There's no place like home There's no place like home There's no place like home Let's go Is there a heart in the house tonight Stand up I got a question Is there a heart in the house tonight [Verse 1] Good morning, so glad I got a home to record in These houses people grew up in disrupted, they can't afford it Had hope to stay in the family for the son or for the daughter They making you fork it over or forcing a foreclosure When I'm touring I got a bunk but it's more like a coffin So the comfort of a home is important Trust, a lot more would invest in a mortgage If they could put it on rims, drive to the club and floss it This is the American dream House, wife, kids, and a dog, fight for 'em in the bitter divorce Nobody win in this situation, everything considered a loss I grab a lemonade and sit on the porch [Hook x2] I write rhymes to the sounds of the birds chirping Telling us stories in the first person There's no place like home There's no place like home [Verse 2] This is dedicated to places I'm staying at My crib, my lab, my pad, or wherever I lay my hat To some, it's a box or tunnel, or underpass It could be a beach for as long as the summer lasts Home is what you make it, the place where you find your start Where you go when the block is hot, it's inside of your mind and heart The heart is a house to love and so we build it up It used to feel kinda empty until we filled it up This here the living room, it's where we chill it's the biggest room My cousins on the couch, let me sit wit' you Your kids playing in the yard, they as big as you Where your twin, of course catch him in the kitchen with the food Feeling good, this is so essential Watching the game with my pops, he taught me the fundamentals So I'm swinging for the fences, not just tryna get on base My home runs bring me back to this home plates [Hook x2]
