lyrics

(eh, eh)

Nobody in that kitchen has ever spoken one language
Half a sentence starts in Spanish, finishes in Florida
Mi abuela corrects my grammar in both, simultaneously
(simultaneously)
She is the only person alive who can insult me twice at once

Everybody's loud (everybody's loud)
And it took me till nineteen to know that's love

Abuela's kitchen
(la cocina)
Where nobody finishes a sentence or a fight
Abuela's kitchen
Everything I am was cooked in there

Mi tia asks when I'm getting married, every time, on schedule
I say never, she says "okay, in two years", and moves on
That's not a disagreement, that's a negotiation
(negotiation)
And honestly I think she's winning

Cuando ella se vaya
this kitchen becomes a room.
I'm not ready. Nobody's ready.
(drums return, warm)

Abuela's kitchen
(la cocina)
Where nobody finishes a sentence or a fight
Abuela's kitchen
Everything I am was cooked in there

(la cocina...)
