Already home
Jay Z Feat Kid Cudi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall 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)
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)

(Hey, I'm already home)
(Hey, I'm already home)
The song "Already Home" by Jay Z feat. Kid Cudi talks about the struggle of being successful and the challenge of staying on top. The lyrics state that people want Jay Z to fail and fall from the top, but he is already beyond that point. Despite the criticism and negativity of others, he has already made it home, meaning he has achieved his goals and is content with where he is in life. Kid Cudi's verse highlights the jealousy and boredom of others, who are envious of Jay Z's success.
In the first verse, Jay Z acknowledges that some want him to fail, but he is already successful, and the criticism they throw his way is unfounded. He refers to himself as "space shuttle level," and the haters need "oxyg-g-g-gen" to keep up with him. He is already on top, and there's nothing else he can do for them. In the second verse, Kid Cudi talks about how others want Jay Z to work for them, but he's already done so much for them that there's nothing left for him to give. Finally, in the third verse, Jay Z compares himself to Warhol and says that he's already achieved his goals, and no one else's opinion matters. He's already crossed the finish line, and he's not worried about what anyone else thinks.
Overall, the song is about being confident and content with one's success, despite the negative opinions of others. It's a message about staying true to oneself and not letting the opinions of others bring one down.
