Homesick
Lil Rock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I’m in a fantasy ‘cause ain’t nobody...
I feel like nobody real
(Kill Austin)
I get homesick too
I’m still human
Sometimes I wonder do I live in a fantasy ‘cause ain’t nobody real
Sometimes I get a rush, I do crazy shit for the thrill (for the thrill)
I move without regret, oh I think I don’t have no chill

And I move by myself ‘cause they not on my side for real (not on my side)
Wake up think about the money in the morning (in the morning)
Then I get on the road and I feel homesick (oh I feel homesick)
I know at times I keep on losing focus
I guess sometimes I just don’t know how to approach it
Take a big hit out that smoke it leave me choking
I swear the bag conceal all my emotions (my emotions)
Everyday the same shit going through the motions
Shit, I get sick and tired of always feeling hopeless
Feel like sometimes I just wanna be next up (be next up)
Then other times can’t even pick my head up (gotta pick my head up)
Gotta do this for Ariyah I can’t let up (I can’t let up)
But sometimes my soul so heavy I can’t step up
They say they love me they don’t wanna see me shine for real
See I got battle scars ‘cause I ain’t have no time to heal
On the road chasing that money tryna sign a deal
But if I said that I ain’t homesick that’s a lie for real
Sometimes I wonder do I live in a fantasy ‘cause ain’t nobody real (ain’t nobody real)
Sometimes I get a rush I do crazy shit for the thrill (for the thrill)
I move without regret, oh I think I don’t have no chill
And I move by myself ‘cause they not on my side for real
Wake up think about the money in the morning
Then I get on the road and I feel homesick (oh I feel homesick)

I know at times I keep on losing focus (I keep on losing focus)
I guess sometimes I just don’t know how to approach it (no)
