[00:11.64]Grew up making humble pacts
[00:12.99]Like the world will know our name
[00:14.44]Now we're staring out the window
[00:15.83]Pray this wings can hold our frame
[00:17.50]Oh my God
[00:18.94]Oh my God
[00:20.79]I just might jump off the roof
[00:23.48]Now we're standing in the meadows
[00:24.96]Where the flowers know our name
[00:26.45]We ain't ran from where we grew up
[00:27.89]****
[00:28.06]We'd prolly go insane
[00:29.46]Oh my God
[00:30.84]Oh my God
[00:32.75]I just wanna jump off the roof
[00:36.07]Tricksters by nature
[00:37.08]Who once favored summer stars
[00:38.38]Biggest steps on concrete
[00:39.79]But still look both ways for them cars
[00:41.68]Babies beating on they chest
[00:43.01]Claim one day
[00:43.59]The world is ours
[00:44.40]Til mama throw open window
[00:45.90]And yells my name from afar
[00:47.46]With a
[00:48.03]Face made of sunshine
[00:49.16]First child of the blood line
[00:50.63]The punch before you run kind
[00:52.00]Don't just say that **** nigga
[00:53.47]Spreading word
[00:54.14]As we run
[00:54.83]From where ocean hits the sun
[00:56.36]What's it that that you wish the world knew about your loved ones?
[00:59.34]We
[00:59.78]Grew up making humble pacts
[01:00.89]Like the world will know our name
[01:02.38]Now we're staring out the window
[01:03.83]Pray this wings can hold our frame
[01:05.50]Oh my God
[01:06.89]Oh my God
[01:08.78]I just might jump off the roof
[01:11.48]Now we're standing in the meadows
[01:12.89]Where the flowers know our name
[01:14.42]We ain't ran from where we grew up
[01:15.86]****
[01:16.15]We'd prolly go insane
[01:17.42]Oh my God
[01:18.84]Oh my God
[01:20.71]I just wanna jump off the roof
[01:23.64]Fear of God
[01:24.22]Fear of law
[01:24.92]Fear her straight forward gaze
[01:26.37]You not quick enough
[01:27.40]The raised hand **** it always gone graze
[01:29.44]Altar boys
[01:30.12]Just came home on the stoop playing dice
[01:32.16]Through screen doors
[01:33.22]Her shape forms
[01:34.14]She died for this life
[01:35.41]Once or twice
[01:36.36]Take a step back when you finna aim
[01:38.32]Young boy got a talent
[01:39.54]For gifting ghosts such beautiful names
[01:41.47]Still the age where this hurt
[01:42.70]To us
[01:43.11]A wonderful game
[01:44.26]Head out the window pray these wings hold up both our frames
[01:48.61]Pacing back and forth
[01:49.44]Can't find the words thats worth this ink
[01:51.31]I look up to the poster on my wall
[01:52.97]And ask
[01:54.21]What you think?
[01:55.43]Huh me?
[01:56.49]You see I think bright though the mind is dark
[01:59.37]Open my optics to optimism that's what I was taught
[02:02.69]To live like I'm blind yet always guided by God
[02:05.37]And I do this for anyone who looks anything like my mom
[02:08.36]You askin' me what I think I'm just a poster on your wall
[02:11.51]And I think you know the answer is right in your catalogue
[02:14.58]McKinley you showed me the importance of self-belief
[02:17.64]Be loved be jazzed you don't gotta be me
[02:20.61]Grew up making humble pacts like"The world will know our name"
[02:23.58]Now we're staring out the window pray these wings can hold our frame
[02:26.58]Oh my God oh my God I just might jump off the roof
[02:32.58]Now we're standing in the meadows where the flowers know our name
[02:35.41]We ain't ran from where we grew up **** we'd probably go insane
[02:38.39]Oh my God oh my God I just wanna jump off the roof
