School's out, it's 4 p.m.,
I walked beside the traffic with the beat bumpin' in my ears;
ignoring all the world's negativity that is near and walked through the usual.

I smell the Lord's Supper callin' me in;
I'm welcomed back;
I kill the meal like a shark attack, her knowing I made it back in one piece makes it feel like another day at home.

It's morning, some bullies are threatening to stand their ground;
Mama calls to check after the news broke out;
she is afraid to lose her only hope in life, and I'm no fool;
I know wrong from right, and If I get involved with the wrong crowd, I won't be keeping her company tonight.

So I instead have the beat bumpin' in my ears;
ignoring the world's negativity that is near;
passing the evil energy in order to return to the usual.

She welcomes her son back and says,
"You're home!"

You're home.

Cops are wildin', they're blazing the streets;
I'm praying they won't come after me.

I'm no crook,
I'm no serial,
maybe if I took off my hood, I can save her money on a funeral;
so I have the beat bumpin' in my ears;
ignoring the world's negativity that I hear;
strolling by death with no fear, I come back to the usual.

She hears life, callin' from the living room, "Hey Mama, I'm home!"

I'm home.
