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

Never know what'chu find inside
