Baby can I talk to you for a minute

I know you noticed things been tight around here lately

We don't really need all three of these bedrooms
If you really think about it we could live without it
There's a vacant spot one floor beneath for more cheap

We could afford it easy

Wouldn't have to really pack

Borrow your granddad's van or no **** like that

Save a hundred fifty each month
Go to Red Lobster and eat what we want

Moved down gave keys to the landlady
But I kept the spare set that she had gave me
It was cheaper but I actually regret
Couldn't even tell you were the extra money went

Can't go back now it's too late

New people moved into our old space

Of course they loud as a son of a *****
Not just partying they wild on some other ****
They selling something out of there
All night you can hear people up and down the stairs

But **** I ain't telling them they wrong
I just learn to sleep with the television on

And every single Wednesday they be gone
From nine till about at least eleven in the morn

I get a little peace from the floor boards creaking
And sleep in cause there isn't anybody home

**** they getting worse lately
They fuse and they curse and they wake up the baby
Last Tuesday night a fight broke out
And somebody let a gun off in the house

And so the very next morning
I listened through the floor until I heard them all leave
Crept upstairs with my old keys
Walked in a and helped myself to the whole thing

Half pound of week and a coke stash
A new 45 and a little stack of cash
Caught me a cab to St Paul
Selling them things that cheap man it ain't hard
Come home with close to 4 Gs
Plus saved my man a taste of the trees
Now I can hear them going crazy upstairs
Probably should have just kept our ass up there
