J. Cole - Lights Please lyrics

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 fo'
Replaced by freak shit I
Am currently down fo'


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 feeling 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 feeling like things gon' be alright

So now we in the hotel
Mirrors on the ceilin'
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 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 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 feeling 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 feeling like things gon' be alright
Lights please, ah ah ah
Lights please, ah ah ah
Lights please, ah ah ah
Lights please, turn off the lights
Lights, please

Alright, if y'all niggas heard the first
One, The Come Up and shit
Then you would have heard part
1 of this joint right
Here it's "Dead Presidents", you
Know classic nigga, that's classic Jay shit
So I did it, threw it on the first mixtape
This is about a year ago
We let niggas hear like you
Know the mixtape whatever
And there was always this
One nigga that stuck
Out to me like a year ago
This nigga's like "yo" like I thought
I did my thing on this
Shit, that was like two of my
Favorite verses that I did
But he was just like "Yo", like
"Yo you didn't come right man if
You gon' come on Dead Presidents son
You gotta come, hard son
You gotta come harder than that son
You gotta come harder than that"
I was like, man what you
Mean I came hard? But, that
Shit always stuck in my mind
So doing this next, you
Know, doing this The Warm Up
I was like, damn, i gotta get on it
Again, I gotta do it again just almost like
Just to prove to
That nigga and kinda prove to
Myself that you I can
I can maybe get a little
