Best thing I wasn’t home

rap, Moody boom-bap with warm piano loop and deep bass, male vocals, Verses stay conversational with close-mic grit; hook gets bigger with stacked vocals, subtle choir pads, and crisp snares, Second half brings in a filtered breakdown then drops back in heavy on the final chorus for a cathartic, head-nod finish, hip-hop

[Chorus]
Best thing I wasn’t home
When that toddler got the keys to my chrome
Little hands, big plans on my Jeep all alone
Would’ve lost my mind, lost my cool, lost control
Best thing I wasn’t home
While he carved his name in my doors and the hood
‘Cause if I saw it go down, I swear it’s understood
I might’ve done something bad
I might’ve done something bad (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Got a text with a picture on Sunday
Thought it was a sunset, new beach view
Zoom in, that’s my front fender
With a hundred tiny lines cut straight through
Dinosaurs, spirals, stick figures
“Look what he did, isn’t it sweet?”
I’m counting every dollar in my head like a trigger
While they’re laughing ‘bout his masterpiece on my sheet of steel

[Bridge]
I can hear my own voice in my head
“Man, breathe, it’s just some paint, not the end”
But if I’d caught him in the act in my driveway
Might’ve said some words I can’t ever take back
So I’ll call it tuition, call it a lesson
Call it a scratch-on-steel kind of blessing
‘Cause rage in the moment can wreck more than a ride
And I’m glad my temper took that trip out of town

[Chorus]
Best thing I wasn’t home
When that toddler got the keys to my chrome
Little hands, big plans on my Jeep all alone
Would’ve lost my mind, lost my cool, lost control
Best thing I wasn’t home
While he carved his name in my doors and the hood
Now it’s story-time scars, yeah, I guess it’s all good
‘Cause if I’d seen it go down, man, that’d be bad
Yeah, the best thing I wasn’t home
Best thing I wasn’t home (hey)
I might’ve done something bad
I might’ve done something bad

[Verse 1] Left the driveway on a Friday Cooler in the back, map on the dash Thought the worst thing I’d be fighting Was the traffic and a little jet lag Phone off, toes in the water Took a couple pictures of the sky turning gold Meanwhile back at home in the driveway My ride turning into modern art, I’m told [Chorus] Best thing I wasn’t home When that toddler got the keys to my chrome Little hands, big plans on my Jeep all alone Would’ve lost my mind, lost my cool, lost control Best thing I wasn’t home While he carved his name in my doors and the hood ‘Cause if I saw it go down, I swear it’s understood I might’ve done something bad I might’ve done something bad (yeah) [Verse 2] Got a text with a picture on Sunday Thought it was a sunset, new beach view Zoom in, that’s my front fender With a hundred tiny lines cut straight through Dinosaurs, spirals, stick figures “Look what he did, isn’t it sweet?” I’m counting every dollar in my head like a trigger While they’re laughing ‘bout his masterpiece on my sheet of steel [Chorus] Best thing I wasn’t home When that toddler got the keys to my chrome Little hands, big plans on my Jeep all alone Would’ve lost my mind, lost my cool, lost control Best thing I wasn’t home While he carved his name in my doors and the hood ‘Cause if I saw it go down, I swear it’s understood I might’ve done something bad I might’ve done something bad (oh) [Bridge] I can hear my own voice in my head “Man, breathe, it’s just some paint, not the end” But if I’d caught him in the act in my driveway Might’ve said some words I can’t ever take back So I’ll call it tuition, call it a lesson Call it a scratch-on-steel kind of blessing ‘Cause rage in the moment can wreck more than a ride And I’m glad my temper took that trip out of town [Chorus] Best thing I wasn’t home When that toddler got the keys to my chrome Little hands, big plans on my Jeep all alone Would’ve lost my mind, lost my cool, lost control Best thing I wasn’t home While he carved his name in my doors and the hood Now it’s story-time scars, yeah, I guess it’s all good ‘Cause if I’d seen it go down, man, that’d be bad Yeah, the best thing I wasn’t home Best thing I wasn’t home (hey) I might’ve done something bad I might’ve done something bad
