[intro: vic vega/lennox's monologue]
I remember what it was like living in emergency housing. after i got scammed online for an apartment which did not exist. i fell into a dark place. it was so traumatizing living here. so i had to survive on my
[verse 1: vic vega]
Trapped inside a four cornered room staring at the ceiling
Struggling to leave has got to be the worst feeling
Sitting in my bed, masturbating, dating all alone
Watching porno's on my smartphone, hearing these bitches moan
Hearing two indian couples having sex
Only reason i get here is cause you keep breaking the bed
Two of them decide to do the dirty every night
At the same exact time, you always wanna go and start a fight
Did you use a condom?then choose to play it safe
You'll be the next toxic couple to get aids
I found out that he was fucking with a hooker
So he started punching her and plus there were some onlookers
But the two think that they were just playin'
Still, i was turned on but all the noises you were making
I have a dirt in mind sometimes i wish to find a way but i'm just a virgin stuck inside a violent game
[chorus: vic vega]
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
I feel trapped and alone
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
I feel trapped and alone
[verse 2: vic vega]
The drugs and alcohol has destroyed the māori system
Living in this place feels like i'm trapped in prison
I still remember when a white boy was drunk
Saw him getting knocked out, his front teeth was fuckes up
God damn, what a price to pay
Because one month later, the same man was out his way
Ken was a cleaner, always fuckin' up the money
But when he gets angry, i used to think that shit was funny
He was a bald head with tattoos on his arm
Wore glasses, extroverted, but he was never calm
Appeared to be survival to all the other tenants
He was like 52 but still that old man was a menace
I was the only kid he did put his hands against
The property manager was cool, i learned to pay the rent
Ken and mariah were together at the time
When ken was getting drunk he was still beating up his wife
[chorus: vic vega]
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
I feel trapped and alone
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
I feel trapped and alone
I feel trapped and alone
I feel trapped and alone
I feel trapped and alone
[verse 3: vic vega]
I said to kay that i really want to leave this place
Didn't like these violent times so i had to play safe my conscience keeps screaming i was searching for help
Months, slated finding out ken and mariah both got kicked out
It's the beginning of 2024
Got myself a new job full time i wasn't living poor cause i was still living back at the lodge
Praying for these better days and started praying to the god
Begging for some freedom new tenants were taking over
Deep down i knew my success was getting closer
That was the year i had to get my shit together slowly building up these moments started getting better
I got a new license and a place in the city
So i packed my bags and left out of this place cause it was gritty
When i left the place and felt so anti climatic
And so i continued developing emotional damage
The war is never over but a new chapter begins
So i move into the city, started making new friends
It was a nightmare experiencing the pain
Now i'm realizing here there ain't nothing that has changed
[chorus: vic vega]
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
I feel trapped trapped and alone
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
I feel trapped and alone
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
There's no place that i'd rather call home
I feel trapped and alone
I feel trapped and alone
I feel trapped and alone
I feel trapped and alone
I feel trapped and alone
