Brother Ali - House Keys lyrics

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 sh** 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 b**h Not just partying they wild on some other sh** They selling something out of there All night you can hear people up and down the stairs But sh** 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 sh** 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 a** up there
