Back Home Lyrics - The Thesis - Ambassador

(feat. Karan Sabir) 

[Chorus] 

You, in the Maybach 

Laid back with the wave cap 

Make your way back home 

You, in the Von Dutch 

Louis Vuittoned up 

Girl, your times up- come back home 

You, with the corn rows and the long fros 

Lookin' all swole, come back home 

You, pretty princess 

In the pink dress with the pink vest come back home 

[Verse One] 

I represent a people that fell through the cracks 

Their creative- you can tell it from the wealth of their raps 

They gotta story 

Which some are known to tell on their backs 

Or through graffiti 

Others use music and tell it through wax 

Take it back 

I would cause those are relevant facts 

But that was back when we were midgets on a elephant's back 

But today we're the elephants that 

Other people wanna stand on 

We're no longer still in the back 

But problems have emerged like the sellin' of crack 

Kids'll put a shell in a gat 

Then put a shell in your back 

And there's a gap between Hip-Hop and the church 

Leavin' them stranded like a rescue team stop to a search 

But now it's on 

That era's gone a new era's born 

They never met Christ 

They only met Farrakhan 

Well it's changing cause now we're pickin' up the pieces 

Expect to see the ecclesia givin' ya to Jesus 

[Chorus] 

[Verse Two] 

We're all apart of the original fall away 

In Adam we all fall and y'all it was all the way 

Yeah we're lost 

But the message of the cross has been bearin' fruit 

But only seems to be for lost souls wearin' suits 

Back in the day when my Pop's was growing up 

Saved or not on Sunday your hind parts was showin' up 

Forget it you headed directly to the steeple 

Church was on and poppin' especially for the Negro 

But today, Hip-Hop's got new affinities 

Money, power, and sex, and a lot of new trinities 

Church or the club? 

They'll chose club life quickly 

Look, you can find them in the club like 50 

As for ushers I've seen theirs 

He dances without a shirt and the guy screams, "Yeah" 

Plus they get to see Lil' Jon 

It's ludacris if you think you're gonna see them read a little John 

[Verse Three] 

Peep God's people- called out of evil 

We do more than hang under a steeple 

Meet the lethal adversary call it the flesh 

A new status but a body with old habits- all of it meshed 

All with no rest we fight 

Can't just do what we please 

We're like kids and sin's like the new Chuck E. Cheese 

So, we strive to give him all not just 10 % 

Cause we're called to live life different not influenced 

Instead we influence things 

Been convinced sin ruins things 

No longer them sensual beings 

So it's gonna be tight 

And it's on every night 

But if loving sin is wrong, we wanna be right 

So each morning we fight and tell the body relax 

Don't feed the flesh and you watch how the body reacts 

We've gotta read Acts cause it's an all out war 

Kind of thing that you've got to be called out for 

[Chorus]
