homecoming - jon protege lyrics

live it up or i won’t live it down
ain’t n0body have it all figure out
so if tomorrow goes terribly will you stick around?
here to take care of you but i’ve gotta take care of me
so at the very least this music is therapy
do it for where i am not where i’ll be
even if you’ll have to miss me unbearably
and they say there’s no guarantees
but i’ve been on this before i met you
soon you’ll see there’s no comparing me
if you like me for what i might become
what if i let you down when i’ve been living at just the right speed?
tell me you’ll stay down, don’t expect i’ll fall behind
you could leave any day now but i’ve got me all the time
my faucet’s broken i’ve been hot and cold
i know your love tank’s dry my thoughts have been on the go
emotionally drained, won’t focus my energy on what i cannot control
then i ask myself, what’s what we have without sacrifice?
the same thing at the end of them bragging rights
what is the cost of gunning for everything we want
and when does it lead to self*sabotage? ‘cause uh

when i’m too far above that cloud
you tell me that i need to come back down
or i won’t ever grow up
and them castles in the air i won’t reach
but all this time i’ve been home free
with my eyes on the prize and right where i should be
so if you stay by my side
all i ask from you is ride or die
gimme a blank slate forget the accolades
i’m feeling like my talent’s just in being who i am today
feeling like money ain’t thing we gon’ wreck shop
even with the struggle the journey’s the best part
and i’m feeling like that’s the only difference between
chasing a fantasy and living the dream
people always used to ask about the album
how it’s been taking forever i made a phantom out of it
every time it came december broke another promise
they thought i was chasing perfection when i wasn’t
but the mind behind the music had to change for the better
to give ‘em something they would remember when i’m honest
and be here in the way you deserve
no wonder those pressures felt like the weight of the world
but i ask ‘em, will you take that leap of faith with me?
will you ever turn from friend to foe or be unwavering?
are you really rooting for? do you just want what’s mine?
i’m not for one*upmanship, there’s things i won’t compromise
do you have my best interests or will you hold me back?
and when it’s going bad be there if ever i fall and winter’s freezing?
or only when i spring up? like the fair*weather
‘cause summer only close when it’s in season
and people can say anything
i’ve had to be motivated like nothing was ever waiting on me

and when i’m too far above that cloud
you tell me that i need to come back down
or i won’t ever grow up
and them castles in the air i won’t reach
but all this time i’ve been home free
with my eyes on the prize and right where i should be
so if you stay by my side
all i ask from you is ride or die
and tell me you won’t go
tell me you won’t
tell me you won’t
tell me you won’t go
‘cause it’s my homecoming
tell me you won’t go
tell me you won’t
tell me you won’t
tell me you won’t go
‘cause it’s my homecoming

i hope you gain the world without losing your soul
i hope your truth hits you like a ton of bricks and find
you can be worth your weight in gold
and never go broke because of it until your effort is justified
i hope this can be yours as much as it is mine
i hope you’re willing to live rough if that’s what it takes
and if you’re built for it, i hope the rest align
for everything that you had to give up, until it’s actualized
on a path n0body can deny
and they don’t need to gas you up when you have the drive
so it ain’t all for nothing
and all that glitters is not like those wings to the soul that got you in top flight, singing
