Wax, Intuition - Hometown lyrics

I been living in this city for a long while
Sometimes I feel like I just
Need to slow down
I'm packing up a bag I'm 'bout to roll out
Headed back to my hometown
'Bout to take a little trip to my hometown

When I left it was big city dreaming
Traded tall trees for the cement
Traded calm peace for the steep rent
Cold for the beach
But still head to mom's street for the reset
Run to the midnight sun gon' get right
Me and my little bruh
Probably gon' fist fight
And I don't have shit to do
My dad sick we listen to
His music on the couch with the dog
And just sit tight i lived life
Where BB gun fights
Hide and seek be fun nights
Where the lakes stay freezy and
The skeeters gon' bite
Where your high school sweetie might
Complete your love life
Where shit talkers get beat up so
You keep your tongue tight
Been known to take a long
Walk down a dirt road
And think about the glow the
World shows after first snows
Rave in the backyard
Where the red fern grows
I wasn't made to stay here
I'm glad I had a turn though

I been living in this city for a long while
Sometimes I feel like I just
Need to slow down
I'm packing up a bag I'm 'bout to roll out
Headed back to my hometown
'Bout to take a little trip to my hometown

I watched a lot of television as a teen
I used to see the screen as
A window to a dream i wanted to be in it but
So far away it seemed
Had to leave my native land
Like Semmi and Akeem
Moved myself to the west
Put myself to the test lots of ups and downs
Lots of failures and success
I'm a grown man now I think
I'm changing for the best
I used to want it all now I'm tryna want less
I visit my hometown looking
For some relaxation and every time I find a
Whole lot of inspiration
Via conversations I had with a
Lot of good friends that do not look at life
Through no Hollywood lens
And I probably would've been a different
Person if I'd stayed there
Working 9 to 5 to afford the cost of daycare
But, I was put on this
Earth for something different
I'd never move back but I'd
Love to fucking visit

I been living in this city for a long while
Sometimes I feel like I just
Need to slow down
I'm packing up a bag I'm 'bout to roll out
Headed back to my hometown
'Bout to take a little trip to my hometown

It's just hard to be at a barbecue
And not drink man it's like
Watching pornography for hours on end and
Just not touching yourself at all

You'll find yourself getting upset
Or irritated about
Things that usually don't irritate you
You know? Things that never
Bothered you when you
Were drinking every day, so it's normal
It's part of it just
Try to relax and breathe and try to you know
Just blow it off
