- ? The walls are grey
? I can't believe the walls are grey
? I know what the caged bird choked on

? I wasn't even given permission to take
? a second of intermission to call and say
? despite an impressive effort to keep our love off
? the record, my mother is into target play
- (? Oooh, oooh) - Diji: BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT.
? I'll be the light before it gets dark

? and you better believe I said it quicker than I was
? thinking when my momma lil hammer came down
? "I hate you" spit across the room sent me
? and my bags to my dad's across town

- ? It was about 11 past heaven in February
? when pops told me he didn't care about my crimes
? In fact, shorty could slide
? if I kept my grades stacked and I did my time
? but a little birdy who had clearly never choked
? flew a little feather through the funnel with a note
? told my momma I was trippin- dippin on the low, and so
? I wouldn't see him again until I was grown
- (? Oooh, oooh)
