[Intro]
Empty walls
Dust all over
Air so stale
Still I saw a owner
Floor all cracked
Ceiling all open
Heart on E

Cabinet door barely hangin’ on a screw
I’m talkin’ to the Lord while I’m scrubbin’ on the mildew
I’m seein’ her smile when the whole thing brand new
Lil ones runnin’ through the yard when the rent due never
Turnin’ this pain to a blueprint, measure
Every lil nail one step to treasure
Hunger in my soul, but my touch get gentle
Got dirt on my hands, got gold on my mental (yeah)
[Chorus]
This a home that ain’t home yet
Dirty when I came, but I won’t quit
Put the work in now, that’s a promise, not a threat
I don’t want my wife to struggle with the babies, nah
New keys, new dreams in the heat, we up
Turn this mess to a blessing, gotta clean it up
This a
