When You Come Home

[Hook: Kate Walsh] When you come home, I'll stop this When you come home, I'll hide it good I'll never cry again When you come home to me [Verse 1: Tuan X] Baby girl, I'm a solder. A "war machine." Made for this battlefield, my own regime "One man army," my own Marine - my own fatigues. All pressed out Dressed out, no broken seams Might got a couple broken dreams But that don't phase me. I'm fugacious Bred for this shit, baby, I embrace this They gon' blame me if I'm abrasive "There's rules to this shit," but I lost the manual Blame Emmanuel, but that's off topic I'm stackin' cake in hopes that we'll top it One day. You get me? You shaved your head, girl, you Britney? Heard you lost weight, you Whitney? Oh, too soon? Pardon me Blame this life for why I hardly see you Hardly breathe you. Remember when I Used to harp & tease you? Heard you graduatin' I'm proud of you. I smile for you Though I usually don't. Hold back tears Yea, I usually front. Stuff all my feelings In this broke down suitcase, threw it in a trunk Drove it off a cliff & I called it "love." But it ain't though & I get this Yea, I might'a had a couple mistresses But I won't tell, if you don't tell If we don't tell, then it's oh well We gon' build this castle Back up to the point where it used to be See the truth in me? Cuz' I got a room for two I'll be home soon, gotta grind for you [Verse 2: Tuan X] Lost a couple brothers in this war of mine - war of mind War ain't kind on this battlefield Blood, it pour like water do, glad it ain't mine But I feel jinxed every time I think on it But we feel ease every time we speak on it Don't we? I live for the talks Holdin' hands, I miss all the walks Holdin' grands don't fill all the wants Loose ones don't fill all the needs I wanna lay root, wanna plant a seed I wanna bear fruit, wanna be a tree Build a legacy, breed a dynasty Make my Mama proud, make her "Granny T." Ha! Raise a family (Raise a family?) Yea, ask me that like two years ago; I probably woulda told you, "you lost your marbles ... Toodles!" But this the path that I choose to walk on & you the spot that I choose to park on This the life that I chose to lead & this the army I chose to fight for This the cause that I chose to die for! But I pray I never have to though All I ask for if your commitment No resistance, hold the scrutiny Shed the tears, I shed them too Keep them fears, I got them too A few more years and I'm out this game & I never wanna ever see its face again! Just promise me you'll wait for me Patiently.. Patiently.. Ugh.. [Bridge: Kate Walsh] I saw you again, I knew just where'd you be I'll stop this real soon when you're back safe with me
