KOTA The Friend, Saba - Solar Return lyrics

I been a cynic picked up the bottle and I
Swigged it to no limit mama took it from me
Did I say that I was finished?
I know she prayin' for my liver
I know she think I’m playing when I say
That I'ma give her everything she
Sacrificed to raise me
I'll pop up in your city like a Banksy
I made it 26 graduated from my list
No shackles on my wrist
Went to battle with the devil
Came back with the metal tucked
Clothes burnt, fire on my chest
What the fuck is up?
I be like, "Nothing much"
All these damn years I been fucking up
Showin’ up in court with a button-up
I been on a new wave
On the board like a toupee
CBD, alkaline water over Kool-Aid
Little Kota tell me he ain't seen me in like


Two days swear that little boy should be
Somebody that you thank
I say that 'cause he share me with the world
From Clinton Hill to K Town
Sleeping on a greyhound
Laughing on the Facetime
Daddy always make time
See you when I'm back home

See you when I'm back home
(See you when I'm back home)
You know I'ma come back
(You know I'ma come back)
Don’t you be sad, no (Don’t you be sad, no)
You know I don't want that
(You know I don’t want that)
I'll See you when I'm back home
(See you when I'm back home)
You know I’ma come back
(You know I'ma come back)
Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
You know I don't want that
(You know I don't want that)

Uh, yeah and on to bigger, better stuff
From sleeping on the megabus
I had to move around because I knew
That it'd be better for us
Metaphors I never taught
Without wishin' I teleport
Telegraph, send a message home from the
Hotel that I settle for
Said I'm going overseas, I'm feelin' chosen
Prophecy life is what you make it
I just made it something I believe
Opportunity a-knocked
It's at the door then I'ma leave
But, I'ma be right back
She know she don't like that
California burn the industry, I been on fire
While I was looking for a break
Like Ye on through the wire
Tryna convince the fam that one
Day I want to retire
Right now everything good though
The universe in alignment
I started hiding all of my
Hobbies ain't know about it
Until I had a product I'm proud
Of to post about it at any time I doubted my
Family won't allow it
Another year with the sun I'm
Gracious to go around it, ayy

See you when I'm back home
(See you when I'm back home)
You know I'ma come back
(You know I'ma come back)
Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
You know I don't want that
(You know I don't want that)
I'ma see you when I'm back home
(See you when I'm back home)
You know I'ma come back
(You know I'ma come back)
Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
You know I don't want that
(You know I don't want that)

I went from feeling like I was a burden
To I don't give a fuck if
You don't like my person
Never catch me begging for attention
Only focused on the people in my section
I appreciate the blessings
Had too many devils in this life
I revel in this life
I don't settle for this life
I done kept riding with a
Broken pedal for this life
If you still here
I'm happy that he kept you in my life
On the real, I don't want you here if
You don't really wanna chill
If you ain't for the better of
The squad you can bail
Spit your ass out like it's
Jonah and the whale
Wavin' to my haters cause' my
Boat is setting sail
If I say I love you then that's where it ends
You don't gotta have a title
Just to be my friend you can have it all
I won't ask you for a damn thing
Welcome to my table
It don't matter what you can't bring
I told the labels I'ma do it independent
But, I met some good people
So I keep the friendship
My son don't even like me going to the store
He be thinking it's another tour

I'ma see you when I'm back home
(See you when I'm back home)
You know I'ma come back
(You know I'ma come back)
Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
You know I don't want that
(You know I don't want that)
See you when I'm back home
(See you when I'm back home)
You know I'ma come back
(You know I'ma come back)
Don't you be sad, no (Don't you be sad, no)
You know I don't want that
(You know I don't want that)
