[Verse]

I wouldn't want her to move back, back here

Don't move back, back here

I'll come visit in the summer

I'll come visit in the summer

Mama found a good man back home

A good man back home

I'll come visit in the summer

I'll come visit in the summer

We ain't gonna beg a place that kicked her out and made her pay to let her back in

I'll come visit in the summer

I'll come visit in the summer

Yeah, five years taught me who home is

Eleven years taught me who home is

I'll come visit in the summer

I'll come visit in the summer

My late papa's mama said, "Boy you should know your history, they took slaves from the East and the West too" (Woah)

I'll go visit in the summer

I'll go visit in the summer

I ain't been to see his childhood since I tossed flowers in the sea

Plane took him with his suitcase, oh, oh-oh

I'll go visit in the summer

I'll go visit in the summer

Irony of my name

Irony of my name

I'll go visit in the summer

I'll go visit in the summer, ooh, woah-oh, oh-oh

His last words sounded just like kings

I guess he was, he called me "Na-na"

I guess he was, he called me "Na-na"

So you ain't gon' call me out my name

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

We pray with our feet now

Therefore, there for, therefore

Therefore, there for, therefore

Therefore, there for, therefore
