[Hook: Adele]

Round my hometown, memories are fresh

Round my hometown, oh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders now


[Verse 1: Chance The Rapper]

She say she wanna stay with the bloods and crips

Feel the front strips of inner city cliques

Where free cunt strips and young blood drips

And kids falls through the holes of hollow gun tips and

You wanna harm me, don’t try to call me

You ain’t gon’ bore me

Your slipping from my palm trees

Aw baby, baby please re-l-a-x

Together we about as fly as LAX

And, I don’t wanna hafta call you my ex

Well babe, I don’t wanna hafta call you collect

See, she say she got dreams to follow

How'm I ever be a man again she wants to be a model

My sunshine and light got stole away

Once the golden state took my gold away

Cali


[Hook: Adele]

Round my hometown, memories are fresh

Round my hometown, oh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders now


[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]

You scold as you walk past him

No more truth laying we only talk sarcasm

Strutting, out there, need to be a model

Now you can catch me giving hickies to beer bottles

Get it? cause I’m kissing the neck, giving her heck

For whether not you give 'em respect

I know if you go, you just might blow

But if you leave, you can catch more than a cold

Bulimia, anorexia, you skip meals

You don’t make the cut, but that’s how your wrist feel

Conscript script slits in the hands of an actress

In the acting world you’ll find allies on the axis

You’ll find actresses in alleys on their backs

With directors giving oral in return for a practice


[Hook: Adele]

Round my hometown, memories are fresh

Round my hometown, oh the people I've met

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders now


[Verse 3]

Trees, trees please don’t leave

The trees will be changed, when it rains will they shelter you?

We was kissing under a tree when I fell for you

I thought that you was real

I guess I couldn’t tell the truth

Trees go knee deep in the dirt

They reach for the sky but they’re still down to earth

But you, you just leave like leaves in the autumn

Didn't think you would get on, get gone and just out them

Doubt them and reroute them not count them

I never leave you for the chance of an album

Your roots stay deeper, I can’t de-weed ya

I can’t walk away, away from this tree uh

And, as bad as I wanna see you running back

I could never ever ever be your lumberjack

Cali


[Outro: Adele]

Oh

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of my world

Are the wonders of this world

Are the wonders of my world
