Home is my safe place my happy place my corner on the world where I feel whole
I remember when I didn’t have a home
I will not let anyone destroy my peace
Stay away beasts I’m done with the streets
Come inside lock the door me and my baby and these wood floors
My home now vs as a kid
Is a whole different way I live
Old cigarettes and sardines
Crack and weed is smells I used to see
I basically lived like a animal
It was a jungle and I survived
I ran away at age of 9
Came back to fight
Everyday stressful life no sunshine no light
Just my room with posters of my favorite rappers kept me alive
Blasting my music to block out the sounds
I left home at 18
Built my life piece by piece
All the way to age 33
Had a baby and got my own home for her
It’s squeaky clean and smells like Free
I love our home and I will never let my daughter feel like I did
Our home is where the heart is
But my daughter is what makes it beat
Fresh lemon Lysol and a candle lit
Ac on watching Netflix
Just cooked my favorite meal
As I look around it is surreal
I MADE IT and I made a home
Came from nothing and all alone
Now I start a empire one day my home will be a mansion by the beach but for now this is my paradise my PEACE
sign the lease get the keys make your world fabulous because outside is becoming obsolete
