[00:01.00]
[00:01.63]And you can get buried,
[00:03.60]Suck my back bitch.
[00:05.57]
[00:13.00]You got your name and lights,
[00:15.52]And they can't seem to spell mine right,
[00:18.14]You saw the melted day to day,
[00:20.77]I'm lucky if I get paid.
[00:22.19]If I can't get paid,
[00:24.16]I'd survive another day.
[00:28.54]Maybe if I could get laid,
[00:32.58]They'd know my name.
[00:34.01]Your girls are fine it seems,
[00:36.30]A dime or two in every dozen.
[00:39.25]I only wanted one,
[00:41.66]But I'm no one so I get nothing,
[00:44.84]But all this nothing I've got,
[00:47.35]Is all that's keepin' me tough.
[00:49.86]Maybe this nothing I've got is enough,
[00:52.71]When I'm alone and the lights go off,
[00:58.90]I'm never sure if I can make it that far,
[01:04.37]All that I no-----
[01:06.12]I want those,
[01:07.21]I want those,
[01:08.64]I want those flashing lights,
[01:11.15]I want those,
[01:12.68]I want those,
[01:14.21]I want those flashing lights.
[01:15.09]
[01:26.79]Pharmaceuticals brought me charm like the jeweler Jews.
[01:29.74]Squares of ice shed light like the rubrics cube.
[01:32.48]I get it mixed up,
[01:33.68]Red with the blues.
[01:34.78]Now she all mixed up,
[01:36.09]Admiring the hues.
[01:37.18]Four years later,
[01:38.49]Niggas admirin' the shoes.
[01:39.59]------------------,
[01:41.29]We call you Tokyo buffoon.
[01:42.50]You style-less admirers,
[01:44.25]Look at how you room,
[01:45.23]Keep runnin' the soho's and exclusives in my room.
[01:47.75]Niggas is fighters?,
[01:48.95]We let you slide with your writin's.
[01:50.37]We knew that coldcane? talk was not like you.
[01:53.00]----------------------- tryin' to dress like them.
[01:55.73]One sequence? glove can never make you Michael.
[01:58.25]I moon walk over tracks that make niggas frightful.
[02:00.98]But never hear a word 'cause they niggas know,
[02:03.39]That my floor so viper?,
[02:05.03]Any push it go psycho,
[02:06.34]They seance that pen and pull your spirit up out you.
[02:08.76]I'm so literary with it,
[02:08.85]
[02:10.84]You can tell how I write.
[02:11.71]The boy's such an author,
[02:12.91]I just smoke a pipe.
[02:14.23]Rockin' the ascot?,
[02:15.43]Cool with the glass top,
[02:16.74]Seventeen-inch rims,
[02:18.05]Makin' the ass drop.
[02:19.47]I was in the spot,
[02:20.90]From the first to the fifth.
[02:22.10]With a mean comeback like the Return of the Sith.
[02:24.72]Like ridin' a bike,
[02:26.04]Never you forget,
[02:27.35]Still I got it for cheap,
[02:28.55]Whether you smoke or you sniff.
[02:29.97]The ---------- and vice versa.
[02:32.49]To remove me off that horse takes more than a merger.
[02:35.34]During that hiatus,
[02:36.87]I was with the natives.
[02:37.96]And back to the States,
[02:39.39]Pass along the savings.
[02:40.69]Put it in the street,
[02:42.01]Caterin' to cravings.
[02:43.65]Like the Second Coming,
[02:45.07]I got the fans awaitin'.
[02:46.38]Victory is swet,
[02:47.80]Even amongst the hatin'.
[02:49.12]Find me on that beach island,
[02:50.54]Up the Caymans.
[02:51.12]
[02:51.30]Gone.
[02:51.66]As you recall, you know I love to show off.
[02:55.17]But you never thought that I would take it this far.
[03:00.20]What do you know? (Flashing, lights, lights, lights.)
[03:06.54]What do you know? (Flashing, lights, lights, lights.)
[03:10.17]

