Atmosphere - Always coming back home to you
August 312009
To all my killers and my hundred dollar billers
To emo kids that got too many feelings
He held the register open while he counted her change
I was next in line which meant I was invisible
From where I stood I could see that the till was full
He didn’t look the type to play superhero
So I stepped forth and paid for my cigarettes
Crept out the stores front door to chase a little breath
Fangles in my head, shake the song off
Another manic Monday night, its gonna be a long walk
A car pulled up, a fixed up Cutlass
A woman and a child climbed out and left it running
They went inside of the deli, placed an order
With the extra dollar fifty bottled water ‘cuz the daughter’s
picky
When they came out mommy gave me a glance
That said, man can love an angel but he’s got to take the chance
Already knew the deal, I lit one up and walk,
So they got back in the Oldsmobile, belted up, and took off.
Thug love on the corner by the Walgreen’s
Looking at me like I’m just another square saltine
As I get closer I notice that they showing each other sketches
Out of their notebooks, reminded me of my old roots
I walk pass with a nod and a reminisce
Swear to God hip-hop and comic books was my genesis!
Respect the life and the fashions of the children
It’s the only culture I’ve got, exactly what we’ve been building
All of a sudden I’m in front of some man
No he’s a young’in but he’s got a gun in his hand
He looks fifteen, he looks frantic, no he looks afraid
Immediately apprehensive ’til I heard him say
“Do you want this? It’s not mine, I promise!
I found it on my block in between a couple garages!
Didn’t wanna leave it for a child to stumble over!
I don’t even know how to hold it!”
It was a thirty-eight, the poor man’s machete
Held it in my hand, thinking man it’s heavier then
expected,
wedged it behind my belt buckle
knowing that it’s evil, even thought that I could smell trouble
the extra strength felt weak,
but over there on the corner saw what I needed and proceeded to
cross the
street
put the heat in the mail box to loose it
figured that the post office knows what’s best to do with it
Mosey down the road thinkin’ ’bout the old,
I used to roam this zone with two feet of snow
Right here, this used to be a record shop
I’ve gotten love, I’ve gotten drunk, I’ve gotten beat up in that
parking lot.
I’ve had my Lake Street pride for three decades
These alleyways, and these streetlights have seen my best days
Before I was a germ learning how to misbehave,
All the way to the grave, South Side is my resting place
Took a right on Lyndale, I’m getting near
But then the road became empty and the people disappeared.
The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should’ve known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn’t here, I’m still all alone
No matter where I am, no matter what I do,
I’m always coming back home to you.
They can leave me for dead, they can take away my true,
I’m always coming back home to you.
Through the lies and the sins that ride the wind that blew,
I’m always coming back home to you.
As sure as the life in the garden that you grew,
I’m always coming back home to you.
No matter where I am, no matter what I do,
I’m always coming back home to you.
If only I had known what you already knew,
I’m always coming back home to you.
From the heaven I’ve had to the I been through,
I’m always coming back home to you
