Long way from home, it's hard to trace track
Closer to where I'm headed, regret if I look back
I've seen enough loss from where I was placed at
I need so much high, it's makin' me wave back
Feeling disconnected from where I was raised at
Still a Eastside baby, I never could change that
I guess I'm a needle in haystacks
Been around the world, I'm making my way back
Flashbacks to five, remember they drove by
Shot up the whole crib, I see it with closed eyes
And to this day now, I'm feeling my heart race
A sudden loud noise, I'm back in the same place
I feel for my son, he show me the same face
The one when you realize your innocence ain't safe
Traumatic situation he was forced to face
And niggas run up in your crib while I'm miles away

Mm, and if I find my way back home
I hope the palm trees keep on swingin'
Let the ghetto bird keep on singin', ooh
And if I find my way back home, uh
I hope the soul-stealing ones are bringing
Just open up if the doorbell ringin', yeah
When I had my family door in
When the last time we had a fam' reunion?
Childhood gone, aunt moved to Vegas
Them Long Beach trips on the blue line raised us
In the classroom, bumpin' Graduation
Singin' off to it with no concentration
I wonder if my teachers know I'm family famous
It's in my DNA, I'm just a product of greatness, yeah
What's the latest? Update us
I'm guilt-trippin' on a hiatus
'Cause everybody can't go inside the elevator
I tell 'em what they wanna know and tell the truth later, yeah
Where you at? Getting booked, it's the path that I took
Tap in with the real me, it ain't Blxst overlooked
Every now and again, gotta check on my kin
Get my dogs out the can 'til they family again

Mm, and if I find my way back home
I hope the palm trees keep on swingin'
Let the ghetto bird keep on singin', ooh
And if I find my way back home, uh
I hope the soul-stealing ones are bringing
Just open up if the doorbell ringin'

Yeah, and when you find it
You gotta take the time to organize it
Designate a place that's safe, but never hide it
You can put up on the shelf, but stay reminded
That this is the pressure that made you a diamond
This is the soil that housed you, this climate
Just so happens to be just right for your shinin'
A priceless design worth the plight 'cause it's timeless
And limitless, well-balanced, yeah, the percentages
Fifty-fifty, negative, positive, same differences
That caught you slippin', taught you the principles, love, forgiveness
And discernment, you earned it, now you livin' it
The money is a given, but you richer in experience
Seen both sides of the coin and got to flippin' it
Seen sunshine, but the rain earned you your drip
And it's designer is the most high god, stayin' uplifted
'Cause you covered in spirit, it's apparent by your wisdom
Yeah, you may have lost your innocence early
But got acquitted when you stood up and defended your freedom to be authentic
