Room 34 - B.o.B

I look down

Out my window

I see your face and your shadow

On the street below me

In room 34, in the third row

There sits a young brother and they call him Earl-O

There’s a girl that Earl knows, also in the third row

And he wanna flirt, so he passes her dirty notes

Now she flirt back, even though every girl know

Earl-O popular, fuck taking girls home

So he asks her for her number, she said «somethin, somethin, 0»?

«Please call me after 7 cause my minutes very low»

So when the bell rang, the girl dip and hurry home

But Earl wanna follow, so he hopped in his Impala

Then he pulled up beside her on interior and chrome

He offered her a ride, «I'll take you where you wanna go»

She said «if you don’t mind, I’m over there by ?»

She hopped up in the ride then he got his swerve on

They pulled up outside, he asked «were your parents home?»

She said «come inside, don’t be nervous, we’re alone»

I look down

Out my window

I see your face and your shadow

On the street below me

Now Earl called his homeboys, on his Chirp phone

Told 'em «come over» and no, he ain’t let the girl know

Apartment 34, in the third door

To your left, there’s a girl left on the dirty floor

She’s staring at the ceiling as the ceiling fan blows

All the blood on her face at the tip of her nose

Her mama walk in like «what in the world’s wrong?

Why you laying butt naked?

Girl, where your clothes?»

But she ain’t say nothing cause she just turned 14

The cuts hurt but her pride hurt mostly

Her mama pick her up and put her shirt on

Now she headed to the emergency room

She asked if dad was coming home from work soon

«Please promise me you ain’t gon' tell a word to 'im»

It’s just another day as the world moves

Moves, moves, moves, damn

I look down

Out my window

I see your face and your shadow

On the street below me

Well in room 34, on the third floor

There sits a sad family and they talking to the po

The cop ask her if she know if Earl-O sell dope

Then he get his information then he get back on patrol

When everybody leave, she go and lock the door

Then she walk up to the window while she standing in her robe

She open up the window then she write a little note

And take a deep breath and open it some more

She take her first step, her other foot on the floor

She hesitate a little but she know she wanna go

She look up at the sky then she look down at the road

And sing a little song and this is how it go

I look down

Out my window

I see your face and your shadow

On the street below me
