Rooftops Lyrics - Singles - Tarsha Vega

Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time to unwind 

I wrote a rhyme ripped it up and wrote some more 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 you 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 you some curves 

And yo you gotta 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 you and I 

So why can't we just 

You 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 

Ayyo, sometimes I'm introspective find a corner and hide 

Invariably the fantasy is sweeter than the real Holla 

So many intangibles and things that you ain't feel 

On the surface like rooftops that bask in the sun 

Clich and Egrave's a dime a dozen 

Beez are buzzin' feel it come on 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 you and 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 you and 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 and ya color it bright 

Like I told ya on the record still got time to shine 

Never know what'chu find inside
