Your baby is a monster You don't know the things I've done The sky that I sleep under You don't know what I've become Well, I think of you as comfort I tell my head that's who you are So take another mental picture Could you love me? Could you love me? All in all I'm not the same And I try to tell you everything All of the things I've done I could never come back home All in all I'm not the same And I'm scared to tell you everything All of the things I've done Would you let me come back home? I wanna come back home I wanna come back I wanna come back home Yeah I need to tell you thank you And I think that you're the one You don't see what goes on in me Or all the damage that I've done Yeah I think of you as comfort I tell my head I have your soul So take another mental picture Could you love me? Could you love me? All in all I'm not the same And I try to tell you everything But all of the things I've done But you never come back home All in all I'm not the same And I'm scared to tell you everything Look at all of the things I've done Would you let me come back home? I wanna come back home I wanna come back I wanna come back home Love me, and hold me, and hug me, take me back Love me, and hold me, and hug me, take me back Love me, forgive me, and hug me, take me back Love me, forgive me, and hug me, take me back Love me and hold me I want to come back I want to come back home Where you go I'll follow Could you love me? Could you love me? All in all I'm not the same And I've tried to tell you everything Look at all of the things I've done But you never come back home All in all I'm not the same And I'm scared to tell you everything Look at all of the things I've done Would you let me come back home? I wanna come back home I wanna come back I wanna come back home

To all my killers and my hundred dollar billers To emo kids that got too many feelings He held the register open while he counted her change I was next in line which meant I was invisible From where I stood I could see that the till was full He didn't look the type to play superhero So I stepped forth and paid for my cigarettes Crept out the stores front door to chase a little breath Fangles in my head, shake the song off Another manic Monday night, its gonna be a long walk A car pulled up, a fixed up Cutlass A woman and a child climbed out and left it running They went inside of the deli, placed an order With the extra dollar fifty bottled water 'cuz the daughter's Picky When they came out mommy gave me a glance That said, man can love an angel but he's got to take the chance Already knew the deal, I lit one up and walk, So they got back in the Oldsmobile, belted up, and took off. Thug love on the corner by the Walgreen's Looking at me like I'm just another square saltine As I get closer I notice that they showing each other sketches Out of their notebooks, reminded me of my old roots I walk pass with a nod and a reminisce Swear to God hip-hop and comic books was my genesis! Respect the life and the fashions of the children It's the only culture I've got, exactly what we've been building All of a sudden I'm in front of some man No he's a young'in but he's got a gun in his hand He looks fifteen, he looks frantic, no he looks afraid Immediately apprehensive 'til I heard him say "Do you want this? It's not mine, I promise! I found it on my block in between a couple garages! Didn't wanna leave it for a child to stumble over! I don't even know how to hold it!" It was a thirty-eight, the poor man's machete Held it in my hand, thinking damn man it's heavier then Expected, Wedged it behind my belt buckle Knowing that it's evil, even thought that I could smell trouble The extra strength felt weak, But over there on the corner saw what I needed and proceeded to Cross the Street Put the heat in the mail box to loose it Figured that the post office knows what's best to do with it Mosey down the road thinkin' 'bout the old, I used to roam this zone with two feet of snow Right here, this used to be a record shop I've gotten love, I've gotten drunk, I've gotten beat up in that Parking lot. I've had my Lake Street pride for three decades These alleyways, and these streetlights have seen my best days Before I was a germ learning how to misbehave, All the way to the grave, South Side is my resting place Took a right on Lyndale, I'm getting near But then the road became empty and the people disappeared. The clouds ran away, opened up the sky And one by one I watched every constellation die And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star I should've known, walked all the way home To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone No matter where I am, no matter what I do, I'm always coming back home to you. They can leave me for dead, they can take away my true, I'm always coming back home to you. Through the lies and the sins that ride the wind that blew, I'm always coming back home to you. As sure as the life in the garden that you grew, I'm always coming back home to you. No matter where I am, no matter what I do, I'm always coming back home to you. If only I had known what you already knew, I'm always coming back home to you. From the heaven I've had to the hell I been through, I'm always coming back home to you I wanted to make a song about where I'm from You know Big ups my hometown My territory, My state, but, I couldn't figure out much to brag about, Well, Prince lives here! We got ten thousand lakes! But wait, The women are beautiful! To me they are... And we're not infested With pretentious movie stars... And it hit me, man, Minnesota is dope If only simply for not what we have But what we don't Its all fair It ain't out there! It's in there! It's in the mirror, Behind the breast, Under the hair! "Follow the dream," Doesn't mean leave the love Roam if you must, but come home when you've seen enough I love New York and "Cali" But I ain't movin', Too over-populated Saturated with humans And I'm not big on rappers, actors, or models, If I had to dip, I'd probably skip to Chicago. None of this Is a diss, No one, No where, Like damn I'm from Minnesota Land of the cold air Too many mosquitoes and a fair share of egos But like my man Sabe says "That's where my mommy stays!" So if the people laugh and giggle when you tell 'em where you live Say "shh...", say "shh." And if you know this is where you wanna raise your kids Say "shh...", say "shh." If you're from the Midwest and it doesn't matter where Say "shh...", say "shh." If you can drink tap water and breathe the air Say "shh...", say "shh." Got trees and vegetation in the City I stay The rent's in the mail And I can always find a parking space The women out number the men two to one Got parks and zoos and things to do with my son The night life ain't all that, But that's okay, I don't need to be distracted by the devil everyday! And the jobs ain't really hard to find, In fact, you could have mine if you knew how to rhyme! This is for everyone around the planet That wishes they were from somewhere other than where They're standing, Don't take it for granted. Instead, take a look around, Quit complaining and build something on that ground! Plant something on that ground! Dance and sleep on that ground! Get on your hands and knees and watch the ants walk Around the ground! Make a family! Make magic! Make a mess! Take the stress, Fill your motivation, And build your nest! It sucks that you think where I'm from is whack, But as long as that's enough to keep your ass from coming back. And with a smile and a hint of sarcasm he says "I beg your pardon, but this is my secret garden!" So if the people laugh and giggle when you tell 'em where you live Say "shh...", say "shh." And if you know this is where you wanna raise your kids Say "shh...", say "shh." If you're from the Midwest and it doesn't matter where Say "shh...", say "shh." If you can drink tap water and breathe the air Say "shh...", say "shh." If the playground is clear of stems and syringes Say "shh...", say "shh." And if there's only one store in your town that sells twelve-inches Say "shh...", say "shh." If no one in your crew walks around with a gun Say "shh...", say "shh." And if you ain't gonna leave 'cause this is where you're from Say "shh...", say "shh."

