[MF DOOM, Kool Keith, Atmosphere - When The Lights Go Out lyrics]

Do you remember that knife
You wouldn't part with?
You kept it sharp just to carve my
Fuckin' heart like a park bench
Well, I found it this morning
In a Southside bus stop
And I'm smiling for this mugshot

That's when I knew the plan
Was bound to fail
By the time you hear this song I'll be
Singing it from down at county jail
Still filled to the maximum
So fuck Bill Clinton with his saxophone

And cut, I'm trying to follow a lit fuse
I must have missed a day's
Allowance of fish food
Like who's tit do you think
That this is dude?
She ain't your bitch to misuse

And when there ain't nothing more to grab
I might give something back to
The floor of this cab i might tag my name on
The door of your building
Might even make a couple of your children

When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out (One, two)

Click is when he go in, we keeps it flowin'
Wrote this poem from a swollen
Place of deep knowin' winter showin'
We scared of the dark as night approaches
Until a time comes, some run like roaches

Stop, drop, pop a slug out the mag, tag
Thug it out, brag
Hold on to your bug out bag

Grab your girl, he might arouse her yowzers

What dreams may come
Some plot and scheme on the scene
He play dumb from the load out
True emissary who forever ready
Ask your secretary 'bout the melonberry

It's elementary, fedora or the ski hat
Drawers or dungaree slacks
Where you gonna be at? Don't repeat that
She ain't the type no doubt
If she wanna eat it's goin'
Right in her mouth

When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out
When all the lights go out
When the lights go out

Yeah, you know it's likeyou know
All this political stuff
You know what I'm saying? This gossip on
TV you know everybody tryna get they talk on
You know the rumors and all that, that's
Where they makeyou know
That's how they make
Their money you know, talkin' about things
But you
Knowwe a part of that you see what happen?
Money don't mean nothing, it really don't
Money don't mean a damn thing you
See what happened to Joan
Rivers? All that money for her
Face and skin andvain? You
Know what I'm saying? I might
Just walk up to one
Of these motherfuckin' super stars and
Pull their wig off
