[JAY SUPREME]
Sometimes i see how far I've come
And i take a look back and remember
There's no place like home
[HOOK]
Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooooh, the people i've met
Are the wonders of my world, Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world, Are the wonders
VERSE 1
Ok now welcome to my city, this is Brooklyn, you should visit
This is where i use to kick it, with my homies, i would spit it
In em Nikes, them white Tee's, them all blue Yankee fitteds
Let that Era live forever, for who ever wears it different
I can feel it in my soul, i feel it in my spirit
Its the greatest of the places, where the greatest ever did it
Even if they change codes, or areas i been in
It will always be the Home, where that nigga Jigga did it (Yes)
Right before i ever killed it on the mic, man i would vision
How to get it off my paper, so then later i can rip it
Then i open up my eyes, realizin that im livin
Out a dream, that i seen, u pinch me, i can feel it (ouch)
Her presence is a present, i wrap it up with lyrics
Then present it to my present, so u know that im gifted (Woo)
If it wasn't for my Home, i probably wouldn't be it
Man, welcome to my home, u should really come and see it, round my
[HOOK]
Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooooh, the people i've met
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
Get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
VERSE 2
Let me tell bout this borough fore' tomorrow comes to past
Where i borrow all my morals, and the sorrows that i have
The origin of my sins, origins of the bad
Nostrand Avenue J be the oracles to my swag
(FROM) where i counted the digits, (FROM) where i studied my math
(FROM) where i founded the lyrics, i scribbled up in my pad
(FROM) where i started to talk, (FROM) where i started to crawl
(FROM) Where i started to walk, before i started to fall
Yea, i carried it all, my bruises, scratches and scrapes
But i never covered the scars, i let em see the mistakes
That i manage to always make, damn it i can't erase
If i made it, then save it, remind not to remake
Cuz yesterday is tomorrow, but tomorrow just a day
So i borrow my tomorrow from my yesterdays today
Then return em to the future, so could see a display
How my pass had a future, before i grew in this place, call my
[HOOK]
VERSE 3
I remember all em days, remember all em nights
I remember all my pain, remember all the plights
I remember all the rain, cuz it delay me all my flights
All the days, before the stages and the lasers, and the lights
All the days, before the pages and the phrases, that i wirte
All the mazes, i was raised in, its amazing how im slight
Remincin over chillin like a villain all my life
And how my mama wasn't workin, but she purchase all my Nikes
I appreciate the struggle and the muscle that she had
That's the muscle that use to move the struggle that we had
Always keepin god first, even when you at your last
When you keepin god first, he will never keep you last
This is more than a reminder of a minor, missin home
This is more like a reminder if u kinda, missin home
We will always be together, we'll never be apart
And if u lookin for a tour, i can take you to parts
Jay Supreme released Hometown Story on Sat Feb 22 2014.
