[Intro]
I got on my safety pin!
There's an elephant in the room
May God get the glory
[Verse 1]
This is where my family communes
Where I've seen so much have happened here since I came out the womb
From happy years to crying tears
To arguments with shining June
I'm talking 'bout the very place where I first learned to hold my spoon
Hoped my tunes
And hoped someday that my career would blow up soon
The place we ate my birthday cake on every 20th of June
We blew up balloons, ate hot dogs and chips
And danced to 90s tunes
As the music from the ca**ette play a jam throughout the room
Before I bloomed and learned that life was about more than I a**umed
I'm surprised to think of how much time of mine it has consumed
I'd be lying if I sit here today and say I'm not immune
Man some nights we sit here so long that sunlight replace the moon
It's a place where I sit down sometimes at night and write my songs
A place the dog would sneak beneath and poop
And boy that smell was strong
Where I read songs when I felt I was just too weak to carry on
A place I always laid my head to pray when things was going wrong
It's made our home
We ate on it with every plate we ever owned
The place where Emmett used to always smoke his weed up and get stoned
The same place that I used to when
I used to smoke and drink Patron
Not weed, but Newport Longs
And kick it with my family all night long
The place I gambled up my money until all my bread was gone
Where I read my poems
And learned 'bout all that 2+2 stuff that I homed
A place where grandma always made you hush if food was on your tongue
A place that I would go sit at late night and sweet talk on the phone
Where the roaches crawled at night
In hopes to find at least a chicken bone
A place my sister used to braid my hair with grease and keep it combed
But now I'm grown
And left with nothing but sweet memories in my dome
About this home and where I sat, and how our seats were made of foam
It wasn't stable but grateful cause we able
Many years at a kitchen table
