Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is new and
You just play your part and
I'll just play it too
That's when I'm coming home
That's when I'm coming home
Where everything is fake and
Everybody smiles and
Nobody can hear you
Through everybody's mouth
That's when I'm coming home
That's when I'm coming home
I been off on that road okay
I'll be damned if shit ain't go roll my way
Grew a little from them to doe days
I upped my mojo no polo Spay I
B-lined for the the city dreams from the city of rain
I brought the city of pain to give my city the light
And make my city a name
And... let em all know that the kiddy got game
Take it how you wanna, I just do it how I do it
Never been about the glitter, always been about the music
Never been about the power always been on how I use it
Never been about a hit always been about the movement
And I've been trying to get along yep I've been trying to lead the way
Yea I've been trying to keep it real and I've been dogging every stray okay
Do he sound like Drizzy? Do he sound like Cole?
Do he sound like chance? Fuck I don't even know
Fucking 8 years deep then a motha fucka blow
Ain't that some grind high fiveing time
I been creeping on the low - don't need no friends I got Bros
Don't need there's yep I got the flows
yea yea I guess it's time I go when
Days just turn to nights and
Everything is new and
You just play your part and
I'll just play it too
That's when I'm coming home
That's when I'm coming home
Where everything is fake and
Everybody smiles and
Nobody can hear you
Through everybody's mouth
That's when I'm coming home
That's when I'm coming home
Lately I've been giving zero fucks, I got zero problems
I got a 100 ways to get 0's with commas
Off a spreading art like mural bombers
My city crowned me never crowned myself
I fucked around 'til I found myself
Got enough flow to ground myself
Don't come to me unless you want to drown yourself
Vrum Vrum I been going harder than a motha fucka
Ever since I told my mommah ima be the biggest
I was smoking on a ciggy swinging hammers for a living
That was 04 I guess I was my own worst critic
Vancouver down to my stone
Don't need no liquor shots to my dome
To tell the truth about shit in the booth about shit
To prove the shit all on my own
And I've been trying to get along yep I been trying to lead the way
Yea I've been trying to keep it real and I been dogging every stray
okay
People change like numbers do and thats way before the pay
I was dreaming of this way before today so, don't take me to that place
Days just turns to nights and
Everything is new and
You just play your part and
I'll play it too
That's when I'm coming home
That's when I'm coming home
Where everything is fake and
Everybody smiles and
Nobody can hear you
Through everybody's mouth
That's when I'm coming home
That's when I'm coming home
The first verse of SonReal's song Home talks about the feeling of being lost and disconnected from the world, and the desire to return to a place where things are familiar and real. The imagery of days turning into nights and everybody smiling but nobody hearing you creates a sense of loneliness and isolation. The chorus repeats the phrase "that's when I'm coming home" as a reminder of the place where the artist can find comfort and connection.
The second verse talks about SonReal's journey as a musician, from starting out in Vancouver to making a name for himself in the industry. He reflects on his passion for music and his commitment to staying true to himself, even as he tries to find success in a competitive field. He admits to occasionally doubting himself, but ultimately persevering and "dogging every stray" to reach his goals. The verse ends with an optimistic note, as he asserts that he has been "trying to get along" and lead the way for others.
Overall, the song is a mix of introspective reflection and a longing for a sense of belonging. SonReal touches on themes of authenticity, perseverance, and the importance of finding a place where you feel at home.

Vancouver down to my stone
I'm devoted to my hometown of Vancouver
Don't need no liquor shots to my dome

To tell the truth about shit in the booth about shit
I express my honest feelings and experiences through my music
To prove the shit all on my own
I want to prove myself and my talent on my own terms
People change like numbers do and thats way before the pay
People change their behavior before they gain any significant money or success
I was dreaming of this way before today so, don't take me to that place
I've been dreaming of my success for a long time, so don't try to bring me down
