ELZhi - Light One Write One lyrics
[ELZhi - Light One Write One lyrics]
I just fired one up, now I'm in the zone
Sometimes I write inside my head and leave
My pencil and my pen alone
My eyes got big when hearing
BIG did the same thing
Also, Shawn Carter 'cause they
Both became king now dare I say
That one day I'll be in
The conversation of who's great
Those who punch below their weight
Don't want a confrontation
Just blaze when the sets roll
I could be Halley's Comet in a vessel
If I wasn't
Would life be less stressful? I don't know
I think dead ends are new beginnings to grow
Like Five on the Black Hand Side
Taking pride in your 'fro
During Jim Crow, just let it Jim go
Did you catch it?
I hope it was caught by some
Kid whose parents got divorced
And they think it's their fault
Don't carry that with you as an adult
It could make you depressed
From your subconscious head, in the vault
Believe me, I know
And that ain't on the low-low
I put myself in this song
You don't picture me as strong
You got the wrong photo
I killed all my demons and
Lived to tell the tale
Where they dumping bodies in the Great
Lakes to sell the sale
Or leave you right where you stand for
Your Pelle Pelle and Starter coat
I saw how one could stab you in
The back could also part your throat
What a shame that people feel
They gotta go there
Then later find out they ain't going nowhere
I'm so rare when I jot it
That I've compared my lines to the ones
That you shave from a narcotic
And ain't nobody touching our product
Them other niggas good, but let's be real
My cup runneth over, they need fresh refills
They probably got 'em from fast food
Spots that make you obese in the hood
Are those the only places we can go feast?
If so, I wonder if it's more to it
Since every corner got a liquor
Store with crooked police
And swear you in a stolen car and
Not a car with no lease
And you got drugs inside a stash
Box along with your piece
Peace to Sandra Bland
Eric Garner and Kaepernick
What happened to all in the same gang?
"Self-Destruction" when popular rappers stick
Together for a cause
Now they doped up from their flaws
Excuse me while I pause to blow strains
Hundred dollar gram blunts
Them killers that made popo start up manhunts
Take a puff and jot it better than you can
Dunce
I'll be happy if I only touched a fan once
'cause
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is write
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one all I do is
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one
I was chiefin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if I go astray
You should play this loud while you twist a
Blunt or if you roll a J
This one here is for all my
West siders who 'dro sparkin'
All my niggas off that east
Side high like Joe Clark
Facing nightmares that really are
Dreams that grow dark
They take a left turn in alleyways where
You can smell the meth burn
I wonder who they bought it from and
Just how much the chef earn
To make a fiend out some teen
That look like Audrey Hepburn
Or Steve McQueen
I've seen 'em in a movie once
On a late night, was with this bad chick
We smoked about two-three blunts
Then I made her climax
Next week we hit the IMAX
But, I had to cut her off 'cause
She was out for my stacks
She wasn't in the gym with me
Nor did she drop a gem
Witty at the open mic in El's
Royce and Em city
I recall Paul telling all three of
Us in St andrew's Hall
We would carry Detroit on the small
Of our back then put it on the map
'Cause when I rap
I leave circular traces around
A clown so fast
It's a blur to their faces and stripped focus
I came out swinging like a
Pendulum assistin' in a hypnosis
On some "listen closely and do what I say"
Run and tell ten of your friends
To stream this album all year
And while they at it
Make sure they tell ten of they co-workers
So that they can do the same
Put the Dutch to the flame and blow strains
Hundred dollar gram blunts
Them killers that made popo start up manhunts
Take a puff and jot it better than you can
Dunce
I'll be happy if I only touched a fan once
'cause
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is write
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one all I do is
All I do is light one, write one
All I do is light one, write one
Yeah this some strong-ass shit here, man
Aw, shit
Man, turn this down for these motherfuckers
Tell 'em then start fuckin' with me
Man, I hope they don't drug test at my job
Dawg my motherfuckin' urine test gon'
Come back lookin'
Like Italian dressin' in that motherfucker
I'm sayin', shit
Sometimes I write inside my head and leave
My pencil and my pen alone
My eyes got big when hearing
BIG did the same thing
Also, Shawn Carter 'cause they
Both became king now dare I say
