Home For The Holidays Lyrics - Friday Night Lights - J. Cole

Hey, this is the story of a young? n dreamin 

Left his city to see if he could be what he dreamin? 

Big city on his own sh-t 

But every now and then a n-gga get home sick 

Pick up the phone, holla at my partner he telling em, be warned 

A lot of sh-t been changing the time you? ve been gone 

The streets got meaner, the hoes got growner 

And went and got baby? s the day they got a diploma 

Damn, there? ll be some n-ggas missing when you fly back 

If you black, they sending you to jail or to Iraq 

Old buddy that we hoop with, with a bad chick and a fly lac 

Anda gold chain, caught him on a merc, tryna buy crack 

Damn homie, sh-t, in high school you was the man homie 

F-ck happened to you, 

Used to beat n-ggas down at the buses after school 

Now you looking like a muthaf-cking fool

[Chorus] 

Say I? ll be home for the holidays 

So when you see me, better holla at me 

I gotta get up put this city ? fore it try to trap me 

I gotta leave, i wish I could stay 

But I? ll be home for the holidays 

And to those that I used to know 

From way before, keep your head up 

Come lets get this bread up 

Girl, I gotta go, wish I could stay 

But I? m coming hme for the holidays

[J. Cole - Verse 2] 

This is a story bout some puppy love 

But at the time boy, I was feeling like this must be love 

Although now Im on my grown sh-t 

She mad as hell, a n-gga still get home sick 

I was fresh up off a scholarship 

Dressed like a black man in college sh-t 

Got a little knowledge now Im following the politics 

But I still gotta holla at my old chick 

So sweet, so thick, girl pick up your phone, it? s me 

She said ? we aint homies no more? 

You go to college and you act like you don? t know me no more 

Girl, we got history semester seem so long 

The last time I seen ya baby you aint have no clothes on 

So if history repeats itself 

When I get home, girl its on, you aint gone need ya belt 

Or your pants or your drawers, then we hit the rewind 

Just don? t give it up in the meantime 

[Chorus] 

[J. Cole - Verse 3] 

Man i reminisce on them school days 

I know you know them act a fool days 

That missed the bus then hit the blunt and go to school blazed 

That trying to get laid so i gotta stay fly 

But a n-gga had a shot you? d have thought thats where the bulls play 

Wished this freshman could used a little Kool-aid 

Crushing on them upper clansmen but it was tool late 

Buddy she was dating he had the freshest shoes 

But the n-gga was graduated but he never made two a? s 

Hey if you? re listening we got in to school 

But who will pay our tuition man 

These n-ggas crazy 

One year cost about the same as a Mercedes (benz) 

Four years cost white crib and a baby 

Ay maybe this aint for me 

If only i could be Lebron with the strength to leave 

The worst part about growing up man the shit just aint for free 

Maybe i can be someone people pay to see 

And maybe i should move up outta here to the place to be 

To get from a to z ay what you think im crazy 

If i told you one day that Imma sign with jay-z 

And will i make it i guess we gotta wait and see 

[Chorus]
