God Knows - Lights On lyrics

[Chorus] So you gotta turn the lights on, Leave the light on for the life that he lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the light on for the life that she lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the lights on for the life that they lived So you gotta turn the lights on, let it shine one in the life that you live So you gotta turn the lights on, Leave the light on for the life that he lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the light on for the life that she lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the lights on for the life that they lived So you gotta turn the lights on, let it shine one in the life that you live [Verse 1] – God Knows I landed in Ireland in 2001 About the same time that Dre dropped 2001 Thirteen years later the album's done Rusangano presents Non-national With an Attitude Volume One I'm disrespectful I spit on beats I got my voice back I'm D.O.C I'm G.O.D.K.N.O.W.S but my peers look at me like I'm their O.G I stick to myself no PVC Used to play my riddims on PS2 before we got played on BBC Where would I be without JME?

[Chorus] So you gotta turn the lights on, Leave the light on for the life that he lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the light on for the life that she lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the lights on for the life that they lived So you gotta turn the lights on, let it shine one in the life that you live So you gotta turn the lights on, Leave the light on for the life that he lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the light on for the life that she lived So you gotta turn the lights on, leave the lights on for the life that they lived So you gotta turn the lights on, let it shine one in the life that you live Shine on!
