Right Next to You (For the Neighbors)

[Hook]

I think I had a home

But I was told that we were stoned[?]

Now I've got no land of my own

And so I live right

I live right next to you

You want to know

Which parts of my world I haven't shown

I would invite you to my home

But it wouldn't feel right

I live right next to you

[Verse]

Yo, I'm not a straight-A student

I'm not a big gray space mutant

My world ain't the dark side of mercury

The currency isn't Miami bass music

I'm not from a doomed megalopolis

I don't sleep in a tomb/sarcophagus

My mother ain't a moonchild

My daddy didn't travel via rocket ship

I didn't jump through a stargate

I'm not gonna front like I'm Scarface

I don't glorify stupid shit

My moms got arrested in a car chase

I grew up in the crack years

And I hope they never come back here

In my class kids overdosed

But I was in the back reading Blackbeard

Yeah, I lived in the projects

All types of bullshit surrounded me

But that's not a parallel universe

This shit is just down the street

This isn't war correspondence

The conflict isn't far away

We all know where the battle is

We all know that is hard to say

[Hook]

You can't see my skin and bones

Cause I don't speak in human tones

And I'm never gonna keep up with the Jones'

Even though I live right

I live right next to you

Pick in my soul

And pick my coach[?] up 'til it's gone

But I'm gonna get back what I'm owed

So you just sit tight

I live right next to you

I had a home

But I was told that we were stoned[?]

Now I've got no land of my own

And so I live right

I live right next to you

You want to know

Which parts of my world I haven't shown

I would invite you to my home

Even though it's midnight

Cause I live right next to you
