Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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)
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)

"Already Home" by Jay-Z and Kid Cudi is a song about success, the pressure to maintain it and the haters trying to bring them down. The chorus repeats the theme of the song: people trying to make them fall from the top, but they're not going anywhere because they're already home. The phrase "already home" is used metaphorically to show that they've already achieved their goals, reached the top, and are comfortable with where they are in life.
Verse one talks about how they're being constantly pressured to fail and how people want them to stop doing what they're doing. They mention that those people need to recognize that they should give up because they cannot succeed like they have. In the second verse, Jay-Z goes on to say that some rappers want him to disappear, even though he's never done anything wrong. He is confident in his success and knows that he's not in the same league as those who are struggling to make it, so he's not worried about what they say about him. In the final verse, Jay-Z talks about how he's already established himself and has even been compared to legends like Biggie and Pac. He's already accomplished everything, so he's not worried about what others think of him.
Overall, "Already Home" is about the confidence that comes with success and how once you're on top, there's nowhere to go but home. The song's main message is that when you're successful, haters will try to bring you down, but you have to keep pushing forward and remain confident in your abilities.
