Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Cut the Lights
- first off cut the lights, city dim, its 1:09
- walkin' through a warzone wit a crooked spine
- eyes behind my back like im readin' signs
- lil bro said he saw death in the dotted lines
- this block aint nothin' but chalk stains and prayer hands
- niggas play judge and jury wit a bare hand
- seen a pastor get clapped for his wristband
- crucifix caught the light as he hit land
- i was thirteen, mask on, hoodie black
- stomach empty, but my pockets hold a fully pack
- school lunch never fed me like the trap did
- used to rob bikes, now im robbin' for the backend
- store clerk screamed when we entered through the glass
- he ai’t know i only came for the bag
- but bro wilded out, shot him in the calf
- leave no witness, he said, now we runnin' through the past
- every step? flashbacks, every breath rewind
- my shadow movin' strange like its got a separate mind
- heard sirens hit the block, i aint blink twice
- sprinted through the alleyway, duckin' the streetlights
- my thoughts turn cold as december got
- ran through a shortcut body dropped where the fences rot
- a stray bullet hit him, thats my man, i aint even lie
- tryna scream but my soul got no alibi
- they caught me hours later in a trash lot
- gun to my dome like talk or get shell shocked
- i aint fold, but the look in my mamas eye
- said everything i was dead even bein' alive
- seventeen now, rap game my only exit
- pen like a switchblade, bars be dissectin'
- court date still hangin' like a necklace
- lawyer said im lucky, judge showed me some benevolence
- but karma she dance with a slow beat
- each line i write feels like blood in a nosebleed
- visualizers say speak truth, but it dont see
- that my truth got graves buried where the soul sleep
- i aint proud of the kid that i used to be
- but he still breathin' in bars, still usin' me
- these lines aint rap, they confessions
- tryna build heaven outta hell through sessions
- no lesson taught me better than that cold cell
- where the silence scream louder than a dope sale
- i met god in the flicker of a cop light
- he aint speak words just showed me my whole life
