Homecoming
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

Uh, it's been a long time coming
After a long journey, I have finally reached my destination

But I'm finally home
I have arrived at the place where I belong

They used to call me kid
In the past, I was seen as young and inexperienced

That boy is finally grown
Now, I have matured and become a man

Came from the rock bottom
I started from the lowest point in life

Look at how far I've come
Observe the significant progress I have made

Couldn't wait for the day to say father
I eagerly anticipated the moment I can proudly call myself a father

Look at your son
Witness the achievements and growth of your own child

Took what was impossible and turned it to a dream
I transformed something that seemed impossible into a vivid dream

Until I lost so much sleep it became reality
I worked tirelessly until that dream became a reality, even sacrificing sleep

They say that what goes up, must come down
There is a belief that success will eventually decline

I'm that ashy, that classy, poster child
I represent a unique blend of ruggedness and elegance, a symbol to be showcased

So I roll out my red carpet
I create a grand entrance, ready to be celebrated

Break out my red garments
I display my finest clothing in a show of self-confidence

Haters wanting my dead
There are individuals who wish for my downfall

Break out my red target
I prepare to face adversity head-on, becoming their focus of attention

They question what I've started
People express doubts and curiosity about the endeavors I've initiated

I tell 'em several things
I provide them with numerous explanations and justifications

They asked me what I wanted
I am posed with the question of my desires

I tell 'em everything
I respond by revealing all of my aspirations and ambitions

My heart is all in it, losing is off limit's
I am fully dedicated, refusing to accept defeat

Reputation matches my attire, I'm authentic
My reputation reflects my genuine character and style

This is my homecoming
I am celebrating my triumphant return to my place of origin

Tell 'em it's my homecoming
Inform everyone that this is a significant event for me

I have outgrew so many things
I have surpassed and moved on from numerous aspects of my past

The hood does not fit me
I no longer belong to the neighborhood where I grew up

But I can't forget my past
Despite moving forward, I still remember and acknowledge my history

I brought the whole hood with me
I have not forgotten where I came from and remain connected to my community

Because I love my city, it made me who I am
I have deep affection for the place that shaped my identity

Tattoo read city boy, but I'm the city's man
Although labeled as a city boy, I have now become a respected figure within the city

You'll never break me down
No matter what, I refuse to let anyone diminish my spirit

They wish I was afraid
Those who oppose me desire to see me filled with fear

Out of all the situations I've fought for
Considering the numerous battles I have endured

You'd think I'd run away?
Would you really believe that I would flee from these challenges?

I count a thousand depths and I ain't hurt yet
Despite facing countless hardships, I have remained resilient and undefeated

Taught how to be a man, but to be a sucka I ain't learned yet
I have been taught the ways of a responsible adult, but I have not succumbed to weakness

So everybody put your drinks up
Raise your glasses to celebrate together

Let's toast to who didn't need no help
Cheers to those who achieved success without relying on assistance

Now swing one back for anybody who got one they goddamn selves
Now take a sip in honor of individuals who obtained their accomplishments independently

I bring it back for the city
I represent and give back to my community

And they put on for me
The city has shown support and appreciation for my achievements

We celebrating the beginning
We are commemorating the start of something significant

I told 'em what I wanted
I expressed my desires to others

What I meant is what I need it's not just I
My wants align with my needs, and it's not just about myself

It's everyone that's depending on me
There are many individuals who rely on me for support

I pour my heart in these beats
I invest my emotions and passion into my music

To soar up outta these streets
To elevate myself from the struggles of the neighborhood

Pour victory bottles till liquor knocks us out on these sheets
We will celebrate with drinks until we are intoxicated and collapse on the bed

I say it straight-faced
I speak honestly and without deception

I feel it's owed to me
I believe that I deserve what I have achieved

Monopolize like Rockerfeller
I aim to dominate and control like the powerful Rockerfeller

That's the HOV in me
That's the Jay-Z influence and mindset within me

My father couldn't even influence my ways
Even my own father was unable to shape my actions and decisions

So why the fly-fuck you think I care what a haters gotta say?
Given the circumstances, I couldn't care less about the opinions of those who dislike me

I know exactly why they hate
I am fully aware of the motives behind their animosity

They know exactly why I'm great
They are well aware of the reasons for my greatness

They put in work and I work harder, they follow I innovate
While they put in effort, I surpass them by working even harder and constantly innovating

I never claimed the title
I have never explicitly declared myself as the best

I was given the throne
Instead, others have recognized my talent and bestowed upon me a position of power

Cleveland's American Idol
I am hailed as the representative and idol of Cleveland, Ohio

The king is finally home
Finally, I have returned as the sovereign figure in my domain
