Coming Home
Diddy · Last Train to Paris (with Dirty Money) [2010]
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming
[Diddy]
I'm back where I belong, Yeah, I never felt so strong
(Yeah, I'm back baby)
I'm feeling like there's nothing that I can't try
And if you're with me, put your hands high (put your hands high)
If you ever lost a light before, this ones for you
And you, the dreams are for you
I hear "The Tears of a Clown",I hate that song
I always feel like they talking to me when it comes on
Another day, another Dawn
Another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone
What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on
It's easy to be Puff, but it's harder to be Sean
What if the twins ask why I ain't marry their mom (why, damn!)
How do I respond?
What if my son stares with a face like my own
And says he wants to be like me when he's grown
Sh-t! But I ain't finished growing
Another night the inevitable prolongs
Another day, another Dawn
Just tell Kiesha and Teresa I'll be better in the morn'
Another light that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong
[Dirty Money - Chorus]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming home
[Diddy - Verse 2]
"A house is Not a Home", I hate this song
Is a house really a home when your loved ones is gone
And n-ggas got the nerve to blame you for it
And you know you would of took the bullet if you saw it
But you felt it and still feel it
And money can't make up for it, or conceal it
But you deal with it and you keep ballin'
Pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'
Baby we've been living in sin 'cause we've been really in love
But we've been living as friends
So you've been a guest in your own home
It's time to make your house your home
Pick up your phone, come on
[Dirty Money - Chorus]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming
[Diddy - Verse 3]
"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", I love that song
Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
We back cruising through Harlem, Viso blocks
It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
Drove me away than embraced me
Forgave me for all of my shortcomings
Welcome to my homecoming
Yeah it's been a long time coming
Lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
Lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
Made it back, lost my dog (I miss you BIG)
And here I stand, a better man! (a better man)
Thank you Lord (Thank you Lord)
[Dirty Money - Chorus]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming....home
About Coming Home
"Coming Home" by Diddy, featured on the 2010 collaborative album *Last Train to Paris (with Dirty Money)*, stands as a pivotal track in the evolution of hip-hop's R&B fusion. Released during a period where Diddy sought to redefine his sonic identity beyond the crunk era, the song blends smooth vocal delivery with a polished, soulful production style that characterizes the Dirty Money collective. The recording reflects the artist's continued exploration of melodic rap and neo-soul influences, aiming to connect with a broader audience through an emotive and sophisticated sound. As part of a larger discography that includes earlier hits like "Real Niggas" and "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down," this track demonstrates Diddy's commitment to crafting high-quality, radio-ready music that balances commercial appeal with artistic depth. The song remains a notable example of the genre's shift toward more introspective and harmonically rich compositions in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
