How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“My Way Home” is the seventh track on Kanye’s second studio album, Late Registration (2005). It samples “Home is Where the Hatred Is” by Gil Scott-Heron.

This is the only track on the album where Ye does not provide any vocals, besides the skits. Instead, it features a verse from fellow Chicago MC and good friend Common which was recorded for his album Be but was cut since it did not fit the overall ambiance of the album. So in efforts to save a nice track from being scrapped, it was included on here.
