Lights Down

Statik Selektah, reaching independence
Then it goes a little something like this

I'ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now
Get it right now, get it right now
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now

Get it, get it like now, get it like now
Turn the, turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now

Hey, I'm ridin' from a city you ain't never heard about
Wasn't makin' noise then, but I'm makin' noise now
Makin' dope shit, what I'm all about
I'm Wu-Tang in '93, fans like my shit loud

And I make my momma proud, turn the TV on wild
She just clickin' through the channels while she sittin' on the couch
There I is, it's, it's, it's time to celebrate now
You can tell the bartender we gon' need another brass goin' down

In and out of labels all the time
Had to change up my ideas, had to switch up my design
Went from dreams of bein' major to the independent grind
When you come to think about it, man, I'm doin' just fine

'Cause I'm on that YouTube and I'm on that iPod
Or that girl up in the front row, screamin', "My God!"
Bigger to my fans and all of my squad
You can call me what you want, just call me your icon

I'm gone, turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now
Get it right now, get it right now
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now

Get it, get it like now, get it like now
Turn the, turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now

Took a ride to NY, had a lot of time to think
Five people got stabbed, two murdered this week
In my hood, in my city, only six miles wide
Hurricane full of tears, fillin' buckets outside

Mama goin' in the shot as 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 boot

Just had another daughter, so now that makes two
Gotta teach 'em to be smart through a thug's point of view
Gotta teach 'em about respect, gotta teach 'em about the rules
I ain't talkin' on they neck, but I gotta give 'em jewels

Lookin' back on my life, though I'm less than halfway
I could say I was a leader, had a lot of shit to say
On them nights writing to demons, tryna make the plan straight
I just rolled another J and let them thoughts fade away

I'ma turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now
Get it right now, get it right now
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now

Get it like now, get it like now
Turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now
If you ain't had enough, you gon' get it right now

Rich in friends
And rich with the greatness of ideas and talent
Without end
Yes he was
