lirik lagu home - omar mansour

i was looking for hope
this record did that
i ain’t do it for rap
nah, i ain’t do it for plaques

hey
look

can tell a rerun’s after 2011, the stadium empty
construct a non~existent enemy enraged with envy
use that to monger fear and make promises empty
give us bread crumbs after we starved so they seem plenty
train stations named after martyrs
took it to the street cause life wasn’t easy, it got harder
the list of demands shortned, narrowed down to the bare minimum
freedom to choosе a leader, and have a say in our futurе, for starters
people looking forward to them salad days cause they ain’t eating
jumping rope with the poverty line i’m lucky i go to bed dined
middle class a story told to kids ‘fore they go sleeping
ain’t no in~between, you either get rich or die trying
people forget all that when we win a game man
maybe things are alright, maybe that’s been the plan
maybe we back to good ol’ days before all of this began
then all of that wears off when they need to pay rent

back and forth i go
to find my way back home
back and forth i go
to find my way back home
i owe it to only dad and mom not to the land
they did what they can
dad used to say you can love the land
if not much the government
they paid for mom’s chemo, though
ain’t had enough in the bank
actually twice, probably wouldn’t have managed without that program
rapping in my second tongue, ’cause i’m aiming for the sun
not the moon, the night’s been too long, still waiting for the dawn
tryna go distances none of my countrymen gone
sometimes i feel like i could be doing more than writing these songs
22 and still breathing, that’s a blessing
considering all that’s happened the last decade, it’s impressive
look at the bigger picture when i catch me stressing
remind myself of how far we made it and where we’re headed
not a one~man job, it’s only me, myself, and i
putting together these instrumentals, writing these rhymes
i’m my own worst critic, it’s the perfectionist in that soul of mine
wish the circle wasn’t as tight, gets kinda lonely sometimes
this is the debut, the budget non~existent
ideas and sk!lls too expensive
no amount of money can save a record if the sk!lls non~existent
i make up for that in spades
they be taking offense, think i’m throwing shade
it’s the chip on their shoulders, ego brittle as a soufflé
y’all missed your chance
better to not do it at all than do it too late
no matter how long the night gets the sunshine has been our fate
where i’m born and where i’ll die will always be my place
back and forth i go
to find my way back home
back and forth i go
to find my way back home

running in circles, tryna find
been too long a night
tryna find my way back home

why doesn’t it feel like it’s mine?
still tryna reconcile
tryna find my way back home

me, it’s all i’ve known since i could see
it’s all i’ve known since i could breathe
why does it feel like i’m in~between?

all i know, it’s all i’ve known since i was three
mother of the world
wish you could be
a mother to me

imma go back and forth tonight
imma go back and forth ’til light
hope i make it back before my time
imma go back, i know we going back
imma go back and forth tonight
imma go back to shore when right
hope i make it back before i die
imma go back home

imma go back to shore tonight
imma make it back to shore when right
imma go back for sure tonight
imma go back before i die, imma go

a toll on me
oh, it’s been taking a toll on me
i’m finally free, i’m finally free

taking a toll on me
oh, it’s been taking a toll on me
but i know that i can see
oh, i can see the sun is near

taking a toll on me
oh, it’s been taking a toll on me
but i know that i can see
oh, i can see that i am free

taking a toll on me
oh, it’s been taking a toll on me
but i know that i can see
i’m finally free, i’m finally free

it was all a dream
it was all a dream
it was all a dream
it was all a dream
it was all a dream
it was all a dream
it was all a dream
it was all a dream
