Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Tell the world I'm comin' home
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Tell the world I'm comin'

I'm back where I belong (uh, yeah)
I never felt so strong, ayy (yeah, I'm back, baby)
I'm feelin' like there's nothin' that I can't try (uh, nothin')
And if you with me, put your hands high (yeah, put your hands high)
If you ever lost a life before (high, hey)
This one's for you (and if you with me put your hands high, high) (and you)
Your dreams fulfilled, you rockin' with the best (hey) (and you, and you)
I'll be home soon

I hear the "Tears of a Clown"
Uh, I hate that song
I always feel like they're talking to me when it comes on (come on)
Another day, another dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math, I'm gone
What am I 'pposed to do when the club lights come on?
It's easy to be Puff but it's harder to be Sean (come on)
What if my twins ask me why I ain't marry their mom? (Why?)
Damn, how do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown?
Shit, but I ain't finished growing
Another night, the inevitable prolongs
Another day, another dawn (come on)
Just tell Keisha and Teresa I'll be better in the morn' (I'll be better in the morn')
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get (yeah) back to the place where I belong (let's go)

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)

I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home), I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Tell the world I'm comin' (yeah, ayo, check this out)
Home

"A House Is Not a Home," I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones is gone? (No)
And niggas got the nerve to blame you for it (come on)
And you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it (that's right)
But you felt it, and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it (or conceal it)
But you deal with it (deal with it), and you keep ballin' (that's right)
Pour out some liquor, playboy, and we keep ballin' (ballin')
Baby, we've been livin' in sin
'Cause we been really in love, but we been livin' as friends (yeah)
So you've been a guest in your own home (come on)
It's time to make your house your home (yeah) pick up the phone (pick up the phone)

I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home) I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Tell the world that I'm comin' (I'm almost home, check this out) yeah, home

"Ain't No Stopping Us Now," I love that song
Whenever it comes on, it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop (we won't stop)
'Til we back cruising through Harlem, these old blocks (yeah)
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy (oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Drove me away, then embraced me (come on, let's go)
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah, it's been a long time comin'
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles, lot of cars
Lot of ups, lot of downs, made it back, lost my dog (I miss you, Big)
But here I stand (come on), a better man (don't stop)
Thank you, Lord (thank you, Lord)
Thank you all

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home (oh)
Tell the world that I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Let the rain wash away (feel so good)
All the pain of yesterday (feel so free)
I know my kingdom awaits (ain't no place like home, baby)
And they've forgiven my mistakes (ain't no place like home)




I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home), I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Tell the world that I'm comin' (tell the world) I'm comin' home

Everything about this song is perfect, I've heard people try to mash up a verse from one song onto another and fail miserably. Not only is the beat fitting for Eminem's verse, but the meaning is fitting too, and your PERFECTED the tempo of Eminem's verse to fit the beat. Also the hook sounds like it makes sense with Eminem's verse. Speaking of the hook, it has a very similar melody to Eminem's hook on Not Afraid, don't know if anyone caught that. Overall great job!
