Paul White - Street Lights Lyrics
[Hook]I’m livin’ where I know it ain’t rightIn the city of no streetlightsAnd when you can’t see but to fightLost in the city of no street lightsSo dim up ahead, blind in the city of no streetlightsThat’s why we trapped in the darkSpark in a city of no streetlights[Verse 1].5 rolled up in the SwisherHow many *****es wanna ***** this nigga?Danny Brown the Hybrid, old toothless-ass niggaBut the *****es *****in’ with him ‘cause they know he got charismaRide down Glenwood, brights on the headlightsCan’t see shit ‘cause there ain’t no *****in’ street lightsHook, roll, pass – but they can’t flick, thoughSo *****in’ dark, scary, might have pistolsDump on ‘em, disappear, nowhere to be foundOn the news, cops killed on the Westside of townIt’s a war going on when the sun goes downSo in the battlefield keep your hard hat on‘Cause out there are savages, aiming at your cabbagesDunk in the wheelchairs, be considered radishesMama told me be home ‘fore the streetlights onBut nowadays they don’t work, so the kid’s never homeAnd I’m gone…[Hook][Verse 2]Like the sign that say beer and wineGas station niggas get slumped pumping on 9I’m trapped in the dark, how the ***** am I supposed to shine?But it’s got to come to light, so I’m for sure gon’ get mineGot a heart full of grind, mind full of hustleThey tried to keep the secret, but now it’s out in the publicThese other rappers jealous, don’t respond to BBMsI’m too busy doing drugs, shining harder than themThey wanna throw shade, stupid shit playedSmart nigga answer questions, there ain’t no nick, make the gradeMy younger days, used to be a rascal, arcadeCaught the bus downtown before night was today‘Cause I knew a nigga might try to try me for my JordansNo holdin’ nothin’, nigga, just focus on importanceMama told me be home ‘fore the streetlights onBut nowadays they don’t work, so the kid’s never homeAnd I’m gone…
