Make It Home Lyrics

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

I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you

Mama's crying, youngin's dying, it's more violence
Shit'll never change, but a nigga won't stop trying
On 'em drugs, he ain't thinking straight, my brodie gone
Can't blame him, these streets took his only one
Ain't no stopping war when it's too much blood lost
Tryna up the score, no rest till 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 this?
When a system out to keep us all in cages
Where they tell you you can't dream and you can't make it
In the city, you get left nameless and brainless
Stay up out the way

I feel your pain, my brother, but know you still could be great
I swear that there's a way out, you could find another way
That's what I told myself when I was right up in your place
Looking in the mirror with tears running down my face

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

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
