It’s my homecoming, I’m back, Marathon, know you heard the track, number 12, on number 5, Victoria, keep the dream alive, I stopped running in 2013, now I’m back, Marathon, take a look at me, take a look and see, I’m shining, no matter the weather, stay dry mane, stay high mane, stay fly mane, Project Pat, raised my understanding, of the world, and everything in it, ski mask on my face, you don’t know who did it, no stick up for possessions, I’m only coming for, intellectual progression, not what I’m saying, what I want you to do, take a look in the mirror, is you loving you? Do you know who you see, are you what you want to be, you can overcome your demons, take a look at me, it’s my homecoming Homecoming, I’m coming home, been gone too long, mfs want a show, but I’m feeling my age, so we take it slow Slow down, right now, take second, I’ll show you how to work it out, homecoming, take it home, face your demons, run that show Homecoming, back from another state, when I cross that river, my heart can’t shake, everything that’s broken, the lock on the cage, the light in the hole, the dark of the days, feeling your touch, we missed so much, I hate telling my brother about the joy of my love, because he can’t be there, he can’t experience that, if he was by my side, I could’ve beaten my past, if he was by my side, the things we could’ve done, the places we went, the battles we won, the fights we had, it wasn’t all gravy, but they took that from me, forever, no maybes, fuck you for that, everyone Feels good to be home, every time I go, always come back, it’s my homecoming, it’s my homecoming It’s my homecoming, for so long, I never felt at home, but today, I’m living’ full grown, wife got that cake, she keep that throne, mind blown from the dome, heart beatin’ from a stone, I was born a free man, but you made this my home, thank you, Ben Thomas, Marathon, I couldn’t sleep another wink, so I picked up the phone, call to Allrounda, you know it’s on, Homecoming part II, Chapter five, second tome, the story moves on, like the attack of the clones, keep the vision in the message, I keep on fighting’, you stay at home

Are you looking for me, cause I was looking for you, we found the music, we found the groove, it’s far away, but I can feel the room, shaking, quaking, movement so fast, I can’t take it, so we slow it down, we far from home but I can’t speed up now, looking in the mirror can’t be that now, so far from home, on the road, so many shows, when will we go, home, where I see my baby, my love, my candy, my everything, handy, she so special, I envy, us and the love we want, we so far from home, go get that joint So far from home, on the road, so many shows, when will we go…home So far from home, Peoria, last stop on the road, last block on the road, between my passion, and my home, between my love, for the people, the art, the meaning, the feeling, when I pick up the mic, and they feel it, it’s so really, cot damn, I feel it, the love, through the ceiling, I’m reeling, in the atmosphere, they feel it, but we far from home, yo, I need it Home

I really mean it, please believe it, we had a zenith, before screens turned flat, 4K, streaming, tube ceiling, prince so fresh, every season, that’s the reason, I speak like this, walk this way, flip the script, change the game, stunt every lane, Cadillac so clean, flowing over beats, straight heat, straight fire, Inferno, it’s not the royalty, but it’s ready to blow, all crown, all black, covered in stones, covered in bones, under the throne, no king shall stand, over my home, the Fall of Rome, demise of the empire, I was driving at night, they almost took my life, back seat of the unit, off to the station, they said it was good, but I didn’t listen, saved by the skin, of my father before me, 3 gone missing, in Southern Ohio Another day, another chance to survive, another day, living this life Bound in chains, but we broke free, so they changed the game and history Another day, another turn of the dial, still 2nd class, so we marching a mile, right to your front door, I know you heard it before, no justice, no peace, how can you sleep, while we dying in the streets, the evolution, of the slave patrol, the evolution, of the white man’s soul, on display, everyday, with a like and a smile, broken heart, maybe a tear drop, social media, the only sign of their heart, but it’s art, of the performance variety, it’s all a game, in the white man’s society, welcome to amerikkka, that’s what they say, where you can get shot, every single day, every single day Just another day

In the light, I had dream, in the light, I saw, so many things, in the light, I heard that scream, in the light, I realized it was me, in the light, I found a purpose, bring the light, to all these urchins, leeches, ain’t talkin’ bout welfare, I’m talkin’ bout preachers, politicians, CEOs, public army, for the foes, of every one, every citizen, every person, darker than the white of their skin, they call us the devil, but we see their sin, in the light, we can see, the truth, everything, in the light, we need step, grab ahold, of this grip, Marathon Step foot, in the light, can’t hide from the strength of the shine, fitted cap all white, two tone in my shoe, red currant and cream, Highbury blues We found the truth when we opened our eyes, in the light, in the light Catch fire, bring that shit to life Step foot in the light, we saw the truth when we opened our eyes, making it to 21, the goal in life, day by day, try to make it someway, somewhere, try to be somebody, we got dreams, but we can’t get about it, because of the system, built to win, for only him, and never us, we can’t live in peace, in the face of injustice, that’s why we can’t pursue our happiness, in this world, it don’t exist, step foot in the light, see the truth, in front of your eyes, it don’t feel good, but god damn it’s right Step foot, in the light

Seasons, changing weather, new morning, up at the crack of dawn, yawning, I see the difference in the world around me, I see the difference when we change who we wanna be, rain falling down, won’t let me sleep, fired up the studio so we could speak, even with changing seasons, we can all be free, if we don’t follow their plan, never again, don’t put your trust in demons, looking out for themselves, don’t trust in people, who won’t speak on themselves, ain’t nobody perfect, we must admit that, if we don’t no looking forward, we headed straight back, to the past, sins repeat again, I wish the world would open up, and listen, we been saying it for so many years, Black Lives Matter, falling on deaf ears, what does it take, to open your mind, seasons change, we’ll all be fine, that’s what you think, but the truth, is the hate don’t blink Seasons, Spring forward for a reason, in the Summertime we got that feeling, Fall back, into another zone, when Winter comes, we already gone Seasons, change like the day, in Ohio, you never know the play, rain or sun, snow or blue, it don’t matter the date, it’s all gravy with you, low tread, on my tires, so many years, so many miles, so many seasons, change like weather, gray one morning, the next day better, we measure, by material means, but the meaning, is so much more than greed, so much more than what, you got in that bank, so much more, than what the editorial say, your worth, is built in your person, how you move through the world, not the doors you can open, so build yourself, not that bank, grow your worth, live your day In the Winter, my tank on low, seasonal affective, you already know, playing Mobb Deep to keep my head in the game, infamous pain ’til the sun rise again, Spring, bringing the rain, my brother’s birthday, a lil’ more pain, seems to go, with every single season, but in the Summertime, I got that feeling, wheeling through the city, country, whatever, breathe in the light, exhale the pleasure, before it’s time to Fall back, I never fall back, I never fall back, the seasons, yes they are a changing, this world, yes we can save it, if we change, like the seasons, forever evolving, forever looking for meaning, you never know, what you have within you, until you open your heart and let the people through, until we make that change, do it for you
