[Hook]
I think I had a home
But I was told that we were stoned[?]
Now I've got no land of my own
And so I live right
I live right next to you
You want to know
Which parts of my world I haven't shown
I would invite you to my home
But it wouldn't feel right
I live right next to you
[Verse]
Yo, I'm not a straight-A student
I'm not a big gray space mutant
My world ain't the dark side of mercury
The currency isn't Miami ba** music
I'm not from a doomed megalopolis
I don't sleep in a tomb/sarcophagus
My mother ain't a moonchild
My daddy didn't travel via rocket ship
I didn't jump through a stargate
I'm not gonna front like I'm Scarface
I don't glorify stupid sh**
My moms got arrested in a car chase
I grew up in the crack years
And I hope they never come back here
In my cla** kids overdosed
But I was in the back reading Blackbeard
Yeah, I lived in the projects
All types of bullsh** surrounded me
But that's not a parallel universe
This sh** is just down the street
This isn't war correspondence
The conflict isn't far away
We all know where the battle is
We all know that is hard to say
[Hook]
You can't see my skin and bones
Cause I don't speak in human tones
And I'm never gonna keep up with the Jones'
Even though I live right
I live right next to you
Pick in my soul
And pick my coach[?] up 'til it's gone
But I'm gonna get back what I'm owed
So you just sit tight
I live right next to you
I had a home
But I was told that we were stoned[?]
Now I've got no land of my own
And so I live right
I live right next to you
You want to know
Which parts of my world I haven't shown
I would invite you to my home
Even though it's midnight
Cause I live right next to you
