extra bright

Turn up the lights in here baby, extra bright, I want y'all to see this,
turn up the lights in here baby, you know what I need, 
want you to see everything, want you to see all of the lights.
Fast cars, shooting stars, all of the lights,
until it's vegas everywhere we are, all of the lights.
If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life.

Something's wrong, I hold my head,
MJ's gone, our nigg* dead!
I slapped my girl, she called the feds,
I did that time and spent that bread.
I'm heading home, I'm almost there,
I'm on my way, heading up the stairs.
To my surprise, a nigg* replaceing me,
I had to take him to that ghetto university
Restraining order, can't see my daughter. 
Her mother, brother, grandmother hate me in that order.
Public visitation, we met at Borders,
told her she take me back, I'll be more supportive. 
I made mistakes, I bump my head, 
courts suck me dry, I spent that bread. She need a daddy,
baby please, can't let her grow up in that ghetto university,

cop lights, flash lights, spot lights,
strobe lights, street lights,
fast life, drug life, thug life, rock life 
every night,

Getting mine, baby, gotta let these n*ggas know, yeah.
Get it right, ay, you should go and get your own.

Unemployment line, credit card declined, 
did I not mention I was about to lose my mind? 
And also was about to do that line,
okay, okay, you know we going all the way this time,
we going all the way this time.

Turn up the lights in New York, baby, extra bright, I want y'all to see this.
turn up the lights in New York, baby, you know what I need, 
want you to see everything, want you to see all of the lights.

I tried to tell you but all I could say is ohhhh,
I tried to tell you but all I could say is ohhhh, 
I tried to tell you but all I could say is ohhhh.

Sometimes I like reading lyrics more than I like listening to actual songs. My horoscopes have been weirdly accurate lately, and I keep having a variation of basically the same dream. I promise I'll post something real later today, I promise :)
Love, 
Loch.
