I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Tell the world I'm comin' home
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Tell the world I'm comin'

I'm back where I belong (uh, yeah)
I never felt so strong, ayy (yeah, I'm back, baby)
I'm feelin' like there's nothin' that I can't try (uh, nothin')
And if you with me, put your hands high (yeah, put your hands high)
If you ever lost a life before (high, hey)
This one's for you (and if you with me put your hands high, high) (and you)
Your dreams fulfilled, you rockin' with the best (hey) (and you, and you)
I'll be home soon

I hear the "Tears of a Clown"
Uh, I hate that song
I always feel like they're talking to me when it comes on (come on)
Another day, another dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math, I'm gone
What am I 'pposed to do when the club lights come on?
It's easy to be Puff but it's harder to be Sean (come on)
What if my twins ask me why I ain't marry their mom? (Why?)
Damn, how do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown?
Shit, but I ain't finished growing
Another night, the inevitable prolongs
Another day, another dawn (come on)
Just tell Keisha and Teresa I'll be better in the morn' (I'll be better in the morn')
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get (yeah) back to the place where I belong (let's go)

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Tell the world I'm comin' home (yeah)
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday (ain't no more pain)
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes (thank you)
I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home), I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Tell the world I'm comin' (yeah, ayo, check this out)
Home

"A House Is Not a Home," I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones is gone? (No)
And niggas got the nerve to blame you for it (come on)
And you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it (that's right)
But you felt it, and still feel it
And money can't make up for it or conceal it (or conceal it)
But you deal with it (deal with it), and you keep ballin' (that's right)
Pour out some liquor, playboy, and we keep ballin' (ballin')
Baby, we've been livin' in sin
'Cause we been really in love, but we been livin' as friends (yeah)
So you've been a guest in your own home (come on)
It's time to make your house your home (yeah) pick up the phone (pick up the phone)

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home
Tell the world that I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Let the rain wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes (thank you)
I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home) I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Tell the world that I'm comin' (I'm almost home, check this out) yeah, home

"Ain't No Stopping Us Now," I love that song
Whenever it comes on, it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop (we won't stop)
'Til we back cruising through Harlem, these old blocks (yeah)
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy (oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Drove me away, then embraced me (come on, let's go)
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah, it's been a long time comin'
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles, lot of cars
Lot of ups, lot of downs, made it back, lost my dog (I miss you, Big)
But here I stand (come on), a better man (don't stop)
Thank you, Lord (thank you, Lord)
Thank you all

I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home (oh)
Tell the world that I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Let the rain wash away (feel so good)
All the pain of yesterday (feel so free)
I know my kingdom awaits (ain't no place like home, baby)
And they've forgiven my mistakes (ain't no place like home)
I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home), I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home)
Tell the world that I'm comin' (tell the world) I'm comin' home

    This song means the world to me, I did 10 years in the US Military and this was huge right before I got out, and being away from my city for so long jus made this song more than appropriate

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
