Feels Like Home

We all need to be somewhere that we feel welcome

A place to find our identity

A place that we can call home

Yeah

We all needs a place that we belong

Somewhere that feels safe, that we call home

A place to feel joy, a place to feel pain (What else?)

This world's crazy, man, we need a place to feel sane (That's real)

You know a place that finds you when you're not lookin' (Not lookin')

Feels like Sunday dinner, Grandma's cookin'

It's just priceless, it all can seem Heaven-sent

'Cause when we go and come back, it's like we never left (Yeah)

Remind me of my neighborhood 2010 prior

Before the gentrifiers raised the rent prices

Back when dudes said, "Yurp", and shorties said, "Holla" (Holla)

Before a bacon, egg and cheese cost ten dollars (Damn)

No Zoom or FaceTime, we was meeting up

I would hit the block and Prop would pass me the blunt

See, I ain't sayin' or advocating you need a drug

I'm just painting a picture so you can see above

We all long to be fully known

Close to God, touching Heaven and it feels like home

I said it feels like home

Yeah, uh

See, we were never meant to be alone

I'm with my brothers and my sisters and it feels like home

I said it feels like home

I'm talkin' memories with your mom and dad (Yeah)

Those moments you cherish like ancient artifacts (Uh-huh)

Your best friends is present, you wish it all would last (Yeah)

Bussin' joke after joke, everybody laughing

It put us back up in our right mind (Uh-huh)

And yo It feels like forever, but the time flies (Flies)

Shots fire and cop sirens around the way

But when I got close to home, that's when I felt safe (Safe)

A place to melt away all the guilt and shame

Help me change all my heavy burdens to a welter weight (It's light)

A place to rise above all the hellish flames

And though I felt the pain, I'm with others that felt the same

See, home is where the heart is, home is where my God is (What else?)

Home is where we goin', regardless of where we started (Don't matter)

And home is where the children have they mothers and they fathers

And if that ain't possible, then home is where you get adopted (Woo)

See, we all need somewhere to be established

Where our voice is getting valued and we know our life matters (Yeah)

Where we can come to heal from everything that's been traumatic (Uh-huh)

I'm praying to Jesus to receive it if you've never had it (Praying)

Kingdom of the most high, there's a place for you (Yup)

You coming late, well, it's okay, I saved space for you (Space)

You moving slow, well, Christ blood set the pace for you (Amen)

And if you don't know how to pray, I'll say grace for you (Let's pray)

We all long to be fully known

Close to God, touching Heaven and it feels like home

I said it feels like home

See, we were never meant to be alone

I'm with my brothers and my sisters and it feels like home

I said it feels like home

Yeah

Sacrifice my life like it's not my own

I hope you all can understand that it feels like home

I said it feels like home

Uh, yeah

Gave me a heart of flesh for a heart of stone

Becoming more of who I am, and it feels like home

I said it feels like home

Uh, yeah
