(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la

They love me when I'm home but I'm never there
We like it here but it's better there
We like it here but it's better there
Yeah, we like it here but it's better there
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la

Yeah, we like it here but it's better there
Yeah, we like it here but it's better there
(Better there, never there)
(Never there, better there)

Most the ends behind the steel gates
Some man experiencing some real pain
See some old friends and wonder if we're still mates
Couple brothers movin' shaky since the deal came
'Long as the fuckin' bills paid
Tried not to, but I still changed
Most the girls I met are solid with some good hearts
But the ones who done me wrong, I hope it still aches, yeah
You could bang me up for life, I'd be handlin' it right
Boy, I got Manny in my core (core), yeah
All the cameras and the lights, main attraction for the night
If I get anti they get bored (bored), yeah
What's the damage on the price?
By now, there ain't much we can't actually afford ('ford), yeah
But what's cash without a life?
Three months I ain't even seen my family, I'm on tour (tour)
Went from trappin' on a bike to a lavish livin' life
Bro's standin' up in court (court), yeah
Pack your bag, we got a flight
Tell mum and dad I love 'em, I'll be back again for sure (sure)
Pack your bag, we got a ride
Ain't my brother, you can't come if you won't, for me and more
You get a fraction of my life, but the rest, you don't know nothin'
So don't act like you're on course

They love me when I'm home but I'm never there
We like it here but it's better there
We like it here but it's better there
Yeah, we like it here but it's better there
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la

Say a prayer before I hit the stage
Tell God to please forgive me if I misbehave
I ain't perfect but I'm learnin', all this shit's a game
I know people 'round me lurkin', tryna build a name
Fuck 'em all, I hope they're livin' straight
Still wonder how they're copin' since I been away
In the bits, they put a hole in you for little change
At this point stayin' local's just a big mistake
But how the fuck I'm supposed to leave?
When my brothers are in need, I still got cousins in the streets, yeah
Went from Nuthurst to the quays
Came runnin' straight back, shit weren't as comfy as it seems, yeah
All this money I don't need
But ain't made enough to quit, looks like I'm doublin' the fees, yeah
Take me home, I just want peace
Losin' focus, this ain't me, I ain't been sober for a week
Only happy when I'm close to home
Need no one but my family if they went, I couldn't hold my own
Mum and dad had twins, one of them with extra chromosomes
So I'ma stay by 'em 'til somebody turns me Holy Ghost

They love me when I'm home but I'm never there
We like it here but it's better there
We like it here but it's better there
Yeah, we like it here but it's better there
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la

They love me when I'm home but I'm never there
We like it here but it's better there
We like it here but it's better there
Yeah, we like it here but it's better there
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la
Oh-ooh-whoa
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, la, la, la, la
Oh-oh
