(It's time to go)
(It's time to go home to)
(Home to)

I pushed aside the truth
'Cause ain't no days promised
I know I made mistakes
Trying to pray quiet
I gave away my peace
But I know where to find it
I'm going
Going home (I'm going)
Home

I spent way too much time tryna fit in
Laying on this flow dying flashing through my life and everybody said it's cool but where they?
Telling me we young and how we only gon' live once and it's the way to fully enjoy this party
But I was having fun before I ever took the risk and now they bangin' on my chest telling me it's
(Time to go)
Thinkin' bout my family, know this one gon' hurt 'em, honest damn I'm sorry mama but I gotta
(Time to go) (goin' home)
Tell grand-mama I love her and if you see my baby hug her 'cause these people said I gotta go
Save Jordans for my brother, tell little sister, your daughter, peer pressure is coming, It's real, mama
(Damn near all you)
And none of that is cool but it's her decision to choose just remember me when it's your time
(Time to go home)

I pushed aside the truth
'Cause ain't no days promised
I know I made mistakes
Trying to pray quiet
I gave away my peace
But I know where to find it
I'm going
Going home

Brought my baby out to play today
Thinking when I saw 'em arguing "this can't be good" I told her, "come on, come on, baby"
(Time to go)
Now we lying right here dying and it hurts I couldn't save her, why they'd have to shoot my baby, God?
(Damn near all of you)
Over colors she would color wit tomorrow I know they'll both forget us when it's time to go
(Time to go) (goin' home)
Bought her building blocks just yesterday
So excited to play but now there's blood soaking her clothes and we ain't have nothing do wit it
Why they have to trip, we was just out here enjoying the day and now they had to come and ruin shit
(Damn near all of you)
Now we laying on the ground and everything around me fading 'cause I know deep down it's time for us to
(Time to go home to)
I was having fun, then mama told me it's (time to go)
Then I heard a thing go bang-bang-bang-bang-bang now we lying and it's time for us to (time to go)
She grabbed me, tried to run but it was far too late and now we staring at the sun she waiting on me
(Damn near all you)
I hope you don't forget us and I pray that God forgive you when it's finally your time, your time
(Time to go home to)

Sweet songs and halos and and I'm so undistracted
Laughing at the winds and long goodbyes and ashes
I will find my strength at last
My mind captive
I'm going
I'm going, going home

We was staring at the sun too
We was shooting at each other and now we both dying too
I got a family and I know he got a family too
I'm praying to my God and he praying to his too
He fighting for his family and I'm fighting for mine too
Money, oil, land, gold
The only plan was to make it back safe with both my feet and hands but now it's (time to go)

Well now I'm on my way back going (it's time to go)
They'll give my wife a flag and tell my sons how brave their dad was
And when I make it back home (it's time to go)
I hope they save the letters, pics and know how much I wished
I wished it wasn't time for me to (damn near all of you)
But know I had 'em on my heart and I ain't want no Purple Heart
I'm sorry baby but I gotta go (it's time to go home to)

I pushed aside the truth
'Cause ain't no days promised
I know I made mistakes
Trying to pray quiet
I gave away my peace
But I know where to find it
I'm going
I'm going

(It's time to go home to)
(Damn near all of you, home to)
(It's time to go home to)
(It's time to go home to)
(It's time to go home to)
(Damn near all of you, home to)
(It's time to go home to)
(It's time to go home to)

I pushed aside the truth
'Cause ain't no days promised
I know I made mistakes
Trying to pray quiet
I gave away my peace
But I know where to find it
I'm going

(It's time to go home to)
(Damn near all of you, home to)
(Time to go home to)
