Unspoken Stitch

[Verse 1]
Pulled up slow, the streetlights paint a story in the rain,
This ain't no loan, mama, I untangled all the pain.
The key felt heavy, a silver stitch, a promise in my palm,
Past the porch where shadows stretched, breaking every storm.

[Chorus]
That silence in the doorway, a hush of old-worn thread,
New fabric for your future, every worry unsaid.
This house ain't just a building, it's a tapestry unbound,
My hands built this peace, on this sacred ground.

[Verse 2]
Remember ramen nights, the faint djembe in the air?
Now Akwaaba rings eternal, no more burdens left to bear.
Your working hands, they taught me patience, the strength in every seam,
Atlanta's hum, a gentle sigh, fulfilling every dream.

[Bridge]
They saw the struggle, the grind, the 'outsider' in the fold,
Never saw the fire burning, stories yet untold.
This ain't a compromise, no, this is freedom's bold design,
My own damn river, flowing, truly divine.

[Outro]
Just the quiet, mama. A future re-stitched, tight.
