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 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

Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights
For now, everything just seems so right
And how you make the darkness seem so bright?
I'm 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?
I'm feelin' like things gon' be alright, lights, please

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"

Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights
For now, everything just seems so right
And how you make the darkness seem so bright?
I'm 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?
I'm feelin' like things gon' be alright

Lights, please, uh, uh-uh
Lights, please, uh, uh-uh
Lights, please, uh, uh-uh
Lights please, uh, turn off the lights
Lights, please Writer/s: Jermaine L. Cole
