We wrote our own verses. Osgood is on the first verse, then me and AK, and Naz is last. The beat is produced by KustomMadeProductions. They sampled Adele's song Hometown Glory for the chorus.

lyrics

Hometown Remix

(Intro)
Of my world, of my world, yeahhh

(Chorus)
‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh
‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world

(FigureOfStruggle)
Poverty’s the disease spreadin’ epidemic
The Monster that eats my soul-Ignorance fed it
This creature’s won for too long, I’m out to behead it
The oppressors oppressing innocents
I swear, I'll make ‘em regret it
Struggle got me doubtin’ God
So it’s hard to stay spiritual
Everybody’s askin' for Miracles
It’s not what we need though
Gotta set straight the record
We just sheep to these people
And God is no longer the shepherd

(Chorus)
‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh
‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world

(Devilish Thoughts)
I sit back and reminisce about the lands that I have seen
With memories of happiness I revisit them in my dreams
Envision my life's scheme-I cannot think of a setting
Regret each place I leave so I believe in forgetting
See I wanna keep the good times so my motto is flawed
It's hard to fit in to new places maybe I belong with God
Maybe, my home is heaven or is it really in hell?
I'd trade my soul for a home but I ain't got a soul to sell

(Chorus)
‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh
‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world

(AK)
My memories are empty of this place I call home
But the freshness is within me it's my job to seize the throne
My hometown is peculiar, background inferior
I thought I was an equal when they said, “we were just foolin’ ya”
The only thing left, is to stand bold and stand tall
I represent the people that take shots I can’t call
These books are all your weapons
The guns are just misconceptions
The country you are forgettin', is the country I am reppin'
If you dont know your hometown then there are no further questions.

(Chorus)
‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh
‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of my world
How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world

(Naz)
I take a whiff, of the natural mystic in your air
If you listen, carefully, now you will hear
The drum-beat sounds, it’s the heart of my home
Through the lungs in the ground, I embark to my throne
The king, is back, to reign uncontested
The dream, is alive, you can't silence or oppress it
My home, is more than a place of residence
It's the birth of a journey-it's the place I represent
My veins and arteries transcribed to the Nile
An adjacent part of me is to die in your smile
I seek your progress, just to keep you spotless
Eat and breathe, the need, to speak your conscience
And if the time decides to take your past in a flood
I will bleed just so I can paint your flag with my blood
My home, my mother, I shall recover in your chest
I live by three words, Motherland or Death
