[Intro]

Uh

Yeah

Yeah, uh

[Verse 1]

I had this little bad thing, somethin' like them tens

She gave a nigga mad brain, somethin' like The Wiz

But, you see, the sad thing fuckin' with her is

Is the chick ain't even have brains, dummy like a bitch

So I tried to show her about the world and about just who we really are

And where we've come and how we still have to go really far

Like, "Baby, look at how we live broke on the boulevard"

But all she ever want me to do is unhook her bra

Then all I really want is for her to go down low

Before you know it, she wet enough to get drowned slow

And all that deep shit I was previously down for

Replaced by freak shit I am currently down for

You see, I peeped it, pussy is power

That proud feelin' we get knowin' that pussy is ours

And how it feels to feel that feelin' you feelin' when you be drillin' that shit

Got her sayin' you be killin' that shit

And all the pain the world cause, she be healin' that shit

And naw, that ain't your girl, dog, but you be feelin' that chick

And you just wanna tell her everything she might need

But in the meantime, it's lights, please

[Chorus]

Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights

For now, everything just seems so right

And how you make the darkness seem so bright?

Feelin' like things gon' be alright

Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights

For now, everything just seems so right

And how you make the darkness seem so bright? (Yeah)

Feelin' like things gon' be alright, lights, please (Uh)

[Verse 2]

So now we in the hotel, mirrors on the ceiling

She say she wanna blow L's, I hear her and I'm willin'

But every time I smoke, well, a nigga mind gone

So that every word I spoke, well, I'm tryna put her on, but she couldn't hear me

I told her all about how we been livin' a lie

And that they love to see us all go to prison or die

Like, "Baby, look at how they show us on the TV screen"

But all she ever want me to do is unzip her jeans

Then all I really want is for her to get on top

Before you know it, she workin', jerkin' it nonstop

And all that next shit I was previously talkin'

Is now that wet shit that I'm currently lost in

And while that sweat drip, I am reminded

All the times my brother told me that pussy is blindin'

I'm findin' the more I grow, the more y'all seem to stay the same

Don't even know the rules, but yet y'all tryna play the game

And ain't it shameful how niggas blame hoes for givin' birth

To a baby that took two to make? Coward, nigga, you a fake

How you gon' look in your son's face and turn your back

Then go start another family, dog, what type of shit is that?

She said it's okay, rub my head, and told me to relax

Laid a nigga down proper like she was recordin' tracks

Said, "I know you wanna change the world, but for the night, please

Just reach over and hit the lights, please"

[Chorus]

Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights

For now, everything just seems so right

And how you make the darkness seem so bright?

Feelin' like things gon' be alright

Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights

For now, everything just seems so right

And how you make the darkness seem so bright?

Feelin' like things gon' be alright

[Post-Chorus]

Lights, please, uh, uh, uh

Lights, please, uh, uh, uh

Lights, please, uh, uh, uh

Lights please, turn off the lights

Lights, please

[Outro]

Yeah

That's it

[Segue]

Alright, if y'all niggas heard the first one, The Come Up and shit

Then you would have heard part one of this joint right here, it's "Dead Presidents," you know, classic, nigga

That's classic Jay shit

So I did it, threw it on the first mixtape, we let niggas, this was about a year ago

We let niggas hear like, you know, the mixtape or whatever

And there was always this one nigga that stuck out to me like a year ago, this nigga's like, "Yo"

Like I thought I did my thing on the shit, that was like two of my favorite verses that I did

But he was just like, "Yo," like, "Yo, you didn't come right, man

If you gon' come on 'Dead Presidents,' son, you gotta come hard, son

You gotta come harder than that, son

You gotta come harder than that"

I was like, man, what you mean, I came hard?

But that shit always stuck in my mind

So doin' this next, you know, doin' the The Warm Up, I was like, damn, I gotta get on it again, I gotta do it again

Just, almost like, just to prove to that nigga and kinda prove to myself that you know, I can

I can maybe get a little better, you know, hopefully, I, I did my thing
