[sample of "Time to Go Home" by Otis G. Johnson]
{"It's time to gooooo home!"}

[Chorus: Amber Navran]
I pushed aside the truth
Cause ain't no days are promised
I know I made mistakes
Trying to beg quiet
I gave away my peace
But I know where to find it
I'm going {"-home"}
I'm going {"-home"}
Hooooome

[Rapsody] (Amber)
I spent way too much time tryna fit in - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
Layin on this flo' dyin, flashin through my life
And everybody say it's cool but where dey? - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
Tellin me we young and how we only gon' live once
And this the only way to fully enjoy this party - {"Gather all your-" "-home!"}
But I was having fun before I ever took the risk
And now they bangin on my chest telling me it's - {"Time to gooooo home!"}
Thinkin 'bout my family, know that this one gon' hurt 'em, honest
Damn, I'm sorry mama, but I gotta - {"It's time to gooooo home!"} (Going home, home)
Tell grandmomma I love her, if you see my baby, hug her
Cause these people said I gotta go - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
Save Jordan's for my brother, tell little sister, your daughter
Peer pressure is coming, it's real mama {"Gather all your-" "-home!"}
And none of that is cool, but it's her decision to choose
Just remember me when it's yo' time - {"Time to gooooo home!"}

[Chorus]

[Rapsody] (Amber)
Brought my baby out to play today - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
Thinkin when I saw 'em arguing, this can't be good  
I told her, "C'mon, c-c'mon, baby!" - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
Now we lyin right here dying and it hurts I couldn't save her
Why they'd have to shoot my baby, God?? {"Gather all your-" "-home!"}
Over colors she would color wit, tomorrow I know they'll both forget us
When it's time for us to go - {"It's time to gooooo home!"} (Going home, home)
Bought her building blocks just yesterday - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
So excited to play but now there's blood soaking her clothes
And we ain't have NAY'N to do wit it - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
Why they have to trip?? We was just out here enjoying the day
And now they had to come and ruin shit - {"Gather all your-" "-home!"}
Now we layin on the ground and everything around me fadin
Cause I know deep down, it's time for us to - {"It's time to gooooo home!"} (Hoooome, ohh)
"I was having fun, then momma told me..." - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
 Then I heard that thang go bang bang, bang-bang-bang-bang!
 Now we lyin and it's time for us to... - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
 She grabbed me, tried to run but it was far too late
 and now we staring at the sun, she waitin on me {"Gather all your-" "-home!"}
 I hope you don't forget us and I pray that God forgive you
 when it's finally your time, your time..." - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}

[Bridge: Amber Navran]
Sweet sounds of hellos and I'm so undistracted
I remember winds, and long goodbyes and ashes
I will find my strength at last, my mind captive
I'm going, I'm going... (Going home, home)

[Rapsody] (Amber)
We were starin at the sun too
We were shootin at each other and now we both dying too
I got a family and I know he got a family too
I'm prayin to my God and he prayin to his too
He fightin for his family and I'm fightin for mine too
Money, oil, land, gold, the only plan was to make it back safe
with both my feet and hands, but now it's time to - (Going home, home)
Well now I'm on my way back goin - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
They'll give my wife a flag and tell my sons how brave their dad was
And when I make it back home - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}
I hope they save the letters, pics and now how much I wish
I wish it wasn't time for me to - {"Gather all your-" "-home!"}
But know I had 'em on my heart and I ain't want no Purple Heart
I'm sorry baby but I gotta go - {"It's time to gooooo home!"}

[Chorus]
