out of control
Just a kid from commerce city tryin' to get it right
Scared to end up like my sister turnin' to the pipe

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I'm in a hometown hurricane
Everythin' around me would fall like rain
Had to learn things the hard way
Like findin' 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

[Post-Chorus]
(I'm in a hometown hurricane)
(I'm in a hometown hurricane)

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I'm in a hometown hurricane
Everythin' around me would fall like rain
Had to learn things the hard way
Like findin' 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

[Post-Chorus]
(I'm in a hometown hurricane)
(I'm in a hometown hurricane)
