featuring Carole King

Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time
To unwind I wrote a rhyme ripped it up & wrote some mo 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 u 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 u some curves
And yo u gotsta 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 u and I
So why can't we just

U 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
Ay yo sometimes I'm introspective find a corner and hide
Invariably the fantasy is sweeter than the real Holla
So many intangibles and things that u ain't feel
On the surface like rooftops that bask in the sun
ClichÈ's a dime a dozen
Beez are buzzin' feel it c'mon 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 u & 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 u & 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 'n ya color it bright
Like I told ya on the record still got time to shine
