First Home

作词 : Gordon Tsai

I feel like it was yesterday on a Saturday

Grandma cooking up a storm all for this holiday

Dumplings on the steamer, the cleaver is on the side

The sounds on the tv see the excitement in my eyes

Got Nintendo games, see the window frames

When I take a look outside I see reflections of my innocence

I'm talking bout the house that I grew up in all my life

Right next to beacon avenue located on the side

We would ride, take our bikes around and buy

A bunch of magic cards and bring em home and crack em open

We dueling all on the floor when the borders were kinda white

After that we wrestling the daytime would turn to night

It was tight but I really loved the couch

The cushions would come out and we would lay it on the ground

While we watching all our shows and our favorites were all cartoons

I'm thinking bout the house that I grew up in my youth

That was the start to my route

I'm talk-ing bout my first house

I wish that I could go now

I know it's been a long while

Look at the paths that we crossed

Not all who wander are lost

I loved my beautiful start

I still feel it in my heart

Jr high was really really wack that's enough of that

I guess we're growing into who we're really trying to be

I had the bangs they hanging on the sides up on my face

I put a bunch of posters in my room up in this place

That's my comfort zone play that crazy bone

This is way before dat jazzhop integrated through the saxophone

My home was my safe haven where painting was my escape

I would sit for days while my writing would take away

Any pain I felt got that wrestling belt

Hanging on the side of my closet it made me want to push myself

And reach another level and make it up out the dirt

We got a hundred years as a max and we out this earth

I want to touch a life, let em know it'll be alright

As long as you stay focused it don't matter what your start is like

You see me reminiscing on the room where I grew up

The four walls that surrounded me giving me just enough

That was the start to my route

I'm talk-ing bout my first house

I wish that I could go now

I know it's been a long while

Look at the paths that we crossed

Not all who wander are lost

I loved my beautiful start

I still feel it in my heart

Now I'm looking back as a grown folk, In my own home

Been around the map and traveled down around the coastal's

I been here reminiscing and missing my younger days

The city that i knew is a new one and not the same

Guess it's natural that's how life evolves

Every minute we are changing it's impossible to stay on pause

And still we holding onto all the items that we know

A graduation cap and my degree rolled like a scroll

I remember that, and my favorite class

Double A-S-206, where Connie So would come and lay the facts

And now I'm sitting here in the room and I'm flashing back

The pictures on my wall while I'm playing my favorite tracks

Felt like yesterday, and the sun is out

The way the windows illuminate the room it makes me want to think aloud

I'm talking bout my youth and the house that i grew up in

Even though its over i'll remember til the end

That was the start to my route

I'm talk-ing bout my first house

I wish that i could go now

I know it's been a long while

Look at the paths that we crossed

Not all who wander are lost

I loved my beautiful start

I still feel it in my heart
