[Intro – Kanye West]
Yeah.
And you say Chi city,
Chi city, Chi city

[Chorus – Chris Martin]
I’m coming home again.
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I’m coming home again
I’m in home again.

[Verse 1 – Kanye West]
I met this girl when I was three years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don’t know me- but,
My name is Windy and, I like to blow trees and,
From that point I never blow her off,
They can come from outta town I like to show her off,
They like to act tough, she like to tow em off,
And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft
And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown
And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding
And I told her in my heart is where she always be
She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave
She said it felt like they walked and drove on me
Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me
I guess it’s why last winter she got so cold on me
She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me

[Chorus – Chris Martin]
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Cause I’m coming home again
I’m in home again
Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then?
Oh, now I’m coming home again

Maybe we can start again

[Jay-Z]
Mmm, you don’t understand now be..cause you’re cryin, and you hurt
You’ll understand soon enough.. soon enough

[Singer overlaps Jay-Z]
Let him hold you, let him touch you
Soon you’ll un-der-stand

[Jay-Z]
You’re my best friend’s sister, grown woman and all
But you see how I am around girls; I ruin ’em all
Plus your mom call me son, around you since I was small
S–t I watched you mature – nah, this ain’t right
But still when your boyfriend ditched you, life’s a b—h you cried
Over my right shoulder I told you to wipe your eyes
Take your time when you likin a guy
Cause if he sense that your feelings too intense, it’s pimp or die
I bought you earrings on your birthday
Drove you to college your first day
It must be sad, though it hurts to say
We could never be a item, don’t even like him
You deserve better – this is ugly; Gina, please don’t love me
There’s better guys out there other than me
(You need a lawyer or a doctor or somebody like that you know)
Like a lawyer or a doctor with a Ph.D
Think of how upset your mother and brother would be
if they found that you was huggin me
My conscience is f–kin with me
