Two chairs wobble by a peeling wall
Mama stirs rice like she stirring us all
Apron stained but her smile pristine
She season a lesson every time she lean
Light bill red but the table got grace
We split one plate and still felt safe
She said "Baby hold steady" and passed me a wing
"Faith ain't fancy it's a day‑to‑day thing"
Kitchen gospel steam in the air
Every pot song say "you right there"
When the world loud this room so fair
Her love wrote the hook I can't repair
She braided sis hair while the news went numb
Said "Turn it downjoy gotta hum"
Taped leaks prayed rent laughed at the mess
Found heaven in the hush of a midnight rest
She kept her dreams in a coffee can tin
Said "When it's full we gon' start again"
Kitchen gospel
No choir robes just dish soap hands
But her hallelujah could move the land
Kitchen gospel hold me close
If I ever get lost this is home
