Home Alone
Dom Kennedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh oh, uh uh oh. [4x]
Call me when you home. I'll be there soon.
And I got a couple things I'm tryna fit up in ya room.
Like Wall spread out, flexin ya lil bed out
Turn you sideways, checkin ya lil head out.
Yea.
I figure before I head out, we practice Merlot and pour us a lil Red out
Roll up, blow us a lil set out.
"Dom, where you at?" is what the text message read out.
Yeah
She catch feelins like football.
But she bad to the foot, dawg.
So I let her pass like kush y'all.
I really wanna chill, but it's too bad I gotta push.
Gone.

[Chorus]
I know you don't wanna be alone (I really don't wanna be alone) [2x]

I like toast in the mornin' you need to know that incase you close in the mornin.
Yeah. I might post in the mornin'
don't do it like the movies get ghost in the mornin.
Yeah, I'ma coast out floorin'
My 2 door coupe, in the most Ralph Lauren
I'm the most outstandin', Leimert park song baby don't out-brand it
Hottest nigga out baby, don't start tannin'
you betta ya girl or she gon' start fannin.
You already know who the man is
If not me ima be here standin'.
Dom

[Chorus 4x]

Uh, this that single
this that Damn, I really miss that single.
Lit I, 'fo I be gettin rid I
Hit homeruns you nigga be gettin' stridikes.
OG Gucci jacket with the Spizikes
cruisin down King
2 Chains on my bizike.
Got a joint, no lizight. Sike
As I light my cloud, tryna get a girl to turn upside down
Do a couple shows then go up 5thou.
they tell sign up, I be like sign down.
Shit I got some CDs I could sign right now
You don't need his, you just got mine.
You don't give head? I ain't got time.
Way out in Sugarland bitches bop Dom
They said that my mission was impossible, I did it like time.
Yeah, should you choose to accept
I won't play games, that will lose your respect.
but when I'm done here I will move to the next.
So don't say you ain't knew what to expect.
Yuup.





[Chorus 3x]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dom Kennedy's song Home Alone discuss a romantic rendezvous with a woman. The song opens with an invitation for the woman to call him when she is home, so he can come over. He then mentions that he has some things he wants to do in her room and proceeds to describe his intentions in a sexually suggestive manner. The next verse is more lighthearted, discussing his love for toast in the morning and how he likes to leave before the woman wakes up. The lyrics imply that the relationship is purely physical and the singer is not interested in an emotional connection.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I know you don't wanna be alone" which can be interpreted in two ways. Either the singer is acknowledging that the woman wants to be with him, or he is projecting his own feelings of loneliness onto her. The final verse briefly mentions some of his accomplishments, such as selling CDs and performing shows, before returning to the theme of his seduction of the woman.


Overall, the song is a classic example of a rap song that objectifies women and glorifies casual sex. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes about relationships and gender roles, and its lyrics are not appropriate for all listeners.
