West Side Stories

2012

[Verse 1: Upper West]
I got my ticket
Fam, yeah, I'm comin'
Damn, it's been a minute since I've seen where I'm from
And I wanna glide to my nest in the east
I'm not dead, but I'm home, so I'm restin' in peace
See, I'm surrounded by the city, wherever I go
Or breathe, I know that I'ma take it with me
Look, whether I'm top of the world, or top of the charts
That uptown, west side, lives in my heart
As I depart on my mission in life
I close my eyes and I see the never diffident lights
I'm missin' the nights when we used to both stop time
See, we'd lock hands, I got yours and you got mine
Let's rewind, now it's not as pretty as it seemed
And back then, all we had's the city and a dream
But time flies, just like the good die young
And when the clock stops, I'll still count the place I'm from
My problem, lately, I been feeling so nostalgic
And every time I'm back home, I solve it
I fell in love with a girl on my block
The same spot where my mom use to tell me to stop
When I got to the curb, "Slow down"
Cars are comin' fast now
So when I walk, I always hear her in the background
These memories are really all I've known
So if I had a genie, I would wish to go back home

[Chorus: Solly]
Every time I sleep
One thing's haunting me
I dream of those streets
I miss my city
The life I used to know
The lights that used to glow
Let that truth be told
It's time to go back home

[Verse 2: Reef of Fortune Family]
Take me back, take me back, man, I miss it
Home was our kingdom and we were little princes
Hit up the homies when I'm back, sure, we'll kick it
Travel back in time, so let me buy my tickets
Slow down, slow down, let me reminisce
Set me free, set me free, my deliverance
Sometimes, I wish I can turn back the clock
And press pause for a second and let the time stop
Mama, don't cry, I'll be back in the summer
Tell my boys that I drifted, I swear it is a bummer
Now I'm on the come up, man, life is so fast, and
Life changes quick, so let's cheers to the past
Like, Reef

[Chorus: Solly]
Every time I sleep
One thing's haunting me
I dream of those streets
I miss my city
The life I used to know
The lights that used to glow
Let that truth be told
It's time to go back home

[Verse 3: Gabriel Stark]
Kings of Leon, the recipe on
I'm comin' from the land where they compare me to Sean
It's like I'm in a world where they tat up they arms
In the elevator going up, the doors are peed on
It's like I'm Heaven's angel
I'm livin' it like a fable
And everybody's reachin' out, connect me like it's cable
But I only make it stable if I run it like a horse
And the dream can only happen if I let it take its course, so
Let me cross you up, it's almost time to say it loud
Last summer, I was just another person in the crowd
Now I'm losin' sight of greatness and I'm laughin' while they hatin'
There's no need to chase the crown 'cause it's already been taken, gone

[Chorus: Solly]
Every time I sleep
One thing's haunting me
I dream of those streets
I miss my city
The life I used to know
The lights that used to glow
Let that truth be told
It's time to go back home

[Outro: Gabriel Stark]
It's time to go back home
It's time to go back home
Look how distant we have grown, I think
It's time to go back home
