Homesick
Complete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve been feeling homesick everyday
I've been feeling homesick finding my way

Oi
How can I be, proud to be me?
Oh, how I′d believe and vow to achieve everything in 2003
When I was just a kid back in primary school
Thought rhymes were cool and bounced to the beat
I was bound to succeed
But now I can see you can climb the mountain but you might fall down
When you're found at the peak
With the crown in my reach, now I'm surrounded by greed
Mortified, this sort of life can change
Before your eyes like the sound of a C
Downing this beam, drowning
Confused as fuck likе "How was I clean?"
For a whole year
Whеn I had my missus and we split because of cold beef
I had more power, it seems
Fuck
I try to act like life don′t matter but my mind′s so scattered
Every night when my eyes close
I'm denied hope as these psychos chatter like
Right, yo, time to go get a knife
No
Or a tight rope, climb that ladder and just fly bro
Why tho? I don′t wanna die
Won't matter, you ain′t nothing but albino rapper
I went from cheap grog to free shots
To 'Camp round′ to three lots of detox
Some say "Complete's lost so he's soft"
′Cause I get deep when the beat drops, these dogs
They′re so judgemental
They should that you don't judge mental
Say something, this freak won′t run
I don't need no gun, I can load up pencils
ArrrRRRRGHHH Gunshot (Yeah)
Fuck you and the haters who doubt me
Astounding the way that they pray for the day that I′m outtie
And hope that it's rainy and cloudy
They basically saying it proudly
And lately it′s making me lousy
'Cause I can feel shame in my veins
When they say that the game would be greater without me

Fuckin' dickheads
You can suck my dick then
I′ve been feeling homesick
On a fuckin′ mission
I don't really know if
People wanna listen




But I′ve been feeling homesick
So I'm coming home

I give up without a try
Hold my breath
Hope I die
Fly into the sky
In the back of my mind
Momma echos singing
you are my sunshine
Voices of evil chained to my bad decisions
Am I able
Mouth barbed wire shut
Lack of confidence
Silently screaming
Am I an eagle
Or a feeble
Fed up this is my last try
Your insults like needles
In my eyes threaded with
tears of memories
I’ll be back need my medicine
Hear we go again
When the fk does the book
End
Penciling in the chapters
With erasers
Failures sting my perseverance
like atomic craters
Left by adailesiance
In happenstance
I wish I could be sober
Feel like life is already over
Within suicide you remain
In November
A loner
Left me without a shoulder
To lean on
Why did you do that
38 caliber
Hour glass of future heart ache shatters
Your path
You took time
Stopped your heart beat
With the trigger
It figures right?
In the moment of lost hope
Hands ice cold
When someone shoots themselves in a water bed
They don’t float
Wish I would of never hung up
Last time we talked
Hopefully now the pain has stopped
Because you chose to
Remain in memories
I forgot
And don’t remember
You were all I got
You were my four leaf
Shamrock
no worries I battle these demons daily
Its what makes me its
I’m hear behind
The shadows of your mind
Ima different breed
unique creed
Angelic human being
you all see
I’m ugly
Soul
empty of emotional sympathy
Confidence stag net
Dots over my eyes
In this
dark web of lies
Heavy on the sincerity
Time is a lesson of reality
You see weight on my shoulders heavenly
If its is a simulation what’s behind the what if
Anxiety pulling drapes I’m hurting but I’ll be dam to be the first mistake
And admit I got what it takes
