[INTRO] Yeah… I been living through a climate, not a season Whole house felt different, I could feel it breathing (uh… yeah) Funny how you know it’s time to leave When the place that held you ain’t got room for who you’re ’bout to be [HOOK] This ain’t home, it’s a memory Walls got too much history Survived what was killing me Now I need somewhere I can breathe New keys, new door, new energy Fuck what they think I’m supposed to be Went through hell and it finished me— then built ‘notha’motha’fucka outta me (yeah) I need room to breathe breathe— breathe— Whole life tried burying me Now watch what the fuck I’m finna be [VERSE 1] I wasn’t sleeping, I was shutting down Same four walls, same fucked-up town Days moved fast, nights dragged slow Lost track of time, lost track of hope Bills on the table, stress in my chest Everybody asking, “You good?” [Pause] “I’m blessed” (hell nah) Got real good at saying “fine” While my whole damn life was falling behind House got memories smeared on the paint Every little corner got something I ain’t Wanna think about, wanna talk about Every door I opened, had a ghost walk out So I moved the couch, cleaned the floor Thought maybe I could make it feel like before But you can’t rearrange what broke you inside Sometimes you gotta leave just to stay alive (yeah…) [HOOK] This ain’t home, it’s a memory Walls got too much history Survived what was killing me Now I need somewhere I can breathe New keys, new door, new energy Fuck what they think I’m supposed to be Went through hell and it finished me— then built ‘notha’motha’fucka outta me [VERSE 2] Felt guilt for wanting more Like I owed that pain something at the door Like leaving meant everything meant nothing I ain’t asking for a mansion I just want peace without a fucking transaction A boo where I don’t gotta brace for an impact A bed where I sleep and don’t wake up attacked Money look funny, Numbers look low But somehow I still feel something coming down the road Call it faith, call it luck, call it timing [Breakdown] Somethin’ in me keeps saying, “Keep climbing” Survived shit I can’t even explain Got scars in places nobody can name Every damn loss put a brick on my spine Now I’m standing here like, “Bitch, I’m still mine.” That’s the part they don’t understand You can lose your whole world and rebuild with your own two hands Ain’t waitin’ for somebody to rescue me New keys, new door, new energy Fuck what they think I’m supposed to be Went through hell and it finished me— then built ‘notha’motha’fucka outta me Whole life tried burying me Now watch what the fuck I’m finna be [Rap] New keys. New door. New energy. Funny how the demons always know where the entrance be. Sleep don’t come easy for the wicked, iight? [pause] …shit. You invited me. Demons keep better company, when you got twenty mothafuckas’ knives in ya back. Funny how they smile, when they know exactly where to stab. Put a mothafucka under enough pressure, you gon’ see just who they ’bout to be. Pressure make a diamond in the rough? Pressure feels a whole lot like a loaded gun. [Brrrt] [Brrrt] Done watched a whole room change when the lights got low. Watched “good” people turnt ghost. Lit the sage. Smoked the host. Trynna force what they know, Four walls don’t make a home. Shit, got a lease, Burnin’ out the memory. Nah. New keys. New door. New energy. Time to clear the mothafuckin’ house before the rats start thinkin’ they family. I don’t act on cue, paintin’ old walls in a blood-red hue. I just swept what’s dead out the corners where it grew. Ain’t here to kill nobody— shit, I’m just cleanin’ house. If it don’t belong in my new life, I’ma cut’em with their knife. I need somewhere to finally be. [FINAL HOOK] New keys… new door (new life) New me… new war This ain’t home… it’s a memory (memory) Walls got too much… history (too much) I survived what was killing me Now I need somewhere I can breathe I went through hell and it finished me— then built ‘notha’motha’fucka …outta me (yeah…) I need room to breathe I NEED ROOM TO BREATHE Whole life tried burying me NOW WATCH WHAT THE FUCK I’M FINNA BE. [OUTRO] Just finally free. Free— Free— New keys. New door. New energy. Just finally free. Free— Free— New house. New chapter. Same motha’fucka. Just finally free.
