This House

Oh you can see me cry, see my dreams oh God

From where you are standing, oh you are Lord

It's so quiet here and I feel so close

This house no longer feels like home

Eh, yeah, yeah, eh, yeah, yeah

Eh, yeah, yeah, eh, yeah, yeah

My daddy left a void in the heart of a boy

When I realized he was gone, he stole away my joy

Mama had to make a suishi, she couldn't take depression

So she packed up and left us, now I'm dealing with depression

Years go by, mama's finally home, now my tears all dry

Mama where were you all along

I'm just a young boy feeling grown man's emotions

With this hatred in my heart but the pains leaving broken

I used to cry till i was choking

Now I'm smoking all these cigarettes

Sipping on these whiskey trying to fill up this emptiness

Out here rebellious, running with some hailers

Yeah we're here raising hell for the world what we are yelling

Selling what we had it hard, heading on the street

This street life crazy and I'm crazy out of reach

Gotta reach deep down just to find a little peace

So I climb up in the sheets

And just pray for some sleep, amen

Oh you can see me cry, see my dreams oh God

From where you are standing, oh you are Lord

It's so quiet here and I feel so close

This house no longer feels like home

Eh, yeah, yeah, eh, yeah, yeah

Eh, yeah, yeah, eh, yeah, yeah

Now police at the door and I'm home with my kids

I'm in bed with my lady, baby boy in the crib

Third time locked up for the same damn offence

But I laid in my probation now ain't life a bitch

When I'm trying to get it right again, caught up once again

Trying to live the fast life will get your life in the pen

Talk a life full of sin and time to remunerate

On all the things you could have been

And all the things you should have been

I had dreams of glory and telling my story

Watch it burn through the ground, i had my feet before me

Cold rain pouring, thunderstorm morning

Kiss my kids goodnight, I'll be gone by the morning

I hope I come home a better man than I was

Take this evil out of my heart and only fill it up with love

I hope I touch a lot of people when they feel like giving up

All the pieces that are broken

Let me help you pick them up, come on

Oh you can see me cry, see my dreams oh God

From where you are standing, oh you are Lord

It's so quiet here and I feel so close

This house no longer feels like home

Eh, yeah, yeah, eh, yeah, yeah

Eh, yeah, yeah, eh, yeah, yeah
