Told Me to Go Home

When I turned around, they shot me down, And they told me to go home. Oh how I tried to swallow my pride, When they told me to go home. Imma keep my hair up high, When the mister comes to call. But when I turned around, He shot me down, And he told me to go home. Rolled up late this morning, And the man shouts to me. He said What d'ya think you're doing? I said Sorry Mr G, Well I'll admit, my heart ain't in it, Like it used to be. But these rules and regulations, No they don't mean jack to me. When I turned around, they shot me down, And they told me to go home. Oh how I tried to swallow my pride, When they told me to go home. Imma keep my hair up high, When the mister comes to call. But when I turned around, He shot me down, And he told me to go home. Playground problems got me vexed, Freedom's what I need. These do's and dont's bring out, The disobedience in me. Doubts caress my brain, As I make my way home. Oh you know this girl is stubborn, I can make it on my own. But when I turned around, they shot me down, And they told me to go home. Oh how I tried to swallow my pride, When they told me to go home. Imma keep my hair up high, When the mister comes to call. But when I turned around, He shot me down, And he told me to go home. I won't return, I don't need ya. I'll be just fine, Come next July. I don't wanna be crude, I don't like the food, So they told me to go home. Can't mess around today, They want it their way, And told me to go home. I wanna ride the groove, Show me friends some moves, But when I turned around, They shot me down, They shot me down, And they told me to go home. No they didn't like the way I talk, And they told me to go home. Oh they reckon that my skirts too short, And they told me to go home. Imma keep my hair up high, When the mister comes to call. But when I turned around, He shot me down, And he told me to go home.