[03:12.23]
[03:12.91]She don't believe in shootin' stars,
[03:15.53]But she believe in shoes and cars.
[03:18.05]Wood floors in the new apartment,
[03:20.67]Coutours from the store's departments.
[03:23.40]You more like to love to start shit.
[03:26.14]I'm more of the, trips to Florida,
[03:28.98]Order the hor douerves, views of the water.
[03:31.06]Straight from a page of your favorite author.
[03:33.69]And the weather's so breezy,
[03:36.64]Man, why can't life always be this easy.
[03:39.16]She in the mirror dancin' so sleazy.
[03:42.00]I get a call like "Where are you ----?"
[03:44.77]I try to hit you with the --------.
[03:47.18]'Till I got flashed by the papparazzi.
[03:50.57]Damn, these niggas got me.
[03:52.64]I hate these niggas more than the Nazi's.
[03:53.63]
[03:54.18]As you recall, you know I love to show off.
[03:58.88]But I never thought that you would take it this far.
[04:04.02]What do I know? (Flashing, lights, lights, lights.)
[04:10.15]What do I know? (Flashing, lights, lights, lights.)
[04:13.54]No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.
[04:14.30]
[04:14.85]
[04:16.82]Uh, a fresh cool young Lu',
[04:18.79]Tryin' to cash? his microphone, check two one two.
[04:20.87]Wanna believe my own hype, but it's too untrue.
[04:23.60]The world brought me to my knees, what have you brung you?
[04:25.90]Did you improve on a design, did you do something new?
[04:28.63]Well your name ain't on the guest list, who brung you?
[04:31.04]You, the more famous person, you come through.
[04:33.66]And the sexy lady next to you, you come, too.
[04:36.55]And then the hitman, standing outside,
[04:38.52]And have been waitin' for God to come and get me.
[04:40.38]I'm too uncool,
[04:41.69]Unschooled to the rules and too gumshoe.
[04:43.12]Too much of a newcomer and too uncool.
[04:46.61]Like Shadow and the Veil,
[04:47.92]A-------- with it well,
[04:49.13]I need a holiday like lady who sung ----.
[04:51.59]Go back, whatever you did, you undo.
[04:54.22]Heavy is heaven, the devil on me two tons, too.
[04:56.74]{Matthew Santos]
[04:57.24]If you are what you say you are,
[05:00.41]A superstar,
[05:04.58]Then have no fear, the camera's here.
[05:07.75]And the microphones, and they wanna know.
[05:15.82]Yeah.
[05:16.47]
[05:17.13]And you better wear your shades,
[05:18.77]The spotlights here can burn holes in the stage.
[05:21.18]Down through the basement past the Indian graves where the dinosaurs lay,
[05:25.01]And out through China, nearly miss the airliners,
[05:27.21]And magnify times five -----and richochets off the moon and sets the forest ablaze.
[05:34.21]And that's important to say, cause even with all that, most of us don't want it to fade.
[05:39.02]We want it to breed, meanin' we want it to grow,
[05:41.21]Meanin' we want it to stay.
[05:42.52]Like the governor call, and we told him to wait.
[05:45.04]Unstrap him from the chair and put him back in his cage.
[05:48.21]All the --- fade and they ain't gonna clap, and they ain't gonna praise.
[05:52.47]They want everything back that they paid.
[05:55.10]And they been waitin' since ten to see the lights get...
[05:58.08]
[06:04.86]
[06:06.28]
[06:12.34]
[06:12.78]I'm like the Russian mafia, drinkin' the still vodka.
[06:15.08]'Till I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's real.
[06:17.15]---------------- like the toupe,
[06:20.22]Mixed with water, with the soda, turn the pot up make a souffle.
[06:23.50]And all of y'all can get it like a -----------.
[06:27.76]I'm livin' proof that crime do pay,
[06:28.53]Say hooray to the bad guy and all the broads,
[06:30.83]Puttin' cars in their name, for the stars of the game.
[06:33.45]Puttin' 'caine in they bras and their tomorrows on the train.
[06:36.18]All in the name of love,
[06:38.26]Just to see that love ----- and change,
[06:40.67]Then the family came over to the house to take back everything they claim.
[06:44.06]Well even the worst pain is the distress,
[06:46.80]Learnin' your the mistress,
[06:48.66]And only after that love gets slain,
[06:49.53]And the anger and the sorrow mix up, with the mistrust,
[06:52.04]And now it gets tough to ever love again.
[06:54.02]
[06:54.56]
[07:06.05]Only believe in shows and cars,
[07:08.01]Wear more of the --- the latter is tired.

[08:51.54]Get off and swear to God that they'd never going to do shit again.
[08:54.17]What you did, is had us pray for you and root for you.
[08:57.78]Minorities, the truth never worries us.

[10:00.45]You give them some cameras, I bet they can't handle,
[10:02.97]The flashing lights of the industry of damage."
[10:05.81]Any one man unprepared for the challenge,
