Coming Home

I just love this song from a much older and wiser Diddy, "Coming Home". It's so repentant yet triumphant at the same time. The original video is here. Below are some of the lyrics :)

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world I'm coming home

Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday

I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming...

I'm back where I belong

I never felt so strong

I'm back and I 'm feeling there's nothing I can try

And if you with me put your hands high...

What am I s'posed to do when the club lights come on?

It's easy to be Puff, but it's harder to be Sean
What if the twins ask why I ain't marry their mom?

Why? Damn! How do I respond? 

What if my son stares with a face like my own

And says he wants to be like me when he's grown?
Shit! But I ain't finished growing
Another night the inevitable prolongs

Another day another dawn
Just tell Keisha and Taresha I'll be better in the morn'
Another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong...

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world I'm coming home

Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday

I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming...

Is a house really a home when your loved ones are gone?...

But you felt it and still feel it 

And money can't make up for it or conceal it
But you deal with it and you keep ballin'...

Baby we've been living in sin 

'Cause we've been really in love but we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your home
Pick up the phone, come on

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world I'm coming home

Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday

I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming...

"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", I love that song 

Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
'Till we back cruising through Harlem, Viso blocks
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away then embraced me, forgave me
For all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah it's been a long time coming

Lot of fights, lot of scars,
Lot of bottles, lot of cars,
Lot of ups, lot of downs,
Made it back, lost my dog
I miss you B.I.G.
But here I stand,
A better man
Thank you Lord
Thank you Lord!

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world I'm coming home

Let the rain wash away

(Feels so good)

All the pain of yesterday

(Feels so free)

I know my kingdom awaits

(Ain't no place like home, baby)

And they've forgiven my mistakes

(Ain't no place like home)

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming...

I'm coming home
