Title: "No Address"

(Intro)

Yeah…

They say home is where the heart is

But what if you never had one?

(Verse 1)

I grew up with a backpack, life in a trash bag

Social workers talking like my story just a hashtag

New house, new rules, new bed, same pain

Every time I unpack I’m packing again

Teachers asking questions like I’m supposed to explain

Why I look out the window every time it starts to rain

Why I flinch when the yelling start getting too loud

Why I keep my head down when I’m walking through a crowd

They don’t see the nights when the streets were my roof

Cold wind in my lungs just trying to breathe truth

Friends come and go like the bus at the stop

Just when you trust somebody… they gone, full stop

(Hook)

I ain’t got no address, nowhere to belong

Just a million little scars turning pain into songs

Been moved too many times, heart heavy like stone

Whole world full of people but I’m still alone

I learned how to fight, learned how to survive

When nobody’s there you keep yourself alive

They say “it’ll get better,” yeah I hope they’re right

But right now I’m just walking through the night

(Verse 2)

New city, new school, same lonely seat

Same whispers when they notice holes in my sneaks

Same question, “why you always keep to yourself?”

Cause everybody I love end up somewhere else

Mama tried her best but the world was rough

Sometimes love alone just ain’t enough

I seen grown men cry, seen angels fall

Seen kids my age learn not to trust at all

I remember nights when my stomach felt hollow

Dreaming ‘bout a life where tomorrow ain’t borrowed

Where the door don’t close and the lights stay on

And you don’t gotta wonder where you’re waking at dawn

(Hook)

I ain’t got no address, nowhere to belong

Just a million little scars turning pain into songs

Been moved too many times, heart heavy like stone

Whole world full of people but I’m still alone

I learned how to fight, learned how to survive

When nobody’s there you keep yourself alive

They say “it’ll get better,” yeah I hope they’re right

But right now I’m just walking through the night

(Bridge)

But maybe one day I’ll build something real

Four walls, one place where my heart can heal

No boxes packed up, no knocking at the door

No stranger telling me I can’t stay anymore

(Final Verse)

Till then I’m writing every tear in a rhyme

Turning broken little moments into lines

Cause pain makes stories the world can’t erase

And every lost kid deserves their own place

(Outro)

Yeah…

One day I’ll have a home

But until then…

This mic is the closest thing I got.
