Don't turn out the light
Don't turn out the light
Don't turn out...
Don't turn out the light, yeah
Behind the scenes you can see it all black
She doesn't really think you mean all that
It's all a tree, plant a seed and fall back
It's all a dream B-I-G up on the wax
R.I.P. you know I'm screaming all caps
Even you could fall flat
And never find your way back, now
Can't take nothing for granted all facts
But if I don't do nothing then I'll stack
Laying low up in the city on the north side
Getting traffic like I'm sitting on the 405
Roaring 20's when the Hodge is getting glorified
You on the shorter side, I'm sort of like I'm Mordecai
You talking ICE, but that's what I'm deported by
Detained where my mama born, storming on the borderline
I'm closed off, don't talk to me
No light, keep it off of me
Only thing I need more is time wasted
Different year I'm glad I'm in a different place
Even though time go by, keep it real I'ma still be me
But I know how these things change
To keep it real, I been through situations
Long road to go, but I'ma chase it
Run it up, don't give a damn if they feel a way
I do this shit for my niggas, I know they feel the same
Know it's only the fam around me
On the interstate caught with 16 pounds
Give a f*ck what they saying about me
Name a time when they said I wasn't eating
Can't name a time when they ask me how it be
But that's okay, 'cause I get paper on some G shit
Stack my money and count it and roll my weed
I be feeling like that's all I really need
Looking back it's not as dark as it was
But all the dirt that they threw, it drew a line in the mud
And I ain't really give a f*ck who wasn't vibing with us
'Cause you could call me Neosporin how I slide in the cut
Pain temporary, it nary lasted
Brain visionary, it's very NASA
Change isn't scary, it's scary stagnant
And I'd rather be buried than carried backwards
Been on a tear since the pterodactyl
Her hair is natural
All my prayers been actual
God blessed me with a player vernacular
So you know the vocab is lit
Can't expose it or cancel it
Black Golf jeans, plus I'm on the green
Had to add a little sauce like a pot of beans
Everything ain't gold cause it got a gleam
And everybody ain't woke cause they got a dream
Only thing I need more is time wasted
Different year I'm glad I'm in a different place
Even though time go by, keep it real I'ma still be me
But I know how these things change
To keep it real, I been through situations
Long road to go, but I'ma chase it
Run it up, don't give a damn if they feel a way
I do this shit for my niggas, I know they feel the same
Know it's only the fam around me
On the interstate caught with 16 pounds
Give a f*ck what they saying about me
Name a time when they said I wasn't eating
Can't name a time when they ask me how it be
But that's okay, 'cause I get paper on some G shit
Stack my money and count it and roll my weed
I be feeling like that's all I really need
I can't make any promises but
I don't want to see right through me
You say you don't know what it means
How you feel
You would say I ain't the same
But I can't remember when I changed
You better use something in your brain
God I hate it when you're playing those games
You don't even remember my name
You don't even want to say my name
You taking this to the extreme
I don't even want to see you in my dreams
I don't want to see you
In my dreams again
Hm
How can you sleep in the moonlight
When you know all the things that I said
You made me harden my mind and soul
Forced me to be someone I sold
When the sky falls in again
Know I can't do this on my own
I don't even want to see you in my dreams
