“Homecoming”Kanye West I met this girl when I was three years oldAnd what I loved most she had so much soulShe said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but,My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and,From that point I never blow her off,They can come from outta town I like to show her off,They like to act tough, she like to tow em off,And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they softAnd when I grew up she showed me how to go downtownAnd at nighttime my face lit up so astoundingAnd I told her in my heart is where she always beShe never mess with entertainers cause they always leaveShe said it felt like they walked and drove on meKnew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on meI guess it's why last winter she got so cold on meShe said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me
Do you think about me now and then?(2x)Cause I'm coming home againI'm in home againDo you think about me now and then? (2x)Oh, now I'm coming home againMaybe we can start againBut if you really care for her, then you would n-never hit the airport,To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to herIt always seems like she talking about me,She said you left your kids and they just like youThey wanna rap and make show beats just like you,But they just not you and I just got throughTalking bout what she can try to do just not newNow everybody got the game figured out all wrongI guess you never know what you got till its goneI guess this is why I'm here and I can’t come back homeAnd guess when I heard that when I was back homeEvery interview I'm representing you making you proudReach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloudJump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around,And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chi Town
