[Intro]
~#**************#~
Uh
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Yeah, uh
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
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 aint 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 weve 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 for
~#**************#~
Replaced by freak shit I am currently down for
~#**************#~
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 aint your girl, dog, but you be feelin that chick
~#**************#~
And you just wanna tell her everything she might need
~#**************#~
But in the meantime, its lights, please
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights
~#**************#~
For now, everything just seems so right
~#**************#~
And how you make the darkness seem so bright?
~#**************#~
Feelin 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? (Yeah)
~#**************#~
Feelin like things gon be alright, lights, please (Uh)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
So now we in the hotel, mirrors on the ceiling
~#**************#~
She say she wanna blow Ls, I hear her and Im willin
~#**************#~
But every time I smoke, well, a nigga mind gone
~#**************#~
So that every word I spoke, well, Im tryna put her on, but she couldnt 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 Im currently lost in
~#**************#~
And while that sweat drip, I am reminded
~#**************#~
All the times my brother told me that pussy is blindin
~#**************#~
Im findin the more I grow, the more yall seem to stay the same
~#**************#~
Dont even know the rules, but yet yall tryna play the game
~#**************#~
And aint it shameful how niggas blame hoes for givin birth
~#**************#~
To a baby that took two to make? Coward, nigga, you a fake
~#**************#~
How you gon look in your sons face and turn your back
~#**************#~
Then go start another family, dog, what type of shit is that?
~#**************#~
She said its 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”
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Lights, please, lights, please, turn off the lights
~#**************#~
For now, everything just seems so right
~#**************#~
And how you make the darkness seem so bright?
~#**************#~
Feelin 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?
~#**************#~
Feelin like things gon be alright
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Lights, please, uh, uh, uh
~#**************#~
Lights, please, uh, uh, uh
~#**************#~
Lights, please, uh, uh, uh
~#**************#~
Lights please, turn off the lights
~#**************#~
Lights, please
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Yeah
~#**************#~
Thats it
~#**************#~
[Segue]
~#**************#~
Alright, if yall niggas heard the first one, The Come Up and shit
~#**************#~
Then you would have heard part one of this joint right here, its “Dead Presidents,” you know, classic, nigga
~#**************#~
Thats classic Jay shit
~#**************#~
So I did it, threw it on the first mixtape, we let niggas, this was about a year ago
~#**************#~
We let niggas hear like, you know, the mixtape or whatever
~#**************#~
And there was always this one nigga that stuck out to me like a year ago, this niggas like, “Yo”
~#**************#~
Like I thought I did my thing on the shit, that was like two of my favorite verses that I did
~#**************#~
But he was just like, “Yo,” like, “Yo, you didnt 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 doin this next, you know, doin the 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 know, I can
~#**************#~
I can maybe get a little better, you know, hopefully, I, I did my thing
