Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 much more cheap, we could afford it easy
Wouldn't even have to really pack
Borrow your grandad's van or no shit like that
Save a hundred-fifty each month
Go to Red Lobster and eat what we want
[Verse 2]
Moved down, gave keys to the landlady
But I kept the spare set that she had gave me
It's cheaper, but I actually regret
Couldn't even tell you where the extra money went
Can't go back now, it's too late
New people moved in to our old space
Course they loud as a son of a bitch
Not just partyin', they wild on some other shit
They selling something out of there
All night you can hear people up and down the stairs
But, shit, 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 at least 'bout eleven in the morn'
Get a little peace from the floorboards creaking
And sleep in 'cause there isn't anybody home
[Verse 3]
Shit, they getting worse lately
They fuss, and they curse, and keep waking up the baby
Last Tuesday night a fight broke out
And somebody let off a gun up in the house
And so the very next morning
I listened through the floor till I heard them all leave
Crept upstairs with my old keys
Walked in and helped myself to the whole thing
Half pound of weed, a big coke stash
New .45 and a little stack of cash
Caught me a cab over to St. Paul
Selling them things that cheap, man it ain't hard
Came 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
