APEXTEND — Comin' Home [Cinematic Hip-Hop]

APEXTEND — Comin' Home Lyrics: Ten years. Ten years since I left this street behind. Promised my mama I'd come back and shine. She stood on that porch, hand raised to the sun. Said "go get your life, boy — go get it. Go run." I carried that promise through every hard mile. Every closed door. Every fake smile. Every night I called just to hear her voice. Every choice I made — it was really her choice. I'm comin' home. I'm comin' home. Carryin' more than these bones. I walked alone. But I'm comin' home. Slept in cars. Worked three jobs on empty. Chased a dream that felt too far to reach me. Some nights I almost turned around. Almost quit. Almost let the weight just pull me down. But her voice— Still in my head, still so clear: "Keep walkin', baby. Don't you dare stop here." So I kept my feet movin'. Through the dark. Through the cold. Kept the promise burnin' even when the hope felt old. I'm comin' home. I'm comin' home. Carryin' more than these bones. I walked alone. But I'm comin' home. Then the call came. Not the one I was waitin' for. "Come home now, son. She's askin' for you." I didn't make it in time. Stood at her bedside. Held a hand gone still. Whispered "I made it, Ma" — knowin' I always will. She's in the wind now. She's in every street. She's in the promise still alive beneath my feet. So I don't grieve small. I grieve like a flame. I turn every tear into sayin' her name. This ain't the end of the story she gave. This the part where I build on the ground that she paved. I'm home now. I'm home now. Standin' tall on holy ground. Every road that pulled me down led me back — led me home now. This block raised me. She raised me. And now it's my turn to raise it up. — APEXTEND · Some of it belongs together. None of it had to.
