Come Back Home

I had to leave to see How good I had it I had it I had to go to know How good I had it Would you have me if I come back home My mama said when I was six years old I would always sit up by the window I would always say this city way too cold Wish there was another place i could go She would ask where and I would say Where anywhere tell me where 'cause I'm scared If I'm here then I'll never see paradise I just wanna see paradise So I had to leave to see How good I had it I had it I had to go to know How good I had it Would you have me if I come back home Yeah I was datin' D for three years Then I broke a promise 'cause I had to go to college Thinkin' 'bout my tomorrows Then I met a Brina But of course I had to leave her 'cause the grass is always greener 'Cause theoretically she gave me everything i need But for whatever reason I ain't never feel like me I looked her in the eyes and said My heart isn't in me She looked me in the eyes and said Where is it And I said Where anywhere tell me where 'cause I'm scared If I'm here then I'll never see paradise I just wanna see paradise So I had to leave to see How good I had it I had it I had to go to know How good I had it Would you have me if I come back home Nothing better than my mama rice and beans All the sound the people yellin' on the street The lights when I land at JFK The cold wind when it hits me in my face I only feel the ground under my feet when Jazzy standin' right there next to me and Those the things that make me feel at home And that's the only paradise I know so I had to leave to see How good I have it I have it I had to go to know How good I have it How good I have it I have it So I'm comin' home Nothing better than my mama rice and beans All the sound the people yellin' on the street The lights when I land at JFK The cold wind when it hits me in my face I only feel the ground under my feet when Jazzy standin' right there next to me and Those the things that make me feel at home And that's the only paradise I know so I'm comin' home God bless you where are you You still at work Anyway call me when you get this message God bless we love you
