Lyrics Rooftop - Al Jacobi

(Jump, jump, jump)

Life is what you make it, the world is how you take it
But you can take a life and make the world go back to basics
So they ask about mine, and I say "save it"
Just save it

Don't give me no concern, I know it's only guilt and conscience
It's not care, but fear you won't learn to live and function
Thinking you coulda done something, but that's when you do too much
And your effort to solve my issues become the actual problem
If we all been born to die, then why can't I?
That 1-800 song got me suicidal every time
Hit up the suicide line, tell em my life is mine
And I'm too good for this world, that's right, no reply
Don't walk a mile in my shoe, you just walk right out the room
And let everybody know that it's a party on the roof
Cause it's about to go down, let go and let loose
Come and hang with the crowd, we all might end up in the news
Break your neck, break your leg, break your back, bust your moves
Take a quick shot to the head, drown in this booze
Mix up the meds with the rest, take a hit, take a few
Yeah, it's a different kinda high when you see it from my view, cause

I can see the world from a rooftop
Looking down, looking down
I can see it all, it's too much
Looking down
I can see the world from a rooftop
Looking down, looking down
I can see it all, it's too much
Looking down

At times I feel like I was born in a hearse
Like my whole life shoulda ended with my momma giving birth
And it's hard to look forward when you're stuck in reverse
There's no natural reaction when it's all so rehearsed
I only happened cause my dad didn't pull out
Pull up on the local gang, asking "when's the next shoot-out?"
I call up the local klan to recite em Martin Luther
Cause I have a dream they'd lynch me
And not another young, black dude now, now
Who gon stop me, who gon stop me?
My biggest hope as a baby was that my mama would drop me
They refer to me as crazy, but it's crazy what I see
I got everything I need, but it mocks me
So what's a stain on the street to a stain on a sheet?
If I was staying on the street, I'd be just another casualty
I would rather that you spent your time on that but on me
Cause if I fuck up and regret it, I still land on my feet

I can see the world from a rooftop
Looking down, looking down
I can see it all, it's too much
Looking down
I can see the world from a rooftop
Looking down, looking down
I can see it all, it's too much
Looking down

I don't see the beauty in life
If there was a way of suing, I'd be on the suer's side
Seems you gotta wrong somebody to be doing it right
And if you don't know about it, you're prolly who I describe
You the guy that told her lies to open her thighs and broke her heart
You the girl that let him hit it, then regretted and had him charged
You the man that strikes his wife in front of their child when life is rough
You the mom that leaves her kid while she gets pissed and hit the club
You the right that cries all lives matter in spite when no life does
You the left, the narcissists that won't admit they're just as lost
You the judge of anyone, you the type that's never wrong
You the rapper pointing fingers in his songs, oh

I can see the world from a rooftop
Looking down, looking down
I can see it all, it's too much
Looking down
I can see the world from a rooftop
Looking down, looking down
I can see it all, it's too much
I can myself on the ground, everybody go

Jump, jump, jump, jump
