Turn the lights out
I think about my day and the mistakes I've made (turn the lights out)
I try to find another way to say what I couldn't say
Another hour man, the outcome: money, power, respect
All that perhaps, and a whole lot of debt
But we gotta rap like town whores, too sure
With more restored than a flea market
These artists yappin' about rappin' like, cash in
And hard to say shit, we drunk off life
Rewrite wasted, toxic sonnets, conscious, honest, constant 'pon this
No flows 'bout hoes though, I love my share
Suppose when they grow, we'll meet up somewhere
That's how life goes and it's so not fair
I'll say it in a song, it belongs in there
Like wrongs we share, so be strong I'm only fair
Life's the market square, tries to tackle you
Strive to be free like nothin' shy for you
Well I drop these words, hope you catch a few
(Turn the lights out)
I think about my day and the mistakes I've made (turn the lights out)
I try to find another way to say what I couldn't say (turn the lights out)

I try to find another way to say what I couldn't say (turn the lights out)
I talk, people listen, like I'm christian and rich
But I'm christian and broke
On the mission for hope, wishin' to grope
A smidge in the cloat
My eyes and third eyes, try till I die
Some guys dress fly, 'cause sky's the limit
They disguise an image but I don't mind the gimmicks
Your mind the business, well mind these minutes
'Cause time is precious, like diamonds, innit?
Applying pressure, in each rhyme the cynics
Send it through Fed Ex, to cynics they stay stressed
And critics that say less, the music they bash
From the womb to the tomb to the stick up your ass
Well give it a last breath and then some
Regardless of income, all that and then some
Might pen something else when I pen something else
Think outside the box, some stay on the shelf
(Turn the lights out)
I think about my day and the mistakes I've made (turn the lights out)
I try to find another way to say what I couldn't say (turn the lights out)
I think about my day and the mistakes I've made (turn the lights out)
I try to find another way to say what I couldn't say (turn the lights out)
I turn the lights out, and think about
The immense amount of clowning around going down
He who balls out must thow and bounce
Furrowed brows seek ice cold, low and browse
All the world's a sale, go ahead, go and browse
Who's handling yo' accounts?
My kick is all sacred cows
Naked style, transparent
Employers want crackers as much as parrots
Princesses got no pants, Musa didn't have no parents
They can't get bearings, they're bearin' in Paris then they're disappearing
So that be interfering or was it not necess' appearing?
