About Coming Home

"Coming Home" is a song by American rapper and producer Diddy and his group Dirty Money, from their debut album Last Train to Paris (2010). It was released on November 21, 2010, as the album's fourth single. The song was written by J. Cole, Jay-Z, Alex da Kid, and Skylar Grey, with Kid and Jay-Z handling the production. The song also features Grey lending vocals on the song's chorus. Jay-Z and Kid gifted the song to Diddy for Last Train to Paris. "Coming Home" is a biographically written hip hop and pop ballad inspired by moments in Diddy's life, the loss of his close friend The Notorious B. I. G., and references to classic songs by Dionne Warwick, McFadden & Whitehead, and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. Critics praised the redemptive ballad for the personal themes and lyrics which were a snapshot of Diddy's life. Praise was also given for Grey's soft vocals which complemented the warmth of the song. An accompanying music video, directed by Rich Lee, follows the trio wandering through the desert in search of home only to find burned belongings and the shell of a home. Singled out as one of the album's highlights, "Coming Home" was promoted with live TV performances including at the American Music Awards on November 21, 2010, the WWE Tribute to the Troops concert, and the March 10, 2011 episode of American Idol which marked the first live performance of the song featuring Skylar Grey. The song is also one of the theme songs for WWE WrestleMania 29. more »

Am I really as different as I feel
Maybe you're just too the same
Every smile just gets thrown on the pile
And everyone knows your pain
I'll think of this while you drink to that
Those glory days don't move me the way they move you 

Coming home
Is living on a motorcycle
Jumping off to see my friend
I'm coming home
Feels like I'm leaving home instead 

Do you really think I'm someone new
Someone you don't recognize in any of you
Well I don't resist it the way you do
Because change is the only thing that got me through this
I'll drink to this while you think of that
Those sunny days didn't warm me they burned my skin 

Coming home
Is living on an escalator jumping off to cry out loud
I'm coming home
Feels like I'm leaving home instead 

I remember these streets
I had my both feet on the ground while my head was in all of the clouds
I was something to see
Nothing ever came free
She was mine when love meant nothing to me 

Coming home
Is just another cruel reminder knowing that I'll never find her here
Coming home
Was living on a trampoline
Jumping up to see if there's anyone here that knows what I mean 

I'm coming home
Feels like I'm leaving home instead
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
