MONDAY BREAKFAST

[Verse One]

Kitchen light on, kettle takes a while to boil

Dad still tired, boots on but he barely move

Mum in the corner counting out what she's got

Tryna make a little strectch into a lot

Siblings in the hall, with socks that don't match

TV on low just to cover the gaps

Ain't really talkin', we just there in the spaces

Same old mornings on our same old faces

Youngest still sleeping, curled up on the couch

Sister brushin hair, not saying much out loud

I'm watching mum like she's trying not to show it

Like she's holding something in but we already know it

Then she tells us to "listen" and we go quiet like the dentist

"I saved a bit, we can go out for a breakfast"

And it don't sound big but it hits like a change

Like for once this week don't feel the same

 

[Chorus]

Dad been workin' hard, het gon' appreciate this

Sis been beggin', so she gon' en-joy this

I know my mama been low on spending, she wanted this,

Smile cross my face, I'm grateful for this shit

 

And that's my Mama, she the best

Saved up money for a Monday breakfast

I'm blessed

I'm blessed

 

[Verse Two]

We all sat down like we didn't know what to do

Menus in our hands but we're just happy to view

Dad looks different when he ain't got work on his mind

Mum keep smiling like she finally got some time

Eggs on the plate and toast sizzling on the side

Nothing fancy but it's feel so fucking right

Youngest laughing cos' he got juice in a glass

Sister kickin' my leg like "Don't eat it too fast!"

I look at my dad, hands rough from the grind

Never complains but works every time

I don't say it much but I see what he does

He don't talk about love, he just shows it with stuff

Mum leans back like she can finally breathe

Like the world outside don't matter this week

And for once it don't feel like we're gettin' by

It just feels like life, and I don't know why

Don't let this moment end

God please don't let this moment end

 

[Chorus[

Dad been workin' hard, he gon' aprreciate this

Sis been beggin', so she better enjoy this

I know my mama been low on spending, she planned this

Smile across my face, I'm so grateful for this shit

 

And that's my Mama, she the best

That's my mama, that's just what she does

Saved up money for a Monday breakfast

I'm blessed

So blessed

We're so blessed.
