about

We wrote our own verses. I'm on the first and second, Osgood is on the third. This is kind of a rap remix of Adele's Hometown Glory. She sings the chorus except the producer made her voice pitch a lot higher.

lyrics

Hometown

(Intro)
Hanad you found the perfect beat…I dedicate this to you…This one goes out to our hometowns…

(Hook)
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn

(Devilish Thoughts)
I keep my a map with me to tell me where I’ve been
And when I’ve been everywhere I’ll go back there again
So I won’t get lost and I won’t have trouble knowin’
Where I’m from, so I can always know where I’m goin’
But every once in a while I get cold and lonely
and sometimes it shows
They say ‘home is where the heart is’
so I pour my ‘soul’ in my rhymes and flows
A house is just a luxury that I have never known
So you see I never really had one place to call home
Always movin’ from one place to the next
(And the next, and the next)
Still I'm thankful cause I met many good people so I’m blessed
I guess if I really had to name a place you see
I got fam in Detroit residence in New York but I was born in DC
Not to mention I grew up in 6 different countries
So Ima give a shout out to the US, peace,
And a shout-out to India, Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria, and the UAE
People ask where I'm from but it don’t matter long as I got my fam with me…
Uhh, none of it matters ‘long as I got my family

(Hook)
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn

(Devilish Thoughts)
From the East Coast of the US to the West Side of Africa
Back across the continents and all over the maps I
Been to every fuckin place that u can imagine
Got a first-hand experience of all the shit that’s happened
Places with little kids and hungry faces
Countries where they keep certain races locked up in cages
Lands where it’s either take a life or get yours took
I’ve tried to make a difference and I’ve done what I could
And hopefully I’ve done exactly what I should
But I just really hope that my message is understood
That we should come together and try to do what’s good
So I ain’t about East Side, West Side, I won’t rep my hood
And I ain’t got a town from which I’m local
The place I call my neighborhood is global
So you better understand Ima rep the whole fuckin world
My hometown ain’t in the US or the rest
Even though Somalia’s the best
It’s the whole fuckin world
So I pray to God every day
To show me the way
So that I can settle down
And finally find my hometown one day

(Hook)
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn

(FigureOfStruggle)
Injustice is evident, not the wealthy residents
Poor motha fuckaz getting robbed by the president
Puttin dead bodies in the ground hopin they heaven sent
Jobs don’t pay much so we hustle to pay our rent
Rules bent my tools meant for fixing
But we smashing the world with it
Crashing the roof in it, cool menace
Welcome to the frontlines of Africa
You gotta watch ya back cause someone is always after ya
Life’s hard when people don’t give you a chance to live
Men do all that they can to feed their kids
It don’t matter what gang your in
Cause no matter who you are they will jack you still
Watch your back or get killed
Blood spill, makes my stomach turn and get ill
We tryin to stop sinning, Im askin God for forgiveness
But this is my hometown and nothing is forgiven
This is my hometown and nothing is forgiven

(Hook)
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn
Memories are freesh
Round my hometooowwwn
