Patch that Leak

# **NO LEAKS, NO LEASE** **[Intro — distorted / spoken]** Rain on the roof, hear it tap-tap-tap Found another leak, gotta patch that crack She got opinions, yeah, imagine that This my Winnebago— I ain't askin' where to put the mat *Yeah...* Turn that bass up. **[Verse 1]** Water on the ceiling, bucket on the floor Climbed up on the roof, found three leaks more Scrape that old seal, lay a fresh bead down Little bit of work, I'ma turn this thing around New lights glowin', warm instead of white New little fixtures make it feel right Fix that cabinet, tighten that door Every little upgrade makes me want one more She says, “Why'd you do it like that?” “Why'd you put the TV there?” “Why you changin' everything?” Like she still got a chair I got Dicor on my fingers Got a drill beside my bed Got a list of things I'm fixin' And her voice stuck in my head— **[Pre-Chorus]** But this ain't your call This ain't your key This ain't your little renovation committee You can hate that wall You can hate that seat But I'm makin' this old Winnebago home to me **[Chorus]** **PATCH THAT LEAK — MAKE IT HOME** Bass hit hard while I'm workin' alone **FIX THAT LIGHT — SEAL THAT ROOF** Every damn upgrade's living proof You can tell me what you'd change You can tell me what you'd do But you don't live here anymore So I ain't buildin' it for you **No leaks—no stress** **No keys—no say** I'm makin' this old Winnebago Feel more like home every day **[Phonk Break]** *Drip... drip... drip...* Nah. *Seal it.* **BOOM.** New floor New light Roof sealed Sleep tight Your rules? Not here Your voice? Disappear **[Verse 2]** Put a better mattress where the old one laid Hung a little shelf that I custom-made USB plugs and a place for my gear Funny how it feels a little better in here Rain comes down, but it stays outside That's a small damn win and I take that pride Used to hear a drip every time clouds rolled Now I'm sittin' dry while the night's ice cold And she still wants a say in the color I pick Where I mount this, why I bought that shit Every conversation turns into a vote Like she's on the title of this motorhome Nah— I learned something crawlin' underneath With a wrench in my hand and some grease on my sleeve You can patch an old seam, you can rebuild a wall But some things work better when you don't fix 'em at all **[Chorus]** **PATCH THAT LEAK — MAKE IT HOME** Bass hit hard while I'm workin' alone **FIX THAT LIGHT — SEAL THAT ROOF** Every damn upgrade's living proof You can tell me what you'd change You can tell me what you'd do But you don't live here anymore So I ain't buildin' it for you **No leaks—no stress** **No keys—no say** I'm makin' this old Winnebago Feel more like home every day **[Bridge — slowed / dark]** Funny... The roof leaked less Once I found where the water got in Life got quieter Once I figured that out, too Some cracks need sealant Some doors need locks Some things need patience Some things need to stop I'm not buildin' a palace I'm not chasin' some dream Just a warm little light And a roof that don't leak A place for my coffee A place for my clothes A place where I decide How everything goes **[Final Drop]** **MY ROOF** **MY KEYS** **MY LIGHTS** **MY SEAT** **MY TOOLS** **MY RULES** **MY HOME** **MY PEACE** Let the rain come down Let the whole sky pour I patched every damn leak And I locked that door You can call it old You can call it small But I built something mine And that's worth it all **[Outro — tape slowed]** Drip... drip... Wait. Ain't no drip. *Heh.* Finally.
