Lights Please Songtext
von J. Cole

Oh, oh, oh, oh (yeah)

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 nah, 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

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 (lights please)

So now we in the hotel, mirrors on the ceilin'
She say she wanna blow Ls, I hear her and I′m willin'
But everytime I smoke well a nigga mind gone
So that every word I spoke well I'm tryin′ to put her on
But she couldn′t hear me

I told her all about how we been livin' a lie
And that they′d 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 non stop
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 tryin' to 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 gon′ look in your sons face and turn your back
Then go start another family dog, what type of shit is that?

She said it's okay
Rubbed 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

Lights please, lights please
Turn off the lights
For now everything just seems so right
And how you make 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 darkness seem so bright
Feelin' like things gon′ be alright
Lights please

Uh, uh uh
Lights please
Uh, uh uh
Lights please
Uh, uh uh
Lights please
Turn off the lights
Lights please

Oh, oh, oh