Boy boy boy boy Wraps his arm around a skinny thing Naked around, naked around, naked around Naked around the middle She's a sleepwalker with an expensive bag Cruising cubicles Cash thrills Cruising and thinking, a cap and hood Straps hanging down your black legs (Pig pig pig pig Stick that word out at your best mark Remember, remember, remember, remembering) All your sundays come back to haunt me I like to hurt myself like this sometimes What you want from me this time Do you want a spoon Carrying another wound Like an addiction When you caught your affliction I'm in a rage, i'm in a rage, i'm in a rage I knew i refused to hand it over Burn me, burn me, burn me, burn me I know what's going to happen next (Stood at the next table touching the lips with love) Okay now it's clear you can look Clean clean There's something (chromium) Tattooed dad is getting dirty And a (tired thing, boooze) Off with your head off with your head Your razor wire beauty You're going straight, you're going straight, you're going straight But sometimes you gotta show them I like to hurt myself like this sometimes What you want from me this time Do you want a spoon Carrying another wound Like an addiction When you caught your affliction

To be loved is a thrilling sensation, as thrilling as can be Though it happens in every nation, they greet if differently Every mademoiselle with pasoolala, every Englishman talks to his patter Every spittin' Venetian goes tra la la and the Irish say Mother Machree But when I look at you and I thrill like I do, there is only one thing I can say Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy To know that you love me by heaven above me I never expected to pick you off the vine (The others will try and try and try and try and try) (To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye) But when they approach you, I'll keep them in line By telling them oh boy, oh boy, oh boy you're mine La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la Certain characters hi-diddle-diddle when cupid comes along Some mechanics shift gears in the middle and drummers kick the gong Every cowboy I know hollers yipee-a-ay Every clown in the circus goes hoopla Every sailor in port hollers anchors aweigh And an Indian gives you a ugg! But when you hold me tight like you're doing tonight There's only one thing I can say Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh, boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy To know that you love me by heaven above me I never expected to pick you off the vine (The others will try and try and try and try and try) (To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye) But when they approach you, I'll keep them in line By telling them oh boy, oh boy, oh boy Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy you're mine
