paroles de chanson Rooftops - SJ

Chillin on these rooftops
Unsettled thoughts wander at night
Reflecting on the direction
That I'm goin in life (Oh ay ay)
Chillin on these rooftops
Unsettled thoughts wander at night
(Wander all night)
Reflecting on the direction
That I'm goin in life (Oh ay ay)

Sitting on my rooftop just chillin at night
Thinkin bout all the things that transpired in life
Just got off the phone with mom's, feelin all right
Man livin overseas makes ya miss ya fam, so I write
In the pages of my magnum opus
I remember way back when just feelin hopeless
Hearkening back to the time I almost lost my life
Shit even though I survived my heart is burnin now
For the times jealousy bred up in my family
You say you care but still you tried t' dismantle me
But now that I'm makin it happen overseas
You wanna act all cool & friendly, man just apologize
And for y'all who thinkin highly of this low life, uh
That nigga wasn't my daddy, y'all better recognize
That thin line between what is love and what is blind
Stay woke before you miss the signs

Chillin on these rooftops
Unsettled thoughts wander at night
Reflecting on the direction
That I'm goin in life (Oh ay ay)
Chillin on these rooftops
Unsettled thoughts wander at night
(Wander all night)
Reflecting on the direction
That I'm goin in life (Oh ay ay)

Sometimes I let my thoughts wander
When I'm starin at buildings
And everything I bottled comes out
While I'm scriptin my lyrics
Overflowing emotions I should've addressed in the moment
But I'm slowly tickin until the time is up that I blow up
And that time can't be erased
I sometimes forget the stakes
And where I came from, in an instant it can all be taken
Mechanics of a black man dealin with hate everyday
Sudden unleash of his anger, and people scared of his rage
But in the wake of George Floyd, people finally understand
It's gon be a long journey walkin towards a promised land
But I'm praying that the lord protect me
As I try t' make generational wealth for my family
It been a long time, constant on the grind
Hustle day and night, now I see a ton of ROI, look
Started on the east now we here
Chillin on these rooftops planning out my years, uh

Chillin on these rooftops
Unsettled thoughts wander at night
Reflecting on the direction
That I'm goin in life (Oh ay ay)
Chillin on these rooftops
Unsettled thoughts wander at night
(Wander all night)
Reflecting on the direction
That I'm goin in life (Oh ay ay)
