Damn… another night, another city…
Sitting in this empty room, staring at my phone…
My lil’ one sent me a voice note, sayin’ she miss me…
Man… this the price we pay for a better life, huh?
I just hope they know… I ain’t home, but my heart never left.

Long roads, heavy steps, sweat drippin’ down,
Ain’t no time for weakness, gotta hold my ground,
I do this for the fam, for the food on their plate,
Even when my soul aches, I embrace my fate.
Late nights, FaceTime, see my baby girl,
"Papa, when you comin’ back? I miss your world."
My chest tightens up, but I fake a smile,
Gotta chase these dreams, I’ll be home in a while.

I ain’t home, but I still miss you,
Every breath I take, girl, I feel you,
Distance hurts, but my love stays true,
Hold on tight, I’ll come back to you.

City lights cold, but the grind keep me warm,
Hustlin’ every day just to weather the storm,
Tryna stack bread so my lil’ man won’t struggle,
Tryna build a life where we ain’t gotta juggle.
Some nights I break, wanna drop to my knees,
Tired of this life where love feels like a tease,
But your voice in my ear keeps me holdin’ strong,
"You a king, keep pushin’, won’t be gone for long."

I ain’t home, but I still miss you,
Every breath I take, girl, I feel you,
Distance hurts, but my love stays true,
Hold on tight, I’ll come back to you.

Check the calendar, another year pass,
Time movin’ fast, but I’m stuck in the past,
Tryna make amends for the days I ain’t there,
Tryna build a future where love ain't rare.
Every prayer you whisper in the dead of the night,
I hear it loud and clear, it’s my reason to fight,
Ain’t no mountain high, ain't no river too wide,
I’ma make it home, God be my guide.

We promised each other, we’d rise above,
Now I’m grindin’ hard, tryna prove my love,
Don’t shed no tears, just wait and see,
I’ma bring back dreams for you and me.

I ain’t home, but I still miss you…
Every night I pray, just to be with you…
