LYRICS:
Yeah I live at my parents' place
I know the stigma let me set the record straight
I am not a bum and I am not a loser
I work with children help mold their future
not unemployed just underemployed
thank God Mom and Dad got love for their boy
cuz times is tough and the rent's expensive
trying to save up that's depth perception
all in all man it's not a bad deal
roof over my head and there's always a hot meal
but I can't get sedentary
after all this is just temporary
it can be hard to not have a place
love my fam but I like to have my space
act my age but when Mom and Dad's awake
it makes it hard when I wanna (well you know)

Yeah I live with my parents y'all
so what? I'm not embarrassed at all
(you live in the basement of your Mom's crib, do you not?)
it's cool cuz one day soon I'll have my own spot
Yeah I live with my parents y'all
so what? I'm not embarrassed at all
(you live in the basement of your Mom's crib, do you not?)
it's cool cuz one day soon I'll have my own spot

Yeah I used to have a place of my own
a little apartment that I called home
back when I was making bucks with enough to stunt
then recession struck became a budget cut
told folks coming home for a few months
til I find a new job but soon enough
summer became fall
fall became winter
winter became spring
spring became summer
now I'm in trouble it's been a year
fuck is going on? why am I still here?
3 months turned into 3 years
it's harder than I thought to up and leave here
but I don't worry bout the jokes and laughter
what can I do? I'm just a broke ass rapper
but don't that matter my glory will come
my story's not done still haven't wrote that chapter

Yeah I live with my parents y'all
so what? I'm not embarrassed at all
(you live in the basement of your Mom's crib, do you not?)
it's cool cuz one day soon I'll have my own spot
Yeah I live with my parents y'all
so what? I'm not embarrassed at all
(you live in the basement of your Mom's crib, do you not?)
it's cool cuz one day soon I'll have my own spot

doesn't take much to make me happy
my folks they're good to me
never never will I feel discouraged
cuz their love's no mystery
demonstrating love and affection
they give so openly yeah
I hope that one day I can repay all their kindness
when I'm on my own and free

Yeah I live with my parents y'all
so what? I'm not embarrassed at all
(you live in the basement of your Mom's crib, do you not?)
it's cool cuz one day soon I'll have my own spot
Yeah I live with my parents y'all
so what? I'm not embarrassed at all
(you live in the basement of your Mom's crib, do you not?)
it's cool cuz one day soon I'll have my own spot
