Left Home Lyrics by Sommy Lovell

By The River

2016

[Hook: Leeanne London]
I just quit my 9-5 and booked a flight to Hollywood
But I'm promising to you
I'll never lose the way to living life the way I should
(Repeat)

[Verse 1: Sommy Lovell]
I'm on all fours, I need some more polishing
They've closed all doors, I'm crafting a following
I need to find purpose
I'm purposely putting off the working
Been all about reaching surface
I need your acknowledgment
And I need me a scholarship
Them grants got me running with bulls
My goggles as red as the church's adversary
Banking on dreams be as much as the merchants seem to carry
I know it very well, I'm not complacent
I know I'm on the clock assuring that I won't forsaken
But it's back braking, I mean tell me what you're chasing
Is that everything to you?
Everyone's losing
Hope you're laced with some fortune that suits you
It's unfortunate it's not written on how to manifest living
My destiny's only halted by 50 stars that say I can't expand
2 dollar mugs, quotes, monitors
Checks for loans you're piling up
Or be underground or a wanted man
But either a shovel or chain wouldn’t hold it
My effort ain’t ever folding, glory's calling on me

[Hook: Leeanne London]
I just quit my 9-5 and booked a flight to Hollywood
But I'm promising to you
I'll never lose the way to living life the way I should
(Repeat)

[Verse 2: Sommy Lovell]
I've turned on the course, I need your demolishment
Discovered the source, I need get up and follow it
Need to be front and center with front row perks
And then percolating with sinners
'Cus I don't need your acknowledgment
I ain't coming off scholarships
I came with no strings attached
Have the the scars on my back to match every century
Sentries over decades to barricade from what's next for me
Say the history means I'm bound to the penitentiary
With numbers and graphics as if we're all in traffic
Three times the limit on the dashboard
Gripping personals, passports
Circling dwellings past yours
Dwelling on sacrifices for vices, I’m on a crash course with
Overdue portions, Uncle Sam with extortion
Hundred grand from endorsements for
A wanted man embodying what's out of reach
They want résumés I provide coinciding with they teach
Give me what bible preach
Just to help what my lens see
Just so I can make ends meet
'cus glory's calling on me

[Hook: Leeanne London]
I just quit my 9-5 and booked a flight to Hollywood
But I'm promising to you
I'll never lose the way to living life the way I should
(Repeat)

[Bridge: Leeanne London]
And last month's rent's been past due
And last night I couldn't get any lower
If I could just get past you
Time don't get no slower
Baby I just wanna be somebody
You never know when you might need somebody
Said baby I just need to be somebody
You never know when
You wouldn't know it, until I

[Hook: Leeanne London]
I just quit my 9-5 and booked a flight to Hollywood
But I'm promising to you
I'll never lose the way to living life the way I should
(Repeat)
