I'm comin' home

I said i'm comin' home

I'm comin' home

I said i'm comin' home

I just can't wait to get back home



I'm comin' home

(back to l.a.)

I said i'm comin' home

I'm comin' home

(ba-back to l.a.)

I said i'm comin' home

I'm comin' home

(back to l.a.)

I said i'm comin' home

(ba-back to l.a.)



Damn, it's good to be back home

In city streets where i used to roam

The neighborhood has changed

But somethin' always stays the same

Liquor stores on every other block

I see my homies so i make a stop

And though i'm tempted

I won't fall back in the game



My next stop is filled with love

Because it's moms and pops i'm thinkin' of

As i get closer, i smell the bar-b-q

And as i step into the yard

My grandma shouts "i praise the lord"

And so do the honeys, uh

This'll be so cool

To be back home



Where i belong

I'm back in l.a.

Where i used to stay

Where i long to be

This is home for me

Back in l.a.



As the party starts to coolin' out

You know me, and here's what i'm thinkin' 'bout

Gettin' with a cutie

'cause i don't have much time

(my flight leaves at nine)

Should i go with the one that i know well?

Or swing a new one back to my hotel?

It really doesn't matter

'cause all of them are so fine



Now, um, uh

I think i know what kind of woman you are

So what would you do for a klondike bar?

Would you swing from a chandelier?

Or maybe whisper "oh monty" with your tongue in my ear

I tell ya girl, if you're the one that i choose

I'm knockin' boots and pumps

And any other kind of shoes

And you could keep my drawers as memoirs

Of my last day, when monty swing was back in l.a.



Where i belong

This is home for me

I'm back in l.a., yeah

Where i long to be

Back in l.a.

Oh oh, oh oh



As a tear comes to my eye

It's so hard to say goodbye

I would like to stay, but i got other plans

So i tip my cap with ease

I treasure all those precious memories

'cause i got to get back out to all of my fans



Now it's off to atlanta ga

And i might stop in d.c. on the way

Chillin' on the east coast

But just a little while

But no matter where i go

I will always let you know

That i'm singing this south central l.a. style



And i'm back home

Where i belong

I'm back in l.a.

Where i used to stay

Where i long to be

This is home for me

Back in l.a.

Oh oh, oh oh



I'm chillin' on crenshaw

On 54th street

On 4th avenue

This might be new to you

But i'm goin' on home

This is where i belong

I'm back in l.a.

Oh oh, oh oh
