Yeah, I had this little bad thing something like them tens

She gave a nigga mad brain, something 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 feeling we get knowin' that pussy is ours

And how it feels to feel that feeling

You feeling 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 seem so right

And how you make the darkness seem so bright

I'm feeling like things gon' be alright

So now we in the hotel, mirrors on the ceiling

She say she wanna blow Ls, 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 tryin to put her on

But she couldn't hear me

I told her all about how we been living 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 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 you gonna look in your son's face and turn your back

Then go start another family, dawg, 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 recording 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 seem so right

And how you make the darkness seem so bright

I'm feeling like things gon' be alright
