Brandon Nembhard - CEILING Lyrics

Hmph
They weren't supplying the region
Back then when we needed peace
Night-time creeping
Floorboards creaking
The man with the key
Couldn't be discrete
Grew up with a crack in the ceiling
I thought it would reach to me
Then on a hopeful season
I deeped it
Now I'm a man you'd be pleased to meet

My bro, please move reasonably
That boy's hot with a reason to be
He don't care about his life
So why would he care about mine or yours
He just needs a release
He's bout to blow
Put T in T
Power bestowed
Is a mountain below
The courage it takes
To kneel in defeat
Cause from there we stand
Won't need the receipts
If you're going band for band
Then don't get mad
If I don't buy it
Cause a man with cash in his hand
Is a man in demand
Who can't keep quiet, sh
I'm in the party sighing
I'm mad and I can't keep lying
I left my yard, I stepped too far
And I know that it weren't required

Gotta practice patience
They doctor the top
But saw man coming
Like that's so raven
Yeah, it's a bashful statement
Hogging my plate when they act so craven
But I have to bank on man
Instead of myself?
I'd still be waiting

They say the darker the night
They say the brighter the light
I know my left from my right
Just cause I couldn't decide
Throughout my life
I've heard Gomen Nasai
Way too many times
If you wait on the sea
Instead of the tide
Then maybe you'll see
Why we look to the sky

They say the darker the night
They say the brighter the light
I know my left from my right
Just cause I couldn't decide

Throughout my life
I've heard Gomen Nasai
Way too many times
Raised up in Gotham
Gatekeeped by crime
We were born in the dark
But we needed to shine


This is the plight of the left handed child taught
They were the spawn of evil. Shoutout to my primary school teacher
Who refused to teach me how to write on the account of that.
Funny how life turns out, huh? Yeah.

I'm stood here on a different plane
Still carrying luggage
I don't pull rank
But that boy there got carried in public
Everyone's carrying something
So everyone's carrying something
Parrying punches
Please don't meet
She won't set you free
No Harriet Tubman
It's only when things get sticky
You see your group's been lacking the suction
When things get stark
Like Arya,
All we have is assumptions
Never been barrier bumping
TFL moves like a thief in the night
So I get how man gets back by giving them nothing
7 a week
Like a harrier's coming
But I'm changing the subject
First year here and I came on smoke
I have no vice
So I ain't your type
Cause you pay your price
When you take your toke

I'm on tea and herbs
And all of the fruit and roots
From the earth we grow
Cause the seeds we sow
Get reaped tenfold
I got let go,
Now they call my phone
They say that I'm clear
But I'm no where near
Next thing you know they'll
Call sleet snow
With every drop
They say don't stop
When will they clock
That I don't reload
Cause one in the chamber
Is not gonna save ya'
Even if that one blows
The next not matching the high
Is low
In the eyes of most


They weren't supplying the region
Back then when we needed peace
Night-time creeping
Floorboards creaking
The man with the key
Couldn't be discrete
Grew up with a crack in the ceiling
I thought it would reach to me
Then on a hopeful season
I deeped it
Now I'm a man you'd be pleased to meet

They say the darker the night
They say the brighter the light
I know my left from my right
Just cause I couldn't decide
Throughout my life
I've heard Gomen Nasai
Way too many times
If you wait on the sea
Instead of the tide
Then maybe you'll see
Why we look to the sky

They say the darker the night
They say the brighter the light
I know my left from my right
Just cause I couldn't decide
Throughout my life
I've heard Gomen Nasai
Way too many times
Raised up in Gotham
Gatekeeped by crime
We were born in the dark
But we needed to shine"
