[Verse 1]
Yeah, I showed up with my guard up
Two bags, old scars, tryna act tough
Heard stories, different houses, different rules
New ring on my dad, I’m feeling like a fool
Then the door cracked, you were right there
Flower on your shirt, paint in your hair
You said, “Come in, kid, this is your place”
No fake smile, just a real face
[Chorus]
Kim, you ain’t just my stepmom, you my day-one
You turned all my broken pieces into someone
Held me like I’d always been your own blood
You the one I look up to, you the one I trust
So thank you, Kim, for the love you gave
You gave me more than a last name
Kim, you ain’t just my stepmom, you my day-one
You my home, you my home, yeah, you my home
[Verse 2]
You learned my games, you learned my songs
Sat front row when the notes went wrong
Signed every paper, showed up on time
Yelled my name ’til you lost your mind (hey!)
You didn’t try to play my real mom’s part
You just showed up, heart to heart
“Call me Kim till you’re ready for more”
Now I’m ready, I’m calling you much more
[Chorus]
Kim, you ain’t just my stepmom, you my day-one
You turned all my broken pieces into someone
Held me like I’d always been your own blood
You the one I look up to, you the one I trust
So thank you, Kim, for the love you gave
You gave me more than a last name
Kim, you ain’t just my stepmom, you my day-one
You my home, you my home, yeah, you my home
[Bridge]
Who stayed when I slammed doors? You
Who prayed when I lost course? You
When I say “Mom” in my head now, that’s you
That’s you, that’s you (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Kim, you ain’t just my stepmom, you my day-one
You turned all my broken pieces into someone
Held me like I’d always been your own blood
You the one I look up to, you the one I trust
So thank you, Kim, for the love you gave
You gave me more than a last name
Kim, you ain’t just my stepmom, you my day-one
You my home, you my home, yeah, you my home
