Xian Bell
The Lights
[Intro]
La, la, lights, camera, action
La, la, la, lights, camera action
La, la, lights, camera, action
La, la, la, lights, camera action
La, la, lights, camera, action
La, la, la, lights, camera action
La, la, lights, camera, action
La, la, la, lights, camera action
Uh, yeah

[Verse 1]
The first time I seen a banger
One from n***as that I hang with
Both from n***as with badges that was trained up to detain us
Pointin' it at yo faces, the kids, they tryna make us
Criminals, though that ain’t us
That's just a picture they painted
Prayin' I make it home to my mama instead of my maker
Hope my family never catch me on a t-shirt or on paper
Where they treat us, bet it change up
If a n***a get his change up
I bet that it be different if I’m famous
I'm chasin' the lights

[Chorus]
La, la, lights, camera, action (Uh, yeah)
La, la, la, lights, camera action (I'm still lookin' for the lights)
La, la, lights, camera, action (The lights)
La, la, la, lights, camera action (I'm chasin' the lights)
La, la, lights, camera, action (Yeah)
La, la, la, lights, camera action (Uh, I'm still lookin’ for the lights)
La, la, lights, camera, action (The lights)
La, la, la, lights, camera action
[Verse 2]
Uh, well in this pursuit of happiness that every n***a’s after
The faster ride is always rapper, athlete, trapper
Or some other profession with mils that's saw after
Just to lessen our chances of gettin’ popped on camera
Still claimin' it's a act or
Them worth, shit happens
My grandma told me "Stay in school"
Get my doctors, my masters
But Granny, I con-graduated
Go work for some n***a that wouldn't care if I died
Replace me with one much quicker
Or I can be an entrepre-n***a
Start up a business that attract millions of women
Though I got no talent in this shit
Though I’m not the one to fly pigeons
For the low like spirit, I make records
Well I just need n***as to hear it
'Cause every day I wake up, see another n***a die
So to be so far removed from this socialistic climb
To then "Slavery's a choice", that's a dark twisted fantasy of mines
So I'm more envious of the guy
From all the lights

[Chorus]
La, la, lights, camera, action (Shit must be nice, ay)
La, la, la, lights, camera action (Still lookin' nice, I'm still lookin' for the lights)
La, la, lights, camera, action ('Cause we all just wanna be you, the lights)
La, la, la, lights, camera action (I'm chasin' the lights, ay we just chasin' the lights)
La, la, lights, camera, action
La, la, la, lights, camera action (Uh, I'm still lookin' for the lights)
La, la, lights, camera, action (We just chasin' the lights, the lights)
La, la, la, lights, camera action (Said we all just chasin' the lights)
