I used to live downstairs in a rundown apartment My neighbors upstairs were loud And I could hear the sound of them walkin' Upstairs downstairs I felt when I lived there That they were walkin' on me I remember when he moved in He laid rugs across the hardwood floors Tacked posters, up on every door And said I can't get no space Upstairs downstairs I laughed it off with a shrug Rolled out like a rug and let him walk on me Walk walkin' on me Walk walkin' on me I reached for the ceiling but I settled for the floor I said come on, walk on me? I remember when he moved out He took everything I owned and left an Empty house With a note tacked on each door With a list of reasons why he left me for her And upstairs downstairs the apartments Began to shake With the sound of me rollin' up off the ground And screamin' I've had all that I can take
