I am in love with this song... it sums up my feelings about the past few months of my life perfectly. Listen to it here:
http://youraudiofix.com/2010/10/30/exclusive-j-cole-im-coming-home/ Diddy did another version of this song that is getting a lot of play on the radio, but I like this one better. "To appreciate the sun you gotta know what rain is."
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming
Back where I belong
I’ve never felt so strong
Feeling like there’s nothing that I can’t try
And if you feel me put your hands high, high, high, hey
And if you feel me put your hands high, high, hey
This is my story, this is my song
If you ain't got the heart, don’t attempt to try this at home
It’s just a poem from a man once living wrong
Now I’m in the zone, tell the world I’m coming home
It's been a long time coming, been a long time coming
This song feel like the greatest of all time coming
'Cause I do it B-I-G, I remember we would be high
Who’d have thought we’d be running rap when we was knee-high
To appreciate the sun you gotta know what rain is
Or 'cause I’m famous you don’t think I know what pain is
But I bounce back, would ya look at that
I take my spot at the top and I ain't looking back
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Hey, confusion like I was losing my mind
But one thing I never lose is my grind
My closet need a lot of cleaning now
I can’t sleep 'cause I don't like the shit I dream about
Hey dear Lord, please help me get the demons out
And then help me get my genius out
And get back to what I had
If my goods outweigh my bads
Do you think that my mistakes is gonna even out
I guess try and see, it’s on my diary
I’m living for my kids, now they is just as fly as me
Talk well, wonder if Andre Harrell
Knew how great I would be when he fired me
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world I’m coming... home
