Open Mike Eagle - Right Next to You (For the Neighbors) lyrics

[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
