Coming Home

Daddy's really comin home, just hold tight

I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time

Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry

'Cause I don't know when I'll be home

Ever since I was young, it's been my dream

To be successful, doin this music thing

Music is a part of my soul

I'll be sixty years old, still on the road

A grown ass man tryin to make a living

A grown ass man makin grown man decisions

Relax; I don't want you to work

Let me go out here and put in the dirt

I'll buy you a skirt, brand new Coach purse

Whenever I leave, I know it still hurts

What, you want a watch, a bracelet, or a chain?

How about my chest? A tattoo of your name

Man I'm sick of all this luggage that I'm rattling

Trust me I'm sick of fights and all this traveling

Two weeks in the UK, three days in Hong Kong

It won't be long, I'll be home

Daddy's really comin home, just hold tight

I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time

Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry

'Cause I don't know when I'll be home

Look, your daddy has to hit the road

And I know you're getting old enough to notice that I'm gone

And I know I'm your best friend, the one that you look up to

Some people think I'm overprotective but I just love you

And even though I'm gone, I'd rather be home wit you

And no matter where I'm at your daddy is gon' miss you

You're my little man so be nice to your baby sister

And give mommy a big hug for daddy and kiss her

'Cause I know she gets tired at times I feel guilty

I wish that I could take y'all wit me

But it's crazy out here and I don't wanna expose you

To the frustrations of this rap game that I go through

And honestly, I don't even do it for me

I do it so we could live life comfortably

And that's why I wear y'all proudly around my neck

And I don't care who last said it daddy has your respect

and just know that...

Daddy's really comin home, just hold tight

I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time

Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry

'Cause I don't know when I'll be home

Man, here comes the van

I wanna thank Mathew Knowles for giving me a chance

Got the advance now it's time to hit the streets

And I'll be home in three and a half weeks

What college you goin to? That's your decision

Just know that I'll be here to pay your tuition

The only daddy you know, and that's on the real

And I been takin care of you since Murray Ill

I moved down south, big old house

Got you two horses and a lake full of trout

And Sundays, I put on my new house shoes

Lookin at TV, watchin the Lions lose

I miss Papi, Pug, Pepper and Patches

Man I can't go to sleep on that brand new mattress

Even though, I make music in the band

Big Boi and Dave see you at Lake Ann

Daddy's really comin home, just hold tight

I just don't know how long I'll be gone this time

Just keep my picture on the wall, baby girl don't cry

'Cause I don't know when I'll be home
