F#m
Man, I don't even know what happened
I was born inside of this shit
D
My fucking parents scrappin', I was mortified as a kid
Bm
Police always at my house all because of my daddy's temper
C#
Man, this shit been going on 'bout as long as I can remember
F#m
He always blamed my mom for the shit he didn't accomplish
D
I'd hide in the corner like a guinea pig in the process
Bm
Just knowing he 'bout to smack the fucking teeth out her mouth
C#
It's like when it came to some type of drama
He got aroused, no joke
F#m
There was the moments where dad would slowly be creeping up
D
I would jump in front of my mama: "Please don't beat her up"
Bm
I ain't never spoke on this shit, the memories are rough
C#
Smiles and hugs, that's just something you'll never see in us
F#m
You know the pain when your parents tell you to go and play
D
Then hours later you see your mom and she got a swollen face
Bm
I hope you don't relate, I just learned how to cope today
C#
From the days when I would pick up the phone and say
[Chorus]
F#m
I gotta leave here now
D
My mom and dad acting crazy and this ain't right
Bm
And they've been going back and forth all night
C#
I wanna stay at your house tonight
F#m
'Cause I don't wanna hear my dad fightin’ momma no more
D
I don't wanna hear the police at the front door
Bm
Can I stay at your house?
C#
I wanna stay at your house tonight (Your house tonight)
[Verse 2]
F#m
I would go to school feeling so frightened, yeah, I was scared
D
Not knowing if I'ma go home finding my momma dead
Bm
Every other fucking day, dad was always losing control
C#
He was acting like a fucking ape, runnin' loose in our home
F#m
Man ever since I was born they was pessimistic and torn
D
It's evident, but regardless they'd never get a divorce
Bm
God, I wish they got around it, just checking into some counselin'
C#
We could have been a happy family inside our house again
F#m
I said again as if we ever were, that's false
D
Shit I dealt with growing up, will forever hurt, I'm lost
Bm
We were nothing like the families I used to see on the sitcoms
C#
We were horrible with bonds, I can no longer sit calm
F#m
I would see that my friends had a life at home that was peaceful
D
They were lovable people, who didn't function like we do
Bm
Oh how I wish I could redo the pain of the wicked days
C#
When I'd pick up the telephone, call a friend and say
[Chorus]
F#m
I gotta leave here now
D
My mom and dad acting crazy and this ain't right
Bm
And they've been going back and forth all night
C#
I wanna stay at your house tonight
F#m
'Cause I don't wanna hear my dad fightin’ momma no more
D
I don't wanna hear the police at the front door
Bm
Can I stay at your house?
C#
I wanna stay at your house tonight (Your house tonight)
[Verse 3]
F#m
I ain't placing the blame saying it's mom or dad's fault
D
But all those traumas I had stuck with me as an adult
Bm
And it ignited these mad thoughts that I seem to have often
C#
Yeah, that's Hopsin, music is where my last straw went
F#m
Now I'm devoted to always give you my true life
D
The love I never felt growing up I get it from you guys
Bm
Please don't get it twisted, I love both my parents to death
C#
I just think there's issues a lot of fucking parents neglect
F#m
We all got these traumas we carry and sometimes it's scary
D
'Cause we buried a nest, right there in our chest
BmC#
And we subconsciously air and project our nightmares and the stress that we dealt with when we were younger
And that's why therapy’s best, listen
F#m
If you got kids of your own and you throwing tantrums
D
Don't be oblivious and assume that it won't impact them
Bm
Children follow the protocol of their parents blueprint
C#
So when there's an issue, they might handle it just how you did (You did, you did)
[Chorus]
F#m
I gotta leave here now
D
My mom and dad acting crazy and this ain't right
Bm
And they've been going back and forth all night
C#
I wanna stay at your house tonight
F#m
'Cause I don't wanna hear my dad fightin’ momma no more
D
I don't wanna hear the police at the front door
Bm
Can I stay at your house?
C#
I wanna stay at your house tonight (Your house tonight)
