[Intro: T.I.]
|
Hey... say, pimp...
|
This to everybody stretched out behind the walls...
|
Countin' days on they calendar...
|
Flippin' pages month to month...
|
Hey, man, I don't give a damn how other folks treat you, man
|
I just wanna... I wanna let you know, pimp
|
You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homeboy... real talk.
|
|
[Chorus: T.I.]
|
I know the times seem long, just try & keep strong
|
Put on your headphones & rewind this song
|
Remember You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
I promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
Hey, just know the club on hold & the broads on pause
|
You get home, it's gon' be waitin' on y'all
|
So dawg, just know for real You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
I promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes.
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
On everything
|
My uncle did a decade
|
Came home, hit the ground runnin' gettin' paid
|
Like he never did a day
|
Hit the streets niggas still in the same place they was
|
'Fore he went in the chain gang & doin' the same thing
|
'Cause the game go on, you only do 2 days in the joint
|
The day you get locked up & the day you go home
|
I know it feels like the world passin' you by
|
Like shit happenin' everyday out there that you don't know about
|
Everytime you call home your baby mama show out
|
And your partners don't even send you flicks from when they go out.
|
But don't worry 'about it or stress it 'cause shawty, you know what?
|
The time do itself, all you gotta do is show up
|
Keep layin' down, wakin' up & thankin' the Lord
|
And 'fore you know it they gon' open the doors, true story
|
Just prepare yourself for it.
|
If you ain't got a plan, what you need with a second chance? Shit, you gon' blow it
|
Learn & visualize what you tryin' to do
|
And do the time, homeboy, don't let the time do you
|
They say the time just flew in the streets
|
Hard to believe from in there but you'll see soon as you on the streets.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I know the times seem long, just try & keep strong
|
Put on your headphones & rewind this song
|
Remember You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
I promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
Hey, just know the club on hold & the broads on pause
|
You get home, it's gon' be waitin' on y'all
|
So dawg, just know for real You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
I promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Probably thinkin' easy for me to say from here in the booth
|
But they showed you, they'll put me in there with you
|
Right now locked down in the state of the feds, lay in the bed
|
Playin' this over & over as you say in your head
|
"Yeah... next time I'm a be straight
|
Just count down to my release date..." piece of cake
|
My nigga Cap right now servin' a life sentence
|
For a murder he committed in his self-defense
|
And in such good spirits shawty ain't even trippin'
|
And I could be right in there with him, no bullshitin'
|
He on his 9th year now just waitin' to get out
|
Got me thinkin' my shit ain't even worth complainin' about
|
'Cause it can still be worse fo' sho'
|
So you waitin' on me to lose hope you got to kill me first
|
I talked to my nigga Big Meech
|
Had to tell him the streets miss him just as much as he miss the streets
|
Had to let him know whenever he released
|
We hittin' the club like '03 this time it's on me
|
Yeah we laugh, reminisce for a minute & then
|
I tell him just know ain't nobody ever did it as big
|
It'll never be the same in this city again
|
Closest you'll get is me & Jeezy & them
|
So dawg, if it seem like you left behind, 10 steps behind
|
Just know it only get better with time, for real.
|
|
[Chorus: T.I.]
|
I know the times seem long, just try & keep strong
|
Put on your headphones & rewind this song
|
Remember You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
I promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
Hey, just know the club on hold & the broads on pause
|
You get home, it's gon' be waitin' on y'all
|
So dawg, just know for real You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes
|
I promise You Ain't Missin' Nothin' homes.
|
|
[T.I. talking:]
|
Hey, what's up, Kell?
|
| Shawty, we comin' to get you my nigga, just hold still, man, stay out of trouble, man. |
