[Hook: Adele]
Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
Round my hometown
Ooh 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 of my world
[Verse 1: Tandeace]
Wouldn't take nothing back
When I look back, been smacked
Cracked in the face with the back of his hand
Pushed down on the bed, pullin' on my legs
Said I wouldn't give it so he gon' take it
Flashback to my father leaving me
Sped up to my cousins grinding me
Slow down to my dying heartbeat
I was just a kid, you a big God
Why you let it happen, now I'm all scarred
Looking for your love, why you so far
Is you really real, I don't think you are
You don't got a heart, you don't got a care
When you ever show up, I ain't seen you there
I heard you were chasing me
Cause I couldn't see you facing me
Keep it real, you were really cold-casing me
Now I'm laying in this bed
Thinking in my head “why it always gotta end like this?”
Why I gotta be the girl that's always throwing up fists
Fighting through life all my life, did you write this?
Can you rewrite this, what you mean it's a gift?
More like a cross
What you did a coin toss gambling my life with the devil
That's supposed to get me on my heart, being rebel
Yeah I know that I could never think on your level
All I'm tryna do is understand, can we level?
All you need from me is to believe then it's settled
I'm giving you my heart and the chains like a medal
Burned by the fire, tried by the trier
So I will be the dollar and you can be the wire
Send me where you want, how you want, to the dier
I'll never take the credit, send it back to the buyer
[Hook]
[Interlude: ?]
What is wrong with the world?
Hostile in mind and engaged in evil deeds
What is wrong with the world?
You are the crown and glory of the creation of God
You were created to live and bring glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ
And instead, you are hostile to the one by whom and for whom you were created
That is what's wrong with the world
[Verse 2: Eshon Burgundy]
Who you prayin' to, what you believin' for?
Is you fake thuggin' like CB4 or is you pure?
Do you honestly believe there is a living God
How could you, why would you, if you never even seen Him before
My heart beats harder when I deeply contemplate the Father
Who am I to be exonerated when I face Your honor?
I'm guilty, filthy; man I got commas after my karmas
If I could add up my sin, I'd probably have a body count like Osama
Can I get it in, let me put it down, let me pick it up
Fill it up with rounds
Those are my thoughts, this is my heart
Take all my accolades and my crown
If I brought her back in the days, half of you'd be amazed
Got sin trapped all in my DNA
14, a guy robbed me and Safa Dean
Start questioning God, know what I mean?
Where you at, what's good
You know He wasn't in our hood
You know them boys had them weapons
My lil' brother said learn your lesson
Man we could have got murdered
Forget that money, yeah they burned us
The Lord did us a service
Threw them prayers up and He heard us
