Derez Deshon

I never thought it′d be this way to see this day, lately
N*ggas hatin' bitches fakin′, crazy
Remember days dreaming how I'll make it
To this day I can't believe I made it
I can′t even lie it′s unreal
I can't even explain how I feel
I don′t even know what's really real
But if I lost it all baby would you be here?
Or would you leave me like the rest of ′em?
Do you just need me like the rest of 'em do?
I thought you believed me and really felt som′n
Until you treated me like the rest of 'em do
I been on the road for days
I ain't been home in days
And I′m missin′ home
Yeah, I'm missin′ home
I'm homesick
Ain′t answer my phone for days
Long nights and longer days
And I'm missin′ home
Yeah, I'm missin' home
I′m homesick
I can′t even lie it's unreal
I don′t even know how to feel
I don't even know what′s really real
But if I lost it all baby would you be here?
If I lost it all would they still keep it real?
If I lost it all would I still be... Real,
Lately I been getting calls from people I ain't talk to in years.
My cousin just got outta prison
I hit him and ask "what′s the deal?"
He called me and ask how much was my deal?
Damn, what's the deal?
Sometimes, I wish I could go back to the time
When a n*gga didn't have a dime
Everybody broke on the grind
Wasn′t poppin′ Champagne
Swiping up chains for a couple bills
Since I got some change a lot o' Shit changed
Wit me and my peers
I been feelin′ like "fuck the spotlight"
I wanna go back to the block life
Look at everything Ion got right
Was it all worth it 'cuz since a nigga made it som′n not right
I can tell the truth from the lies
In the coupe with no roof when I'm ridin′
Hit the booth, tell the truth, no lie
No lie
I been on the road for days
I ain't been home in days
And I'm missin′ home
Yeah, I′m missin' home
I′m homesick
Ain't answer my phone for days
Long nights and longer days
And I′m missin' home
Yeah, I′m missin' home
I'm homesick
I can′t even lie it′s unreal
I don't even know how to feel
I don′t even know what's really real
But if I lost it all baby would you be here?
If I lost it all would they still keep it real?
If I lost it all would I still be...

I been on the road for days
I ain′t been home in days
And I'm missin′ home
Yeah, I'm missin' home
I′m homesick
Ain′t answer my phone for days
Long nights and longer days
And I'm missin′ home
Yeah, I'm missin′ home
I'm homesick
I can′t even lie it's unreal
I don't even know how to feel
I don′t even know what′s really real
But if I lost it all baby would you be here?




If I lost it all would they still keep it real?
If I lost it all would I still be...
