《Tight Rope》歌词

[00:00:00] Tight Rope - Brother Ali

[00:00:25] Frigid frozen Minnesota

[00:00:27] Chip on his shoulder

[00:00:28] Sick sleeping on a pissy sofa

[00:00:30] Unwanted visitor in a different culture

[00:00:32] Missing home and he can't go their civil waring

[00:00:35] Listen solider forget getting over

[00:00:38] Prison state around the corner homless is even closer

[00:00:40] Kids with similar skin color still don't even wantcha

[00:00:43] Spit and insult ya cause they have been here longer

[00:00:46] He leave his crib he guaranteed the pigs approach ya

[00:00:48] Where ya going where ya from any weapons on ya

[00:00:51] Your family is stressed out your getting older

[00:00:53] You don't live the way they did back in Somalia

[00:00:56] It's extra difficult to be a daughter

[00:00:59] Trying to keep it modest with sinners all around you

[00:01:01] Where the wrong garment your parents get an ulcer

[00:01:04] If you wrap it up the other children picking on you

[00:01:07] Live in two worlds with your eyes closed

[00:01:10] Tip toeing on a tight rope

[00:01:13] Holding on for survival

[00:01:15] Nobody to blame this is just how it goes

[00:01:17] Live in two worlds with your eyes closed

[00:01:20] Tip toeing on a tight rope

[00:01:23] Holding on for survival

[00:01:26] Nobody to blame this is just how it goes

[00:01:28] Holidays and you know what the business is

[00:01:30] You get two birthdays and two Christmases

[00:01:33] Older you get you resent how sick it is

[00:01:36] They're trying to cover their guilt with the gifts they give

[00:01:39] Bounce from his house to her house

[00:01:40] Too bad that marriage didn't work out

[00:01:42] Now you don't have a your house

[00:01:43] Daddy fighting mommy they both tell me they love me

[00:01:46] If I get to close to one the other one start acting funny

[00:01:49] Ma went and had a baby with a different dad

[00:01:52] You act happy to please em but you are really sad

[00:01:54] Seeing first hand that family that you will never have

[00:01:57] Plus you ain't no real brother you're just a half

[00:02:00] Got to pick up the pieces and move on

[00:02:02] Bed time stories and greet them on the phone

[00:02:04] Live in two houses and neither one is home

[00:02:07] Wishing you were grown have the freedom to get gone

[00:02:10] Live in two worlds with your eyes closed

[00:02:13] Tip toeing on a tight rope

[00:02:16] Holding on for survival

[00:02:18] Nobody to blame this is just how it goes

[00:02:21] Live in two worlds with your eyes closed

[00:02:24] Tip toeing on a tight rope

[00:02:27] Holding on for survival

[00:02:29] Nobody to blame this is just how it goes

[00:02:31] Daddy was a preacher momma was a Sunday school teacher

[00:02:34] Big brother football squad leader

[00:02:36] Now far be it for you to disappoint or displease them

[00:02:40] Your just being what you feel you see in

[00:02:42] That mirror every time you peer in

[00:02:44] Swallow the tears inside that empty feeling

[00:02:47] Her boy terrified to let the world in

[00:02:49] He has girlfriends but doesn't want a girlfriend

[00:02:52] He retreats inside himself

[00:02:55] Where he lives life itself in secret

[00:02:57] Daddy says people go to hell for being

[00:03:00] What he is and he certainly believes them

[00:03:03] Cause there ain't no flame that can blaze enough

[00:03:06] To trump being hated for the way you love

[00:03:08] And cry yourself to sleep and hate waking up

[00:03:11] It's a cold world y'all shame on us

[00:03:13] Live in two worlds with your eyes closed

[00:03:17] Tip toeing on a tight rope

[00:03:19] Holding on for survival

[00:03:22] Nobody to blame this is just how it goes

[00:03:24] Live in two worlds with your eyes closed

[00:03:27] Tip toeing on a tight rope

[00:03:30] Holding on for survival

[00:03:32] Nobody to blame this is just how it goes
