about

An ode to new eras and spaces from Ahzia and Jim Swim

lyrics

Fasten the latch on the truck
Packed it all up
It's not a lot it's enough
I threw out half of my stuff
Kept what I love
Matched up my socks and my gloves
Now I'm at home in my zone
Wrapped in a robe
I make the rental feel opulent
Don't even care what I got in it
I kiss the chef and get compliments
They should know
I don't get bored or complacent though
Penthouse sound with a basement flow
All falls down if the basics go
My neighbors know my name cuz
I'm next door neighbor famous
And I only said hey once
Goals have been the same ones now
I fill my house with love

New digs new digs
I won't build a moat
New digs
I'm hostin' everyone I know
Come and get fed
Say hello
I'm in my lair
I swear I'm where I wanna go

New year new me new spot
We signing new leases
Seasons with keys in hand
There's things that you can't plan for
Do you got a sketchy landlord
Graduated I'm agile
Heart fine China fragile
Big sis in Hawaii
She regard the rap highly
Used to sit and think why me
Now I'm thinking hey why not me
Moving combat the monotony
Boxes reminiscing and sifting
If you need help then we can team lift it
Truly I'd hit a you-ee in a Uhaul if you call
You know

New digs new digs
I won't build a moat
New digs
I'm hostin' everyone I know
Come and get fed
Say hello
I'm in my lair
I swear I'm where I wanna go

Books on the walls like a professor
I'm not too bookish to throw a fiesta
Come get a cup what is your pleasure
We cooked the wings with some lemon and pepper

Follow me this way and see the diploma
Filling the space with a pleasant aroma
My fit is matching the curtains and carpet
You know I'm nice with a pen and a sharpie

I tell Alexa to play us some Remi
Been stacking up a whole tower of empties
Everyone's real its not like the Emmy's
Clownin the host but it doesn't offend me

AM approaches how long can we go
Type of discussion, you know if you know
Then I lay my head on some memory foam
This type of company makes it a home

New digs new digs
I won't build a moat
New digs
I'm hostin' everyone I know
Come and get fed
Say hello
I'm in my lair
I swear I'm where I wanna go

New digs new digs
I won't build a moat
New digs
I'm hostin' everyone I know
Come and get fed
Say hello
I'm in my lair
I swear I'm where I wanna go
