《Room With A View》歌词

[00:00:00] Room With A View - Brother Ali

[00:00:29] One side of the street is malone's funeral home

[00:00:32] And the other side's a library

[00:00:34] Try very hard to picture this shit

[00:00:36] Walk through where I live at

[00:00:38] Where parents are embarrassed to

[00:00:39] Tell you they raise their kids at

[00:00:41] If you need some half and half

[00:00:42] Or an eight ball you could get that

[00:00:44] F**k with little rodney

[00:00:45] And you get all of your ribs cracked

[00:00:46] In a location where slangin' crack rock is not seen

[00:00:49] A f**kin' recreation but a vocation

[00:00:51] And the sellers and the smokers are both pacin'

[00:00:54] Got one eye on minneapolic PD they both racin'

[00:00:57] Three for fifty is the supply and demand

[00:01:00] In the twin cities american heartland

[00:01:03] And they been busy

[00:01:04] Masterminds tearing apart plans

[00:01:06] And hoop dreamers ballin' with blisters

[00:01:08] On their hands

[00:01:08] With chains dangling from the rims

[00:01:11] Pain strangles them from within

[00:01:13] Until a belt around the arm makes

[00:01:15] The veins stand at attention

[00:01:19] I try to block it out with a bed sheet

[00:01:21] That moonlights as a curtain

[00:01:22] Cause I'm not comforted by red

[00:01:24] And blue lights when I'm hurting

[00:01:25] “Mommy loves you”

[00:01:26] Yeah I knew but I wasn't certain

[00:01:27] Cause the lenses through

[00:01:29] Which she views life wasn't working

[00:01:30] As a boy she told me

[00:01:32] “Wait for your father to come home”

[00:01:33] I'm 24 still waiting for my father to come home

[00:01:36] And some parents only touch their children

[00:01:38] When the whips brought

[00:01:39] That's why bad kids to bad shit

[00:01:40] Just so they can get caught

[00:01:42] And get touched; this growing up shit's rough

[00:01:44] That's a big part of why we're so mixed up

[00:01:47] Shit we don't have bah mitzvahs

[00:01:49] We become men the first time our father hits us

[00:01:51] And we don't open gifts up

[00:01:53] Sister regina from across the street is beautiful

[00:01:56] But for fifty bucks

[00:01:57] Ain't nothing she won't do to you

[00:01:58] Used to be premium pussy now she's used up

[00:02:01] For that same fifty bucks she gotta

[00:02:03] Do some new stuff

[00:02:04] Whatever it takes to make you pull the dollars out

[00:02:06] If you don't intervene

[00:02:07] Then there's a day she'll turn her daughter out

[00:02:09] Speaking of kids

[00:02:10] I'm fixing lunch for my first born

[00:02:12] I had the windows wide open

[00:02:14] 'Cause the weather's warm

[00:02:15] That's when the greatest hits of donnie hathaway

[00:02:17] Got interrupted by

[00:02:18] A drive-by shooting half a block away

[00:02:20] Faheem was I the window he didn't get hit though

[00:02:23] “All praise due allah”

[00:02:26] I see all this from the desk

[00:02:27] That I write my rhymes from

[00:02:29] Pen starts to scribble on it's own my mind's numb

[00:02:31] But you could call me modern

[00:02:33] Urban norman rockwell

[00:02:34] I paint a picture of the spot well

[00:02:36] I see all this from the desk

[00:02:38] That I write my rhymes from

[00:02:39] Pen starts to scribble on it's own my mind's numb

[00:02:42] But you could call me modern

[00:02:44] Urban norman rockwell

[00:02:45] I paint a picture of the spot well

[00:02:47] I see all this from the desk

[00:02:49] That I write my rhymes from

[00:02:50] Pen starts to scribble on it's own my mind's numb

[00:02:53] But you could call me modern

[00:02:55] Urban norman rockwell

[00:02:56] I paint a picture of the spot well
