[Intro: Kina Grannis] I wanna go where the lights are low and the dreamers are chasing I wanna live like we don't know much but we know we're gonna make it And I don't wanna spend another night alone I wanna go cause if we don't leave now, then we're never gonna make it home
[Hook: Kina Grannis] Oh-oh oh-oh waiting 'til I make it home Oh-oh oh-oh waiting 'til I make it home
[Verse 2: Hoodie Allen] I ain't a movie star, I ain't a ball player But if you ask me what I do, I do it all player I got these girls going wild like I'm John Mayer And I don't need a damn guitar Watch me I'm going far Living out all my dreams I used to live in my car Now it's a limousine I put it in the garage Right next to my degrees Hundred dollars for a hat Trying to keep it supreme I bet you're trying to fit in with your best friends Well your best friends Made some bad investments I wish I could but I don' believe you for a second You said you living good well call me when the mets win The mets win it in the pennant Doing it independent They told me I hit a wall They wondering where I'm headed Busy buying the bar and they busy trying to rent it It happens when you sit around and wait cause you forget it And I be playing poker with a blind man, throwing all my chips in Working till I'm breaking every record like I'm Ripken Bang
[Hook: Kina Grannis] Oh-oh oh-oh waiting 'til I make it home Oh-oh oh-oh waiting 'til I make it home Oh-oh oh-oh waiting 'til I make it home Oh-oh oh-oh waiting 'til I make it home

Fuse TV brought rapper Hoodie Allen together with singer/songwriter Kina Grannis to write this moody, piano-driven track within 24 hours. It had its debut in front of a live audience while the finished product lends both artists vocals to the catchy, radio-ready chorus. Over Something Silent’s production, DJ Fresh Direct‘s sampled rhythms, and driven by Kina’s acoustic-guitar chords, Hoodie charts his growth from underdog to indie phenom with Make It Home.
