This one goes out to the ones that feel like an underdog Used to write me off, now they´re changin´ up the dialog Raise a glass to the passin´ all ´em, now we´re provin´ wrong You can take me out the city, but I brought my fam´ along, yeah And the memories are playin´ my head But I won´t let ´em burn me again I came too far just to let go Baby, I´m comin´ back home, comin´ back home

And my city knew my name before the name came Livin´ in the fast lane, ain´t have to change lanes Had a hoodie on my head, before the rain came Sometimes family and friends, that´s the same thing I thought I knew all about pain, ´til the pain came But I´m still in the hall of fame, ´cause I ain´t hate the game
Never cared ´bout what it is or what it was Never life your life in fear, live in love For my city, shed tears and shed blood In my city, I lost the ones that I love
