Home Soon
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

They told me to write a soundtrack for the kids who ain’t have shit
I was given a task to create a song that would resonate with those who have nothing and it motivated me to make something meaningful.

No problem, flashback me 2006
It wasn't a problem to remember an earlier time in my life when I had nothing and used that as inspiration for the song.

Broke ass piece, scrapin dust fell off, dollar 50 cents
I had barely anything to my name and was just scraping by with barely $1.50 to my name.

Get out of school and go to work, matter fact, fuck all this, I quit
I used to go straight to work after school but eventually quit because I had a dream of changing the world and leaving my current lifestyle.

I got a dream that we gon change the world soon, and one day get the fuck out of this bedroom
I have a dream of making a big impact on the world and leaving behind my small, insignificant life in this cramped bedroom.

Made write a song for the girl who cries when she thinks of her past, to just press play I tell er smile and then she laughs, look at that
I wrote a song for a girl who feels sad about her past and told her to just listen to it and smile, and it helped her feel better.

Music makes the world go around, and the ones in search of freedom generates into a crowd
Music brings people together and unites those who are looking for freedom and something to believe in.

All it takes is one believer with the words that duce us to what's real, and since my thoughts clear I guess that's why I'm here, cheer
One person with a strong voice and a message of truth can make a big difference, and I feel like I have that voice and message.

See my teachers told me go away to college, abut then I tell you is you ain't no guarantees if you're a scholar
My teachers advised me to go to college, but I realized that even with an education, there are no guarantees of success.

Even with they 10 degrees you could jobless with purple sand in yo pockets, so I say fuck my doctrines, rap to make mo money than these doctors yo
Even with multiple degrees, you can still be unemployed and broke, so I decided to pursue rap music as a way of making more money than some doctors.

One day I'll be too fly, drivin 3 girls in my 4 door, while these 4 J's make a fellowship, a small waist bitch on photo
One day I'll be living a flashy lifestyle, driving around with three girls and posing for a photo with a sexy woman and some friends.

I fed all this year but bounced back like a pogo, Kells
I struggled at times this year but I persevered and bounced back, never giving up.

And we just want the sun to turn into the moon, sit back and hope that these December nights turn into June
We want time to move faster and for better, brighter times to come.

See it started as a dream, that dream came true, send a message to my city, tell em we'll be home soon
It all began as a dream, and now it has become a reality. I want to spread the message that we will be successful and coming home soon.

And I'm like what we waitin round fo? Found something to celebrate, now we on round 4
I don't want to wait any longer to celebrate our success and accomplishments, we should be living it up already and enjoying life.

Ground flow? What's the pass? Now the sky is the limit, penthouse edition, exhibit A, a bunch of young motherfuckers livin
We've got a lot of good things happening and opportunities coming our way, with no limits to what we can do. We're a group of young and ambitious people who are making it happen.

I used to hustle to get it, used up all of my minutes, and hope someone of my ex's tellin me she on the business, and heard bout my situation, now here's a check for a million
I used to work hard and use every last minute just to make things happen. I'm now so successful that even an ex-girlfriend wants to do business with me and write me a check for a million dollars.

But this is reality and charity don't go to seniors, my clarity comes with painters of marijuana and splinters
This is the real world and we can't always rely on charity. I find clarity and peace through smoking marijuana and reflecting on my life.

And absentee in the ten and said all my highschool advanced, I just wasn't fond of pretention when all I had was resentment
I was absent a lot in high school and never really cared for the advanced courses. I didn't want to pretend to be someone else and just harbored resentment towards others.

I started out as a freshman and graduated a henchman, I worked my way up the jimmy, worked my way up the totem, and those who hated on me was just sad and waved to scrotum
I started out as a nobody in high school but eventually became a tough guy who worked his way up the social ladder. Those who once hated on me are now just envious and pathetic.

See life is a poker game, I got the hand now why I'm folding? I'm king Midas, touch my future with this hand now that shit golden
Life is like a game of poker and I've been dealt a good hand, I won't give up now. I'm confident and ambitious, with the ability to turn everything I touch into gold.

Man I swear to God
An expression of emphasis and sincerity.
