For the sake of our sons, ayy
Pride of our daughters, ayy
Time to come on home, ayy

Wanna fight? Try us

Wanna fight? Try us

Baby, come home (Come home)
You ain't been home in a minute, ooh

[Verse 3: Eric Bellinger]

Life is like a movie, not a video
Had to feel real love so I'm comin' home (Skrrt, yeah)
I need peace of mind (Woah)
Sweeter than the lean that I don't know what they sippin'
They be doin' things that you can't believe, yeah

[Verse 4: Big K.R.I.T]
Young Krizzle shawty
I been classy since the classes drawing major window fashion
Kickin' flavor, [?]
Bring the bands if they clashin'
Where you be at? Been an G that with my kids
Sonic boomin', ain't no losin'
If you H-B-C-U-D that, whoo
Slow it down a bit, the class in session (Class)
You know black is gold if you had to listen
Persevere so we play up aggression
I knew I was king and born to be since my adolescence
Been walkin' since school days and I ain't wake up with my momma yet (Wake up)
Been had five on it (Five on it)
Put our lives on it (Lives on it)
Gather the old school with some wives and put some miles on it, uh
No denial on it (No denial)
Yeah, the crowd want it (Ayy)
I took that shot, they tried to block, I penalize for it
Sonic boomin', I ain't playin' if you kiddin'
Class act with the digits
We got knowledge, come and get it
We too good like [?] be supreme with it
I'm talkin' always be a king, be a queen with it
Young Krizzle

[Verse 4: Kandi]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Love my skin, love my color
Melanin blessed me, cocoa butter
Not my kin but that's my brother
We rise up, uplift each other
I am my brother and he is me
My fight, my struggle, our victory
Can't hold us back, stronger as we
Can't hold us back, stronger as we
Come on

[Instrumental: Trombone Shorty]
