[English]

I'm 'bout to do this shit, sick of sitting here

Only got a couple years before I disappear

I don't know, I'm just a man

But there's more inside me than these people understand

Oh, I think it's time I went and found a way

I'm looking for something different to clear my mind

I'm headed to someplace distant, that I might not find

And I know that you're worried, I won't make it, but

No, don't worry, I'm gon' make it home (home, home)

I could die, I'ma do it though

Hope my life becomes a symbol of what's beautiful

Take it there, make it back

All these people think I'm crazy, I'm okay with that

Oh, I think it's time I went and found a way

I'm looking for something different to clear my mind

I'm headed to someplace distant, that I might not find

And I know that you're worried, I won't make it, but

No, don't worry, I'm gon' make it home

(Home, home)

(Home, home)
