[Intro]
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (To join the army)
The day I left (The day I left)
My momma cried (My momma cried)

[Verse 1]
I left my home, everyone was sweet, I went back
Partially 'cause of the love, partially 'cause of the tag
(Fu*k, fu*k, fu*k-fu*k) Don't ask me where I'm at
Accountant told me this is just life, everything returns into Ash

[Chorus]
They named the city after me, so every single time I'm home
I think about doing some things that I should not say in a song
I've done some things that I'm not proud of, not at all
I meant exactly what I said, but the way I said it

[Post-Chorus]
I said it, uh-uh, I said it, uh-uh
I said it, uh-uh, I meant it, uh-uh
I said it, uh-uh, I meant it, uh-uh
I said it, uh-uh, I meant it, uh-uh

[Verse 2]
There was a time some years ago when I would hate this s*it, uh
Swear I couldn't take this s*it, uh
Said, "Fu*k this town" and turned around, you couldn't make this s*it up
I've made my peace, I plant my feet too deep, not moving for nothing
They'll build a statue of me, trust

[Chorus]
They named the city after me, so every single time I'm home
I think about doing some things that I should not say in a song
I've done some things that I'm not proud of, not at all
I meant exactly what I said, but the way I said it's—

[Post-Chorus]
Wrong, wrong
Wrong, wrong

[Bridge]
They named the city after me, so when I'm home, know it's up
They see the Benz, they see the rims, they already know that it's us
I found some comfort in the fact it's not the same as it was
All the silver will come, frankly it moves slow as fu*k

[Refrain]
Fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, I should've never left it
Fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, I should've never said it
Fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, take four away from seven
Only person on my street with zero college credits

[Verse 3]
For real (Are you for real?)
Every single time I'm home, think about doing— (Are you for real?)
I should not do that at all, it shouldn't even be a thought
But somehow, it always is, guess that's just the way I live
Only person in my neighborhood whose nightstand got a grip
And I don't think that I'll use it, all my neighbors old as s*it

[Refrain]
I should've never left it
Fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, I should've never said it
Fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, fu*k, take four away from seven
Only person on my street with zero college credits (Are you for real?)
