Coming Home, Pt. II Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And the blood will dry, underneath my nails
And the wind will rise up, to fill my sails

[Pre-Chorus]
See you can doubt, and you can hate
But I know, no matter what it takes

[Chorus]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming

[Verse 2]
Still far away, from where I belong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
See you can doubt, and you can hate
But I know, no matter what it takes

[Chorus]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away, all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming
Home

About

This is part two of Diddy’s original and hugely successful hit, “Coming Home,” in which Skylar was featured. Skylar wrote different verses than the original, but kept the chorus the same. The tempo is also slowed down, bringing out her soothing voice over piano-driven instrumentals.

The song was fittingly featured in Budweiser’s “A Hero’s Welcome” 2014 Super Bowl commercial, which was about the return and welcoming home of lieutenant Chuck Nadd. Only a day after the commercial aired, Skylar dropped a music video for the song, which featured actual footage from the commercial.

What did Skylar Grey say about "Coming Home, Pt. II"?

“Coming Home” came after I wrote “Love The Way You Lie” for Eminem & Rihanna. At that time, I was kind of a sought-after writer. And so Puff reached out to my team and said they wanted to work with me. I wrote the hook “Coming Home,” but I didn’t know I would be featured as a vocalist on it until Puff just demanded that I stay on the intro hook, so [my voice was on] the demo. So he wanted to keep it.
