Take me away to a place called home
To a place they call Brooks City (City)
And you know this sound for real
Take me away to a place called home
To a place they call Brooks City (City)
And you know this sound for real
Young child he was a young child dreaming
Hadn't witnessed much of life but this young child scheming
He's dreaming of realities to be the next star and what they say
Boy you better go far
He had lots of goals even though he was just a child
Rapping mixed with boy bands influenced for miles
He wants to be on stages and you can't tell him no
Baby stay in school and let the good times grow fasho
But what's a youngin to do
When your daddy leaves your home and there's minimal food
Oh when your daddy leaves your home and he's not by your side
Baby lift your head don't you lay down and cry alright
He picks himself back up
Family got a rep but himself bad luck
Mission incomplete as he stares for awhile
It's never gonna change gonna be here for a while
But see that's what makes him better
That's what makes him great
That's what makes this kid look around every day
Looking out the window to A Place Called Home
Anxiously awaiting the day he sits on his throne
Take me away to a place called home
To a place they call Brooks City (City)
And you know this sound for real
Take me away to a place called home
To a place they call Brooks City (City)
And you know this sound for real
Hurry run outside baby go grab a bike
So you can ride off in the sunset with Friends by your side
Forgetting for a moment what he felt back home
It's 1999 and he feels all alone
His zone was never killed by the vibe
Back when CiCi's was only $2.99
5 Floyd Burgers for that $1.25
Up at Car-Vel cause we're skating tonight
You see life's so short and life's so great
Nostalgic visions of the past wish we could relate
Relationships of past make the good times strong
I wish it never changed reminisce this song
You see life's so short and life's so great
Nostalgic visions of the past wish we could relate
Relationships of past make the good times strong
I wish it never changed reminisce this song
But see that's what makes him better
That's what makes him great
That's what makes this kid look around every day
He's looking out that window to a place called home
Anxiously awaiting the day he sits on his throne
