Intro – echoing, lonely]
Yeahhh…
Ooooh-woah…
Wish I could go home…
Wish I could go home…
⸻
[Hook – emotional, floating]
Starin’ at the walls, can’t feel my soul no more,
Locked up, prayin’ for a knock on the door…
Mama, I miss you, I swear that I’m tryin’,
Baby, I love you, I’m tired of lyin’…
Tell my lil’ bro I’m still fightin’ my fight,
Tell my girl I still dream ’bout her every night,
Writin’ these letters just to keep my mind right—
Feelin’ like the moon’s my only sunlight…
⸻
[Verse 1 – melodic pain]
I been countin’ up the days, countin’ up the miles,
Countin’ up the memories just to feel you for a while.
These guards look through me, like I’m not even alive,
But your voice in my head is the reason I survive.
Daddy on the phone sayin’, “Son, stay strong,”
Mama tryna hide it but I know somethin’s wrong,
My girl sent a picture with her tears on the frame—
Said she still mine even though the world changed.
I been prayin’ that the judge gon’ break these chains,
But the system got a way of lovin’ our pain.
Still, I promise I’ma make it out and fix my name,
Hold you close again and never be the same…

[Hook – layered vocals]
Starin’ at the walls, can’t feel my soul no more,
Locked up, prayin’ for a knock on the door…
Mama, I miss you, I swear that I’m tryin’,
Baby, I love you, I’m tired of lyin’…
Tell my lil’ bro I’m still fightin’ my fight,
Tell my girl I still dream ’bout her every night,
Writin’ these letters just to keep my mind right—
Feelin’ like the moon’s my only sunlight…

[Verse 2 – heavier emotion]
They don’t know the pain of a five-year sentence,
Time movin’ slow and my mind need mendin’,
Think about the nights when the sky stayed glowin’,
Now I see bars where the stars stopped showin’.
Baby, don’t forget me when the world keeps spinnin’,
I’m here but my heart still home with you livin’.
Every time I read your letters, it’s a heartbeat given,
Only thing that keep me from the dark I’m in.
Got a picture of my fam on the side of my bunk,
Got a picture of my girl that I keep in my trunk,
I’ma hold it in my hands when the nights feel rough,
Tell myself over and over, “You enough.”
One day I’ma break out, walk into the sun,
Hold you in my arms when the time finally come.
Till then, I’ma pray when the long nights hit—
Ain’t no bars strong enough to kill my spirit…

[Outro – lonely, echoing away]
Yeahhh…
Ooooh-woah…
Miss you… miss you…
Every night… every night…
Just wait for me… I’m comin’ home someday…
