House of us

[Verse 1]
Mama in the kitchen
laugh lines, tired eyes
Counting every coupon
turning scraps to a feast
Cousin on the sofa
share one blanket, two dreams
Hand-me-down sneakers
but they still made me gleam (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is the house of us
Brick by brick from trust
Blood or not, it’s love
That holds this roof above
When the rain comes down, we rise
Hand in hand, we improvise
Home is more than walls and dust
It’s us, it’s us (house of us)
[Verse 2]
Brothers in an argument
slam doors, raised tone
Ten minutes later we laugh
over cracked phones
Grandma at the table
telling stories on repeat
I roll my eyes, still I smile
’cause that rhythm feels like peace (uh)
[Chorus]
This is the house of us
Brick by brick from trust
Blood or not, it’s love
That holds this roof above
When the rain comes down, we rise
Hand in hand, we improvise
Home is more than walls and dust
It’s us, it’s us (house of us)
[Bridge]
Family isn’t perfect
it’s late calls, small fights
It’s “you okay?” text messages
at 3 a.m. nights
[Chorus]
This is the house of us
Brick by brick from trust
Blood or not, it’s love
That holds this roof above
When the rain comes down, we rise
Hand in hand, we improvise
Home is more than walls and dust
It’s us, it’s us (house of us)
