Brother Ali - House Keys lyrics

rate me

Baby can I talk to you for a minute?

I know you noticed things been tight around here lately

We don't really need all three of these bedrooms

If you really think about it, we could live without it

There's a vacant spot one floor beneath for more cheap

We could afford it easy

Wouldn't have to really pack

Borrow your granddad's van or no shit like that

Save a hundred fifty each month

Go to Red Lobster and eat what we want

Moved down, gave keys to the landlady

But I kept the spare set that she had gave me

It was cheaper but I actually regret

Couldn't even tell you were the extra money went

Can't go back now it's too late

New people moved into our old space

Of course they loud as a son of a bitch

Not just partying they wild on some other shit

They selling something out of there

All night you can hear people up and down the stairs

But shit I ain't telling them they wrong

I just learn to sleep with the television on

And every single Wednesday they be gone

From nine till about at least eleven in the morn

I get a little peace from the floor boards creaking

And sleep in cause there isn't anybody home

Shit they getting worse lately

They fuse and they curse and they wake up the baby

Last Tuesday night a fight broke out

And somebody let a gun off in the house

And so the very next morning, I listened through the floor until I heard them all leave

Crept upstairs with my old keys

Walked in a and helped myself to the whole thing

Half pound of week and a coke stash

A new 45 and a little stack of cash

Caught me a cab to St. Paul

Selling them things that cheap, man it ain't hard

Come home with close to 4 Gs

Plus saved my man a taste of the trees

Now I can hear them going crazy upstairs

Probably should have just kept our ass up there
