Make It Home

[Intro]
Every time I wake up 'round my way
Every time I wake up 'round my way
They kill a nigga like me every day
So I gotta kiss you goodbye in the morning
I don't wanna leave you alone, but you know there's a chance
I won't make it home tonight to kiss you again (Yeah)
I just wanna be with you (Mm)
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you

[Verse]
Mama's cryin', youngin's dyin', there's more violence
Shit'll never change, but a nigga won't stop tryin'
On the drugs, he ain't thinkin' straight, my brodie gone
Can't blame him, these streets took his only one
Ain't no stoppin' war when there's too much battle lost
Tryna up the score, no rest 'til it's done
Body after body, it's beyond too far
Too deep in for the preaching and praying to God
Tell me what can change us
When the system want to keep us all in cages?
When they tell you you can dream and you can make it
In the city, you get left nameless and breadless
Stay up out the way
I feel your pain, my brother, but know you could still be great
I swear that there's a way out, you can find another way
That's what I told myself when I was right up in your place
Lookin' in the mirror with tears runnin' down my face

[Chorus]
Every time I wake up 'round my way
They kill a nigga like me every day
So I gotta kiss you goodbye in the morning
I don't wanna leave you alone, but you know there's a chance
That I won't make it home tonight to kiss you again
I just wanna be with you (Oh)
I just wanna be with you, oh
I just wanna be with you
Every time I wake up 'round my way
They kill a nigga like me every day
So I gotta kiss you goodbye in the morning
I don't wanna leave you alone, but you know there's a chance
That I won't make it home tonight to kiss you again
I just wanna be with you, oh
I just wanna be with you, oh
