Tight Rope - Brother Ali[00:00:00]

Frigid frozen Minnesota[00:00:25]

Chip on his shoulder[00:00:27]

Sick sleeping on a pissy sofa[00:00:28]

Unwanted visitor in a different culture[00:00:30]

Missing home and he can't go their civil waring[00:00:32]

Listen solider forget getting over[00:00:35]

Prison state around the corner homless is even closer[00:00:38]

Kids with similar skin color still don't even wantcha[00:00:40]

Spit and insult ya cause they have been here longer[00:00:43]

He leave his crib he guaranteed the pigs approach ya[00:00:46]

Where ya going where ya from any weapons on ya [00:00:48]

Your family is stressed out your getting older[00:00:51]

You don't live the way they did back in Somalia[00:00:53]

It's extra difficult to be a daughter[00:00:56]

Trying to keep it modest with sinners all around you[00:00:59]

Where the wrong garment your parents get an ulcer[00:01:01]

If you wrap it up the other children picking on you[00:01:04]

Live in two worlds with your eyes closed[00:01:07]

Tip toeing on a tight rope[00:01:10]

Holding on for survival[00:01:13]

Nobody to blame this is just how it goes[00:01:15]

Live in two worlds with your eyes closed[00:01:17]

Tip toeing on a tight rope[00:01:20]

Holding on for survival[00:01:23]

Nobody to blame this is just how it goes[00:01:26]

Holidays and you know what the business is[00:01:28]

You get two birthdays and two Christmases[00:01:30]

Older you get you resent how sick it is[00:01:33]

They're trying to cover their guilt with the gifts they give[00:01:36]

Bounce from his house to her house[00:01:39]

Too bad that marriage didn't work out[00:01:40]

Now you don't have a your house[00:01:42]

Daddy fighting mommy they both tell me they love me[00:01:43]

If I get to close to one the other one start acting funny[00:01:46]

Ma went and had a baby with a different dad[00:01:49]

You act happy to please em but you are really sad[00:01:52]

Seeing first hand that family that you will never have[00:01:54]

Plus you ain't no real brother you're just a half[00:01:57]

Got to pick up the pieces and move on[00:02:00]

Bed time stories and greet them on the phone[00:02:02]

Live in two houses and neither one is home[00:02:04]

Wishing you were grown have the freedom to get gone[00:02:07]

Live in two worlds with your eyes closed[00:02:10]

Tip toeing on a tight rope[00:02:13]

Holding on for survival[00:02:16]

Nobody to blame this is just how it goes[00:02:18]

Live in two worlds with your eyes closed[00:02:21]

Tip toeing on a tight rope[00:02:24]

Holding on for survival[00:02:27]

Nobody to blame this is just how it goes[00:02:29]

Daddy was a preacher momma was a Sunday school teacher[00:02:31]

Big brother football squad leader[00:02:34]

Now far be it for you to disappoint or displease them[00:02:36]

Your just being what you feel you see in[00:02:40]

That mirror every time you peer in[00:02:42]

Swallow the tears inside that empty feeling[00:02:44]

Her boy terrified to let the world in[00:02:47]

He has girlfriends but doesn't want a girlfriend[00:02:49]

He retreats inside himself[00:02:52]

Where he lives life itself in secret[00:02:55]

Daddy says people go to hell for being[00:02:57]

What he is and he certainly believes them[00:03:00]

Cause there ain't no flame that can blaze enough[00:03:03]

To trump being hated for the way you love[00:03:06]

And cry yourself to sleep and hate waking up[00:03:08]

It's a cold world y'all shame on us[00:03:11]

Live in two worlds with your eyes closed[00:03:13]

Tip toeing on a tight rope[00:03:17]

Holding on for survival[00:03:19]

Nobody to blame this is just how it goes[00:03:22]

Live in two worlds with your eyes closed[00:03:24]

Tip toeing on a tight rope[00:03:27]

Holding on for survival[00:03:30]

Nobody to blame this is just how it goes[00:03:32]
