"Hometown" lyrics
Ran away from my hometown
Tired of the old crowd
Got my heart outweighing my mind
If I just slowed down
Would I know what I know now
I was giving up on life
Praying that I don't crash
Listening to nobody
Everyday ignoring the signs
Take it on a new path
Second guessing everything
Never knowing what I'm gonna find
You can't outrun your demons
Gotta face 'em head first
Your soul way more important
Than your net worth
'Cause if your rich in spirit
You don't wait to text first
You go for what you want
You decide your self worth
Wear my heart up on my sleeve
Like it's printed on my shirt
When you make it out the mud
It's a blessing and a curse
'Cause you constantly reminded
Of the pain that you endured
I hope we all find peace
Before they lay us in the dirt
Are we working just to live
Or we living just to work
Are we settling for less than
All the things that we deserve
Lots forget to count their blessings
Most the time it could be worse
Can't be with me at my best
If you won't take me at my worst
Ran away from my hometown
Tired of the old crowd
Got my heart outweighing my mind
If I just slowed down
Would I know what I know now
I was giving up on life
Praying that I don't crash
Listening to nobody
Everyday ignoring the signs
Take it on a new path
Second guessing everything
Never knowing what I'm gonna find
Finally getting back on track
Like my name Usain Bolt
Same kid same dreams
Even rock the same clothes
But I don't got the same goals
I don't play the same role
Stop chasing fame bro
Nowadays I lay low
All these kids talking shit
On the internet fake smoke
This lifestyles take tolls
Never play it safe no
The people hurting most
Usually got the greatest souls
I don't do this for the credit
I don't care if they know
Doin' this shit for my girl
Doin' this shit for my kids
I'm not rapping just to
Buy a nice car and a crib
Thinking back on life
And all the crazy shit I did
Look the devil in his eyes
I ain't never went and hid
Ran away from my hometown
Tired of the old crowd
Got my heart outweighing my mind
If I just slowed down
Would I know what I know now
I was giving up on life
Praying that I don't crash
Listening to nobody
Everyday ignoring the signs
Take it on a new path
Second guessing everything
Never knowing what I'm gonna find
Tired of the old crowd
Got my heart outweighing my mind
If I just slowed down
Would I know what I know now
I was giving up on life
Praying that I don't crash
Listening to nobody
Everyday ignoring the signs
Take it on a new path
Second guessing everything
Never knowing what I'm gonna find
You can't outrun your demons
Gotta face 'em head first
Your soul way more important
Than your net worth
'Cause if your rich in spirit
You don't wait to text first
You go for what you want
You decide your self worth
Wear my heart up on my sleeve
Like it's printed on my shirt
When you make it out the mud
It's a blessing and a curse
'Cause you constantly reminded
Of the pain that you endured
I hope we all find peace
Before they lay us in the dirt
Are we working just to live
Or we living just to work
Are we settling for less than
All the things that we deserve
Lots forget to count their blessings
Most the time it could be worse
Can't be with me at my best
If you won't take me at my worst
Ran away from my hometown
Tired of the old crowd
Got my heart outweighing my mind
If I just slowed down
Would I know what I know now
I was giving up on life
Praying that I don't crash
Listening to nobody
Everyday ignoring the signs
