1982 - Lights Down lyrics

rate me

Statik Selektah & Termanology

I’ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

Get it right now, get it, get it right now

I’ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

Damn right I’m from a city you ain’t never heard about

Wasn’t making noise then but I’m making noise now

Making dope shit, what I’m all about

I’m …93, fans like my shit loud

And I made my mama proud, turn the tv on wow

She just clicking through the channels while she’s sitting on the couch

… is, it’s time to celebrate now

You can tell the bartender we gonn need another round, it’s going down

In and out of labels all the time, had to change all my ideas,

Had to switch on my designs

Went from being major to the independent grind

When you come to think about it, man I’m just fine

Cause I’m that youtube and I’m on that iPod

And that girl up in the front row screaming my god

…my fans and all of my squad

You can call me what you want, call me an icon

I’ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

Get it right now, get it, get it right now

I’ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

Took a ride to NY, had a lot of time to think

5 people got stabbed, 2 murdered this week

In my hood, in my city, only 6 miles wide

Hurricane full of tears, filling buckets outside

Mama going in the shop, while she watch her son die

Police say another unsolved homicide

Damn kid, what a shame, when I think about the youth

Used to think about a play

Now I think about the booth

Just had another daughter, so now that makes 2

Gotta teach them be smart, do it thug’s point of view

Gotta teach them bout respect, gotta teach them bout the rules

I ain’t talking on the neck but I gotta give them jewels

Looking back on my life, … half way

I could say I was a leader, had a lot of shit to say

… my inner demons, tryna make my plan straight

I just hold another jay and let the thoughts fade away

I’ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

Get it right now, get it, get it right now

I’ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right

If you ain’t had enough, you gonn get it right.
