lyrics

Box knife on the floor, I slice the tape

One blue plate, one pot, and a plastic crate

Rice in the bag, I wash it in the sink

Braam flats quiet, but my belly won’t blink

I open the window, smell taxi dust and rain

Lemon on the board, I salt it once again

Five-seventeen, my shirt still smells of paint

First meal in my own place, I cook it patient

Water hits the pot, starts talking back

Steam on the tiles, I watch it stack

On this side of town, I’m building from scratch

One small meal, but it feels like that

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

I made it here, I made it mine

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

One flat, one stove, one life

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

The spoon in my hand feels right

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

I eat, then I breathe tonight

Tomato on the spoon, red on my thumb

Neighbor’s bass in the wall, low and numb

I fry the onions slow till they turn gold

Cold tile under feet, but the room feels bold

Mama’s old pot, dent on the side

Carried from home, now it rides with pride

Chilli flakes on top, I taste my name

Same man in the mirror, but the room changed

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

I made it here, I made it mine

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

One flat, one stove, one life

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

The spoon in my hand feels right

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

I eat, then I breathe tonight

Late bus grinding past, windows shiver

A fork on the table, a spoon, a lighter

I laugh by myself at the soup’s small steam

No crowd, just a bowl and a brand-new dream

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

I made it here, I made it mine

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

One flat, one stove, one life

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

The spoon in my hand feels right

First pot, first pot, first pot, first pot

I eat, then I breathe tonight
