Make It Home

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't always do what I should

But I do what I gotta do

You've been at the bottom, you see the hunger inside of you

Don't say what you won't do

Cus it can all change

When the going gets tough it'll drive you insane

See I done dodged a couple shots

Served a couple blocks

Hit a couple corners tryna shake a couple cops

A broke a couple rules

Didn't graduate from school

Cus I was busy hustling, man, I thought that shit was cool

See I gotta keep it real with you baby

Cus the shit I used to do is what made me

And I'm hopin I ain't gotta go back to the trap

Cus we really know that we don't want that

But if I don't make it home tonight

Tell my mama that I love her

Leave some flowers for my brother

Girl I love ya

But if I don't make it home tonight

Take some money to my sister

I don't ever want her chasin after niggas

Cus where I'm from

Niggas outchea dyin every day

And they ain't no bad, ain't they just tryna make a way

And I ain't no different

So if I get missin

These are my last wishes

I hope you get them right

Girl if I don't make it home tonight

I know it's harsh

But this is how I feel, girl it's comin from the heart

I hope it doesn't end the way it had to start

Cus it started out bad but I made it this far

But everyone here ain't trynna see me make it

Or they only wanna see me win so they can take it

Cus I know it's hard to find a job

So niggas kill and rob

There's a chance that I won't make it here tomorrow

Being honest

Cause I gotta keep it real with you baby

Cus the shit I used to do is what made me

And I'm hopin I ain't gotta go back to the trap

Cus we really know that we don't want that

But if I don't make it home tonight

Tell my mama that I love her

Leave some flowers for my brother

Girl I love ya

But if I don't make it home tonight

Take some money to my sister

I don't ever want her chasin after niggas

Cus where I'm from

Niggas outchea dyin every day

And they ain't no bad

ain't they just tryna make a way

And I ain't no different

So if I get missin

These are my last wishes

I hope you get them right

Girl if I don't make it home tonight

Would you miss me? Would you miss me?

Would you walk up to my casket? Would you kiss me?

My life is schizophrenic, I'm just tryna stay sane

Pour a cup full, hope it take away the pain

I said you know

Came from the projects, nigga

Don't care if it kill me, I die, I'll stay in the projects

You know I'm fresh as a motherfucker, in case that I die tonight

Got a lot on my mind, you know that I'm high tonight

I left that black hublot at home

So really I don't got the time

My nigga got by a quarter, heard that he dropped the dime

Failure's no option nigga, you out of yo fuckin mind

Mixin my life and my freedom fool

So ain't none of you stopping my

But if I don't make it home tonight

Tell my mama that I love her

Leave some flowers for my brother

Girl I love ya

But if I don't make it home tonight

Take some money to my sister

I don't ever want her chasin after niggas

Cus where I'm from

Niggas outchea dyin every day

And they ain't no bad, ain't they just tryna make a way

And I ain't no different

So if I get missin

These are my last wishes

I hope you get them right

Girl if I don't make it home tonight

But if I don't make it home tonight

Tell my mama that I love her

Leave some flowers for my brother

Girl I love ya

But if I don't make it home tonight

Take some money to my sister

I don't ever want her chasin after niggas

Cus where I'm from

Niggas outchea dyin every day

And they ain't no bad, ain't they just tryna make a way

And I ain't no different

So if I get missin

These are my last wishes

I hope you get them right

Girl if I don't make it home tonight
