Brother Ali
Under the Stars
[Verse: Brother Ali]
How you gon' punch me in the eye?
I would've punched you in the body
My mama used to call the cops on me
Homies used to clown me
And the neighbors used to sic their dogs on me
I guess I get it
I've got this funny vibe and you ain't messin' with it
I'll be on my way in a sec, just let me rest a minute
I ain't homeless, I'm between homes
Ain't lurkin', I'm just searchin' for a surface I can lean on
Somethin' to eat on
Little chew, swallow, chew, swallow, so my stomach isn't too hollow to be gonе
You ain't have to rush the kids away from me
I just want to warn 'еm 'bout what the voices are saying to me
They may want to listen
Act like you ain't never got caught pissin' and had to go to court and war with the system
Anywho, guess they're just giving badges to any fool
Bang a gavel if you take a quick bath in a swimming pool
I know not everyone does it, but plenty do
I saw Jesus once and I don't act like I'm better than you
Take good care
I used to shower at the shelter, but they're crazy there

[Chorus: Brother Ali]
Some are on couches, some are in cars
Some are out here under the stars
No matter what coop you flew
Can't do what you want to
When nobody wants you
Some are on couches, some are in cars
Some are out here under the stars
No matter what coop you flew
Can't do what you want to
When don't nobody want you
