Lonely feelings in the city |
|
One room flat with crumbling walls |
|
Sirens play a distant melody |
|
Neon shadows paint the halls |
|
In the thirteen months i've spent here |
|
With my manuscript and rhymes |
|
I've paid in cash for foolish pleasures |
|
Mother dear you'd call them crimes |
|
Raise the roof |
|
Light the lite |
|
Mother dear i'm returning tonight |
|
Now i see |
|
Your concern |
|
Mother dear how you taught me to learn |
|
I been a roman for survival |
|
Showing two sides of my face |
|
I need the comfort of your wisdom |
|
I'm coming home to your embrace |
|
If by chance i pass before you |
|
Don't discount my gratitude |
|
You're responsible for me here |
|
And of course my attitude |
|
Raise the roof |
|
Light the lite |
|
Mother dear i'm returning tonight |
|
Now i see |
|
Your concern |
|
Mother dear how you taught me to learn |
|
Stayin' up half the night |
|
Wonderin' if what i'm doin' is right |
|
Raise the roof |
|
Light the lite |
|
Mother dear i'm returning tonight |
