Lyric Rooftops
featuring Carole King
Stayed in bed all mornin just to pass the time
To unwind I wrote a rhyme ripped it up & wrote some mo lines
Lookin out my window saw an eagle fly by
The vibe s up on the fire escape
The steps I takes when I climb
Yo I gets higher than the size of a high rise
Y all realize I be starin at the skyline through some technicolor eyes
I see the rooftops with their colors none are ever the same
And I got many colors in me u couldn t capture in a frame
Yo I gets
Red when I gets heated I be blue when I m mistreated
Yo my parents separated when I was a kid
I wasn t defeated cause life is down to throw u some curves
And yo u gotsta be strong and move on
Colors in the sky reflectin the light
Celebratin life and it feels alright
There s room upon the palate for u and I
So why can t we just
U and me kid we down to spray paint the sky
Gonna check out all the colors as they intensify how high
Shades and tones together they electrify
Ay yo sometimes I m introspective find a corner and hide
Invariably the fantasy is sweeter than the real Holla
So many intangibles and things that u ain t feel
On the surface like rooftops that bask in the sun
ClichÈ s a dime a dozen
Beez are buzzin feel it c mon some bout the
Green like moneymakers clock the cream like they in Vegas
Livin dollar to dollar runnin through they every wages and
My life be what I makes it in this celluloid fling uh
See me and Carole King up on a rooftop singin
Up on the roof)
Colors in the sky reflectin the light
Celebratin life and it feels alright
There s room upon the palate for u & I
So why can t we just
Paint in every color and reflect the light
We doin it together and it feels alright
There s room upon the palate for u & I
So why can t we just
Took a little walk lost track of the time
Wrote another rhyme and the flow s still divine
Gazin down on Broadway at the neon signs
Like Q-Tip say Joni Mitchell never lie
And ya don t know what chu got in this life
Ya finally find ya canvas n ya color it bright
Like I told ya on the record still got time to shine
Never know what chu find inside
Stayed in bed all mornin just to pass the time
To unwind I wrote a rhyme ripped it up & wrote some mo lines
Lookin out my window saw an eagle fly by
The vibe s up on the fire escape
The steps I takes when I climb
Yo I gets higher than the size of a high rise
Y all realize I be starin at the skyline through some technicolor eyes
I see the rooftops with their colors none are ever the same
And I got many colors in me u couldn t capture in a frame
Yo I gets
Red when I gets heated I be blue when I m mistreated
Yo my parents separated when I was a kid
I wasn t defeated cause life is down to throw u some curves
And yo u gotsta be strong and move on
Colors in the sky reflectin the light
Celebratin life and it feels alright
