Homecoming

Song byKanye West
in AlbumGraduation

[Intro - Kanye West]

Yeee.

And you say Chi city,

Chi city, Chi city

[Chorus - Chris Martin]

I'm coming home again.

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm coming home again

I'm in home again.

[Verse 1 - Kanye West]

I met this girl when I was three years old

And what I loved most she had so much soul

She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but,

My name is Wendy and, I like to blow trees and,

From that point I never blow her off,

They can come from outta town I like to show her off,

They like to act tough, she like to tow em off,

And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft

And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown

And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding

And I told her in my heart is where she always be

She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave

She said it felt like they walked and drove on me

Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me

I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me

She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me

[Chorus - Chris Martin]

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm coming home again

I'm in home again

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Oooh, now I'm coming home again

Maybe we can start again

[Verse 2 - Kanye West]

But if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport,

To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her

It always seems like she talking about me,

She said you left your kids and they just like you

They wanna rap and make show beats just like you,

But they just not you and I just got to

Talking bout what she can try to do just not new

Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong

I guess you never know what you got till its gone

I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home

And guess when I heard that when I was back home

Every interview I'm representing you making you proud

Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud

Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around,

And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chit town,

[Chorus - Chris Martin]

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm coming home again

Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan

Oooh, now I'm coming home again

Im in home again

Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan

Oooh, now I'm coming home again

Maybe we can start again

Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh

Coming home again

Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh

Coming home again

Maybe we can start again
