Lyrics
Cascade Road kitchen, Tuesday, seven on the dot
Ma sets the plate by the window sill, steamin' from the pot
Same spot for Gabriel, same Gullah rice, the Zatarain's box
She hums a hymn, I watch the roux burn, tangled in the plot
This house got a quiet that the 808s can't kill
A silence with a body weight, a memory with a will
We say the grace, she bows her head, my own testimony's still
Like the collard greens are over-salted, somethin' I can't spill
[Chorus]
Extra plate, empty chair
Cookin' for a ghost who ain't never there
Sanctify the steam in the kitchen air
Is this memory, Lord, or is it a prayer?
[Verse 2]
She said, "Don't move his Jordans from the bottom of the stairs"
So I just step around 'em, breathin' in the bygone airs
The Shawty Redd CDs still sittin' in a dusty stack
Each scratch is like a story that I know ain't comin' back
This recipe for grievin' got no measurements, no time
Just add another onion 'til the tears feel like they're mine
I'm the good son by default, here to sanctify the crime
Of survivin', is that livin' or just servin' out the time?
[Bridge]
'Cause if you cook his favorite meal down to the final grain
Do you hold on to his soul, or do you trap him in the pain?
Is this a Sunday service, or we just goin' insane?
[Outro]
We keep his plate warm, but our food gets cold.

His mother still sets an extra plate at the dinner table for his brother; Chapel Haze…
