Already home
Jay-Z;Kid Cudi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh they want me to fall (fall)
Fall from the top (top)
They want me to drop (drop)
They want me to stop (stop)
They want me to go (go)
I'm already gone (already)
The shit that I'm on
I'm already home
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)

Oh they want me to fall (fall)
Fall from the top (top)
They want me to drop (drop)
They want me to stop (no)
They want me to go (no)
I'm already gone (gone)
The shit that I'm on (already)
I'm already home
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)

These nigga's want me to go, don't they know that I'm gone
They know I'm space shuttle level they need oxyg-g-g-gen
Don't they know that they borin'?
Don't they know that I yawn,
Only time they excitin' is when they mentioning Shawn
You see single white female when she dyed her hair blonde
Sometimes I look at these rappers, the movie remind me of them
Somebody turn these boys off
Don't they know that I'm on
Can't they see that it's foolish to try and kill me with songs
What the fuck are they Lauryn, you killin' me softly
You talk me to death, only thing you can do to him
I open the door for them, what else can I do?
These nigga's want me to walk for them, somebody talk to them
Before I go off on them

Oh they want me to fall (fall)
Fall from the top (top)
They want me to drop (drop)
They want me to stop (stop)
They want me to go (go)
I'm already gone (already)
The shit that I'm on
I'm already home
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)

I taught 'em about fish scale they want me to fish for them
They want me to catch clean, then cook up a dish for them
All of this just for them, or they got a diss for him
They want me to disappear, like it's gonna shift for them
They say that I'm in the way, they want me to sit with them
But what they admitting is, they ain't got shit for him
But really the fact is, we not in the same bracket
Not in the same league, don't shoot at the same baskets
Don't pay the same taxes, hang with the same bitches
So how am I in the way, what is it I'm missing?
Nigga I been missing, nigga I been gone
The shit that you just witnessed is in, I bin on
And as for the critics, tell me I don't get it
Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it
Now these nigga's is mad, oh they call me a Camel
But I mastered the drought, what the fuck I'm an animal
Half-man half-mammal
My sign is a Sag, this is just what I plan to do
Hoe don't be mad

Oh they want me to fall (fall)
Fall from the top (top)
They want me to drop (drop)
They want me to stop (stop)
They want me to go (go)
I'm already gone (already)
The shit that I'm on
I'm already home
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)

I'm in the hall already, on the wall already
I'm a work of art, I'm a Warhol already
On another level, on another plane already
H-O-V I got my own lane already (already)
I done cooked up the rock already
So why the fuck can't y'all get hot already (already)
Put your name in the pot already, niggas compare me to Biggie and Pac already
Like I'm gone already and I am nigga I'm already home already
If y'all can't already see I ain't worried about y'all cause I'm already me (already)
Do you already, enough of the complaining bo-who's already
Eat food already, ain't nothing given you gotta claim your shoes already,
Yeah so on this summation I don't know who you racing
I'm already at the finish line with the flag waving

Oh they want me to fall (fall)
Fall from the top (top)
They want me to drop (drop)
They want me to stop (stop)
They want me to go (go)
I'm already gone (already)
The shit that I'm on
I'm already home
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)

Oh they want me to fall (fall)
Fall from the top (top)
They want me to drop (drop)
They want me to stop (no)
They want me to go (no)

The success you've seen me achieve is something I've been working towards for a while


And as for the critics, tell me I don't get it

Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it
Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone has achieved the same level of success


Now these nigga's is mad, oh they call me a Camel
People are angry and insulting me by calling me a name
