[00:11.00] Hey, this is the story of a young'n dreamin
[00:13.58] left his city to see if he could be what he dreamin'
[00:16.34] big city on his own shit
[00:18.24] but every now and then a nigga get home sick
[00:21.09] pick up the phone, holla at my partner he telling em, be warned
[00:25.10] a lot of shit been changing the time you've been gone
[00:27.80] the streets got meaner, the hoes got growner
[00:30.43] and went and got baby's the day they got a diploma
[00:33.22] damn, there'll be some niggas missing when you fly back
[00:36.22] if you black, they sending you to jail or to Iraq
[00:39.06] old buddy that we hoop with, with a bad chick and a fly lac
[00:41.71] anda gold chain, caught him on a merc, tryna buy crack
[00:44.79] damn homie, shit, in high school you was the man homie
[00:48.44] fick happened to you,

[01:01.11] I gotta leave, i wish I could stay
[01:03.71] but I'll be home for the holidays
[01:06.48] and to those that I used to know

[01:14.22] but I'm coming home for the holidays
[01:17.07]
[01:17.80] This is a story bout some puppy love
[01:20.59] but at the time boy, I was feeling like this must be love
[01:23.08] although now Im on my grown shit
[01:25.30] she mad as hell, a nigga still get home sick
[01:28.00] I was fresh up off a scholarship
[01:30.19] dressed like a black man in college shit
[01:32.31] got a little knowledge now Im following the politics
[01:34.95] but I still gotta holla at my old chick
[01:37.56] so sweet, so thick, girl pick up your phone, it's me
[01:40.70] she said "we aint homies no more"
[01:43.15] you go to college and you act like you don't know me no more
[01:45.96] girl, we got history semester seem so long
[01:48.65] the last time I seen ya baby you aint have no clothes on
[01:51.21] so if history repeats itself
[01:53.87] when I get home, girl its on, you aint gone need ya belt
[01:56.66] or your pants or your drawers, then we hit the rewind

[03:08.56] and maybe i should move up outta here to the place to be
