Rooftops - Lyrics - Tarsha Vega

Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time to unwind I wrote a rhyme ripped it up and wrote some more lines Lookin' out my window saw an eagle fly by, the vibe's Up on the fire escape, the steps I takes when I climb Yo, I gets higher than the size of a high rise, y'all realize I be starin' at the skyline through some Technicolor eyes I see the rooftops with their colors none are ever the same And I got many colors in me you couldn't capture in a frame, yo I gets Red when I gets heated I be blue when I'm mistreated Yo my parents separated when I was a kid I wasn't defeated 'cause life is down to throw you some curves And yo you gotta be strong and move on Colors in the sky reflectin' the light Celebratin' life and it feels alright There's room upon the palate for you and I So why can't we just You and me kid we down to spray paint the sky Gonna check out all the colors as they intensify how high Shades and tones together they electrify Ayyo, sometimes I'm introspective find a corner and hide Invariably the fantasy is sweeter than the real Holla So many intangibles and things that you ain't feel On the surface like rooftops that bask in the sun Clich and Egrave's a dime a dozen Beez are buzzin' feel it come on some 'bout the Green like moneymakers clock the cream like they in Vegas Livin' dollar to dollar runnin through they every wages and My life be what I makes it in this celluloid fling uh See me and Carole King up on a rooftop singin' up on the roof Colors in the sky reflectin' the light Celebratin' life and it feels alright There's room upon the palate for you and I So why can't we just Paint in every color and reflect the light We doin' it together and it feels alright There's room upon the palate for you and I So why can't we just Took a little walk lost track of the time Wrote another rhyme and the flow's still divine Gazin' down on Broadway at the neon signs Like Q-Tip say Joni Mitchell never lie And ya don't know what'chu got in this life Ya finally find, ya canvas and ya color it bright Like I told ya on the record still got time to shine Never know what'chu find inside
