Basement
F.I.E.L.D.Y. & Messerschmitt Lyrics

My last house was so crazy
I lived in a really wild house before

Tryna find a way to fall asleep to the crying baby
I had trouble sleeping because of a crying baby

I don't know if the construction was off
I'm not sure if the house was built correctly

But something was super shady
Something was definitely not right

So Imma let you in on all the stuff that I thought was just zany
Let me tell you all the crazy things I experienced in that house

I moved around a bit but here we stayed long
I've lived in different places but stayed in this house for a while

So at the moment I'll consider this my childhood home
Right now, I see this as my childhood home

So many spots for the Roomba just to go 'head and roam
There were a lot of places for the Roomba to clean

And upstairs, I be focusing on writing all my songs
I spent a lot of time upstairs writing music

Sadly the ceiling always leaked 'cause the roof was too flat
The ceiling leaked a lot because of the flat roof

I don't even know how gave it permission to go and do that
I don't know who allowed that to happen

But it would never flipping stop
The leak was constant and never stopped

Drip dripping from the top
Water was dripping from the ceiling

Too many times I brought the idea to move back
I thought about moving out many times

But sometimes you just gotta be patient
I had to be patient and wait it out

When you wonder how the house stays up on this foundation
I questioned how the house was standing on its foundation

You still think my house is normal you don't know the location
You might think my house is normal but you don't know where it is

'Cause the weirdest part was the attic was in the basement
The attic was located in the basement which was strange

Walk into the living room, you wonder where it is
It was hard to find the living room sometimes

'Cause the living room was over her but now it's over there
The living room was moved around a lot

Coming home from being out
Returning home after being out

Seeing it was moved around
Seeing that the living room was rearranged

If it were up to me, I'd keep it
I liked the living room the way it was

It wasn't fair
It wasn't fair to keep changing it

My mom ain't like the dining room
My mom didn't like the dining room

Sometimes she like the kitchen more
Sometimes she preferred the kitchen

So she would use that to mess up the house
She would use the kitchen to disrupt the house

Unbelievable
I couldn't believe it

And I'm okay with change
I'm okay with change sometimes

Maybe
Sometimes

Sometimes she need a new way
Sometimes my mom needed a change

To go about things
To approach things differently

Like some signs
Like some kind of signage or labeling

Anyway the kitchen was small
The kitchen was a bit small

I mean the kitchen was big
Actually, the kitchen was quite spacious

I mean the kitchen was all right
The kitchen was decent

We had these cabinets on the wall
There were cabinets hanging on the wall

And the cabinets were small
The cabinets were a bit small

Or were they big
Actually, they might have been a good size

Uhh
Hm...

Maybe not quite
Actually, they were probably too small

But who cares about the cabinets arrangements
The arrangement of the cabinets wasn't a big deal

I'm still tryna figure out where the living room is placed at
I'm still confused about where the living room was located

You still don't know the half of it, I need a vacation
You don't know the half of how crazy this house was, I need a break

'Cause the weirdest part was the attic was in the basement
The attic being located in the basement was the weirdest part

The bathroom just so happened to be on the second floor
The bathroom was on the second floor

So just about in total, the number of rooms up there was four
There were four total rooms on the second floor

The reason I explain this is because it brought a chore
I explained this because it was a hassle to clean both floors

And I just wanted to go ahead and sneak out the backdoor
I just wanted to leave without anyone noticing sometimes

If it weren't for this then there would be no need for summary
If the house wasn't so weird, there wouldn't be a need to explain it

But due to its placement I had two floors to clean for company
Because of the unique location layout, I had to clean both floors for guests

I couldn't trust that they could just stay in the living room
I couldn't trust that guests would only stay in the living room

As you can see, that was kinda already hard for me
As you can imagine, this was already difficult for me

At first mamma had the big room, but she changed it
At first, my mom had the big room, but then she switched rooms

She likes to do this a lot
She likes to change things around a lot

I for one can't take it
I personally find it hard to handle

I find it amazing
I find it impressive in a way

She can't stay in one place and
She can't stay in one place for long

Got me and my sister involved
My sister and I were involved in the room-swapping process

We had to face it
We had to deal with it

My first room became my sisters replacement
My first room became my sister's new room

She started painting on the walls tryna deface it
My sister started painting on the walls to change the room's appearance

But after walking down some stairs, I had some patience
Eventually, I learned to be patient with the room-changing process

'Cause the weirdest part was the attic was in the basement
Again, the weirdest part was the attic being in the basement
