Hometown Blues Lyrics by Markus

Ode to No City

2019

[Chorus: Yung Bookshelf]
Hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown news
Hanging with the hometown dudes
Hometown blues
They hit me with the hometown blues
Why my hometown so blue?
That’s not what home’s supposed to do

[Verse 1: Markus]
Feel the sea breeze on my skin
Floating along with the wind
But my hometown stays within
I share my life with my kin
I share my time with the boys
Sometimes we ain’t got no choice
Tryna pretend like we’re poised
Blasting the streets with this noise
Driving around in the night
Waking up early for school
Why, my hometown, got me so blue
That’s not what home’s supposed to do
And I never really understood
How my life be so good
But I can still feel so drained
Wash me away in the rain
Put in the work
No gain
Life could drive you insane
This our hometown, hometown

[Chorus: Yung Bookshelf]
Hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown news
Hanging with the hometown dudes
Hometown blues
They hit me with the hometown blues
Why my hometown so blue?
That’s not what home’s supposed to do

[Verse 2: Markus]
Do you ever try to get stuff done
And realize your life is just a day rerun?
I’m praying that cycle could take the day off
But I’m worried my mind and my brain are too soft
Yo, this is realistic
I aimed for a goal can’t believe I missed it
My whole childhood they said I was gifted
Now I’m looking back and my priorities shifted
I just need a ticket out
That’s what this year is about
That’s what the promises are
I’m feeling free-er inside of the car
I’d rather not be awake
I’m looking forward to bed
I’m hearing people around that wish they was dead
We’re joking but that’s enough said
I’m in my head, that’s how I’m feeling about

[Chorus: Yung Bookshelf]
Hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown news
Hanging with the hometown dudes
Hometown blues
They hit me with the hometown blues
Why my hometown so blue?
That’s not what home’s supposed to do

[Verse 3: Markus]
This mindset is so pervasive
A kind of sadness that’s too invasive
I’ve got no motivation and I’m feeling basic
I’m up at night just trying to face it
Maybe I’m trying too hard
Only interest piling up on the card
And with every new day I just wanna do less
Don’t study to know, studying for the test
My hometown got me so blue
That’s not what home’s supposed to do
You can see why I’d want to leave
Never look back just to grieve
Future is all that I see
Future me I want to be
Why would I stay in a soul sucking dream?
This place is a part of me
It’s my hometown, hometown

[Chorus: Yung Bookshelf]
Hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown news
Hanging with the hometown dudes
Hometown blues
They hit me with the hometown blues
Why my hometown so blue?
That’s not what home’s supposed to do
Hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown blues
Hit ‘em with the hometown news
Hanging with the hometown dudes
Hometown blues
They hit me with the hometown blues
Why my hometown so blue?
That’s not what home’s supposed to do
