[Chorus]

Yeah turn the lights out, lemme think for a minute

Nah lemme think for a minute

Yeah turn the lights out, lemme think for a minute

For a minute or two

[Verse 1]

My body telling me I need to get some sleep

My mind telling me I need to make a beat

Cause I can't write unless I have what I need

And I think need perfection in my quips and my queen

But I won't have that until I'm clean

And that might be after IUB

Sometimes I wonder if I'll marry someone I've already seen

My sins are telling me that I don’t have the right to dream

But I let the record keep on spinning just to ease the pain

Sharing my catharsis with someone who feels the same

I need to write an essay on the fact that I love music

So I guess I gotta word-vomit and hope that God'll use it

But it has to be flawless, no can't have mistakes

When I get in that mindset, I can't even erase

Cause I never start, I'm too scared I'll do it wrong

This is me with every lyric, every beat, every song

My rhymes are redundant, you knew that was coming next

But I was gonna be an engineer, so what did you expect?

A vast vocabulary from a mathematician?

I said abra-kadabra today, but I'm not a magician

But I've had friends disappear pretty recently

But maybe I left, I wonder what they think of me

Shouldn't care, but I do, guess that's how it is

Gotta learn to get over it to get in the biz

Got so many lyrics on my phone, don't wanna waste'em

Should prolly write'em down cause I have erased some

That I wanted to keep to repeat when I'm feeling like

Reliving those memories so I don't have to see the light

It's dark outside, and everybody's looking in

They can see me now, but can't see where I been

I'm sure that some people think that all I do is win

But I I feel like, I feel like all I do is sin

But I'm supposed to be Narrowgate, yeah, what a name

I can't even live up to my title, man, what a pain

I would say I'm a player, but don't I don't have a game

They wouldn't call me a player cause I've never had a dame

Not that I don't think about it, not that I don't contemplate

Cause I could list some people who always used to confiscate

Half of my thoughts, throughout lots of the day

Checking Twitter, watching buses, and I know it ain't okay

I got so much ahead of me that I can't even see

So I'm touching a mirror to find out who I'm supposed to be

Am I supposed to be Ian or Drew, and be low key?

Preston, Isaac, Marcus, Alex, or maybe just me?

That was forty-four, but I'm going to forty-eight (yeah)

Got too much on my plate

But I can still look out the window and tell all of you to wait

Cause I know I'll be great

[Chorus]

Yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

Let me think for a minute

Yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

For a minute or two

No turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

Nah I said think for a minute, no

Turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

A minute or two

[Verse 2]

So by the time this comes out, I'll be in college (yikes)

I hope I'm doing alright

People tell me that I'm gonna have to put up a fight

If I don't want to get dragged into the heat of the night

They say I can make it, yeah, but I don't know

My parents tryna do their best but I won't let them help me grow

I got some friends that care but I don't think that I can let them know

That I'm addicted to and I just can't seem to let it go

I'm sorry if you looked up to me and I let you down

I'm sorry that I don't got this beat by now

Honestly it feels like I'm looking up at the ground

Honestly this is why I was ready to leave town

So if you wanna jump ship after hearing the truth

I get it, it's the reason I didn't pursue

Some relationships that I thought might have gone far

So I'm sorry, bunches, if I ever broke your heart, no

They say that I'm cool, I'd rather be hot, almost forgot

What it's like to live on the Rock, and be a man of God

Even though I hate that phrase, cause the guy who receives that praise

Has a belly, facial hair, loves the Dawgs and the Braves

And that's not bad, just seems easy to achieve

It seems lukewarm, and I don't want that to be me

Though conversely, I'm scared that if I go all in

I'll lose my edge, and we can't have that

So I stay here, losing myself more each day

And now it's at a point that it's a role that I play

I tell people I follow Christ, that I been saved

But I can't seem to get myself off the Broadway

I know enough to be dangerous, I'm born to be famous, it's

Something I haven't been taking seriously, but seriously

I'm worried that, I'll never make it back

And my name will end up on a stone and not a plaque

It shows you my priorities, to whom should all the glory be?

I used to know the right response, but somehow it got lost

Just like the rest of me, and now I'm about to rest in peace

But maybe not cause even the thought of death is stressing me

Yeah, no, so I need to breathe

I need to remember that it's not all on me

I just need to put in the work and do my part (yeah)

And then I'll be free

[Chorus]

Yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

Let me think for a minute

Yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

For a minute or two

No turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

Nah I said think for a minute, no

Turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

A minute or two

So turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

Yeah let me think for a minute (no)

Turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

For a minute or two

Yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute

Yeah let me think for a minute, no

Turn the lights out, let me think for a minute or two

Minute or two
