No Safe House ft. L Lyrics

It began when I was about five

My mind started catching up to my mama's lies

No surprise though

Her lies consisted of relationship bullshit

The very same doo doo that I do do now (who knew)

Who knew that the very same roof

Always held over my head

The false protection that I left all those years back

Would be the same protection that I would give

To my kids, (shut up) I don't wanna hear that

Nothing but chronic marijuana to get peelt back

These words are like a sauna on the sun

God, I feel that

I feel it burning deeper and God I feel that

Let's reminisce father of Jesus

Comin' with a thesis from when I was a fetus

Nah, I was older

Remember screaming for you

To make this all over, though

Like the shit from my mom

All the shit she used to give me and Lu

Flashback locked in a bathroom

Or in a back room

What was it that i asked you

Save us from her bad mood

Save us from her belt all her mean words

And the welts every emotional tattoo

Is there a safe home

A safe house I can come to

A safe place I can run to

Thought home was supposed to

Be full of love and hugs

But it's nothing of the such, so

Is there a safe home

A safe house we can come to

A safe place we can run to

Thought home was supposed to

Be full of love and hugs

But it's nothing of the such, so

Have you ever tried running in a dream

But your body stays frozen

Your mind struggles to manipulate the scene

But your efforts remained hopeless

Those are precisely the sentiments

I hold regarding my role in the abuse

Disregard the parade of gentlemen

It's the torrid mental minds fucks that hold true

The paradox is

She gave birth to six kids with exceptional abilities

But ended up with six out of six paying visits

To mental and correctional facilities

These words are not spoken with injurious intent

Nor are they meant as a cheap jab or stick

They are spoken with a naive hope for miraculous-ness

That I may juke past the past and for once finally live

To awaken every dawn with the aches of age in my bones

And the sensation of utter happiness

I know that I must fight within my dome for a home

That isn't safe until I ask, myself this

Is there a safe home

A safe house I can come to

A safe place I can run to

Thought home was supposed to

Be full of love and hugs

But it's nothing of the such, so

Is there a safe home

A safe house we can come to

A safe place we can run to

Thought home was supposed to

Be full of love and hugs

But it's nothing of the such, so

Don't know where just to start, so there's no way to finish

So I'm just gonna write with my heart from the beginning

Memories I fought ripped up and tore apart

Flashbacks of abuse locked up inside my vault

Closed eyes, rewind, allow one's mine to explode with thought

A safe house a seldom thought

A safe house when home alone

Fast pitch in the hallway

In a zone of our own till Mama's home

Then it's back to harsh reality tricks and picks

The amount of candy chosen equals the amount of hits

Now picture two little kids at ends wit

Crying and trying to figure out just what they did

Or do to deserve this Constantly feeling worthless

Emotions expressed and explained through sacred verses

The cycle of destruction shall no longer proceed

The generation of abuse shall stop and end with my seed

A safe house I pray to provide for her, oh yes, oh yes indeed

Is there a safe home

A safe house I can come to

A safe place I can run to

Thought home was supposed to

Be full of love and hugs

But it's nothing of the such, so

Is there a safe home

A safe house we can come to

A safe place we can run to

Thought home was supposed to

Be full of love and hugs

But it's nothing of the such, so
