King Gordy - No Lights lyrics
[King Gordy - No Lights lyrics]
How y'all doin ladies and gentlemen?
My name is King Berry Gordy
And i have a story for y'all
You know somebody that went through it
I don't care where you from
East, West, midwest, South, please, listen
Momma why we ain't got no lights?
Why you and auntie fight over a pipe?
Why all these roaches at night?
Why my uncle always come and
Steal every thing in sight?
Why different guys pick up my sister
Every day of her life?
Why my brother and his homies
Always blazing that indo?
Why they sellin crack and blowin
Up your basement window?
Momma why you send me to
School ugly and never clean?
I'm gettin teased cause my
Clothes smell like kerosene
I see my breath in my own house
I notice the eviction notice on the door so
I guess we finna get thrown out
Momma please
Pay the rent when your next check come
She can barely spit out a word
Cause her mouth is so numb
And big brother I can't believe you
You ridin in cars with these two
And you know we need food
You sellin 'cane outta here
Drunk felons hang out in here
You ain't hearing things loud and clear
Is you? You know momma can't take care of us
Face it nigga, you our parents, bro
Cause all our sister wanna do is
Do her hair and fuck
She's the neighborhood rat
All the homies hit it
All the hood niggas hit it
Started yellin at the trick
Me and her don't even hit it
Her conversation strictly money and niggas
So she just be senseless
Never though a nigga life would
Ever be this bold
I shouldn't even be seeing this shit, B
Just ten years old
Momma why we ain't got no lights?
Why you and auntie fight over a pipe?
Why all these roaches at night?
Why my uncle always come and
Steal every thing in sight?
Why different guys pick up my sister
Every day of her life?
Why my brother and his homies
Always blazing that indo?
Why they sellin crack and blowin
Up your basement window?
Momma why you send me to
School dirty and never clean?
I'm gettin teased cause my
Clothes smell like kerosene
My brother's locked up now a
Nigga really out here
Going to school mad as hell cause
I ain't got no gear man, I'm fed up
Don't even know the last time I had a haircut
G, is you feelin me? But
I'm gettin suspended
Cause, I'm always gettin defensive
Feelin offended
Swinging on classmates in an instant
Often walking home crying cause
My pride is dead
So much pain in society gone
Take time to heal it
On my way home from school
Prayin to lord almighty
That when I get there no one's
Gon be fittin to be fightin
We'll just leave that shit alone
And maybe we'll be alright
But, I'll never be ok
Cause seen too much drugs and violence
I see my auntie and here
Husband move they stuff in my mommy
What happened to her friend's checks that
She does her drugs wit
And when her cash is all gone
And her credit is out
My uncle leave and take all
His stuff out the house
Momma why we ain't got no lights?
Why you and auntie fight over a pipe?
Why all these roaches at night?
Why my uncle always come and
Steal every thing in sight?
Why different guys pick up my sister
Every day of her life?
Why my brother and his homies
Always blazing that indo?
Why they sellin crack and blowin
Up your basement window?
Momma why you send me to
School dirty and never clean?
I'm gettin teased cause my
Clothes smell like kerosene
My sisters pregnant with her third
Baby in three years
I'm 13, my mom's still a dope fiend
My brother's outta the pen
Saying he'll stay clean
No weed or dope sellin
Gettin a job wit no felon
Two days later when I see him
This shit was so funny
Watch him half kill a friend cause
The bitch owe him money
My momma and auntie takin
Blows in the kitchen
Beefin over a piece of a
Nickel that came up missin
My uncle all in my brother room
Grabbin all his stuff
Uncle when you come home
You know he fuckin you up
But what really fucked up
My sister got me babysitting
I acting like I don't know the
Bitch like she's just some trick
My brother got caught in the crackhouse
They gave him five keep lockin him up lord
Just don't take his life
In the end you thought I'd be
Some thing but I'm not
I'm 18 years old, sellin my momma rocks
My name is King Berry Gordy
And i have a story for y'all
You know somebody that went through it
I don't care where you from
East, West, midwest, South, please, listen
Momma why we ain't got no lights?
