Nina's good
My name's Nina and I play in the courtwith anything passin' through the District
my momma is clad everyday the same way
and she weeps if I ask her how the ocean's made
He's Pasquale he likes sneaking a peek
Of the world outta there from behind the vertical bars
The smells, colors, tastes of time
here it passes slower, that's on the regular
And here it's all dead, it's cold inside
These folks are troubled, my momma's fed up
the I'm tryin' to understand
if my mother is ill, where my father is at
and I can't figure out why she actin' this way
she leaves us alone hugging each other like that
amongst these people talkin' about death
I can see thru it, she's not happy at all
Nina, she deals figurines and she doesn't want to go out
she acts good and comes out only if her mom can come
Nina wants to go to the sea and fly a kite
Candy floss a winged horse blowin bubbles
I and Pasquale are now by the shore
our moms are teaching us how to swim
sandcastles diggin' holes
Pasqua' turn off the lights I want to dream again some more
The ocean was beautiful, it was stunning
the light was bright, not like inside here
that whenever I ask to unlock the door
they reply 'no, go to bed another time'
and I can't understand why we're here
me with my mother locked up like that
amongst these people not talkin' and not listenin'
not lookin' and not listenin', screamin and not listenin'.
Nina is now 5, she's afraid of stairs
hold me tight, that the storm persevere
Nina wants to go to the sea and go after the kite
Candy floss a winged horse blowin' bubbles
My name's Nina and I play in the court
with anything passin' trough the District
Nina wants a sunflower to plant in the yard
go away with me, go away with me, we can disappear
Nina wants to go to the sea and fly a kite
Candy floss a winged horse blowin bubbles
Nina wants to go to the sea and go after the kite
Candy floss a winged horse blowin' bubbles
My name's Nina, where's my kite at
Pasquale told me we're in jail
but I'm good take me to the sea
because I'm here that I have to serve my sentence.
