Hometown

(album: Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley, Chapter 1: Snake Oil - 2020)

Let me take you to my hometown, show you who I was
Everything it don't have, everything it does
Let me show you where I'm from
'Cause it made me who I've become

Let me take you to my first house
It was red then, but it's painted white
First house with best friends every Friday night
Roofs that I smoked on, streets that I wrecked on
Methodist church bells and Mexican restaurants

We'll pump gas before we pay for it
On some backroad, ain't got no name for it
Headlights shining to forever
Promise you gon' know me better

Let me take you to my hometown, show you who I was
Everything it don't have, everything it does
Let me show you where I'm from
'Cause it made me who I've become (Who I've become)
Let me take you to my hometown, show you who I was
Everything it don't have, everything it does
Let me show you where I'm from

Let me take you to my

Ease down a highway, one that lead me to you

We'll pump gas before we pay for it
On some backroad, ain't got no name for it
Headlights shining to forever
Promise you gon' know me better

Let me take you to my hometown, show you who I was
Everything it don't have, everything it does
Let me show you where I'm from
'Cause it made me who I've become (Who I've become)
Let me take you to my hometown, show you who I was
Everything it don't have, everything it does
Let me show you where I'm from
'Cause it made me who I've become (Show you where I'm from)
Let me take you to my

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh (Show you where I'm, show, show, show, show)
(Show you where I'm, show you where I'm from)
Oh, oh
(Show you where I'm, show you where I'm from, from, from, from)

Let me take you to my hometown, show you who I was
Everything it don't have, everything it does
Let me show you where I'm from
'Cause it made me who I've become
Let me take you to my hometown, show you who I was
Everything it don't have, everything it does
Let me show you where I'm from
