Raz Simone - The Lights lyrics

[Hook x2] The lights dance around in my mind 'til I can't sleep at night Then I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can't see their light But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul And I feel them lights burning me They burning 'til it's cold But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul And I feel them lights burning me They telling me to go, oh The lights dance around in my mind 'til I can't sleep at night Then I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can't see their light But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul And I feel them lights burning me They burning 'til it's cold But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul And I feel them lights burning me They telling me to go, go [Verse 1] Late night conversations with the girl Who I know I can never have, cause she can't fit in my world They say pressure creates precious things Like pearls and diamonds But I've seen dark things come from shining So many nights I spent on my feet where I don't feel sleep It's not that we're afraid of what we can be, but what we will be I need somebody's loving hands to reach out and heal me I watch childhood movies to smile or remind me I'm still me Cause I'm f**ed up in the real world So thankful that I have a son and not a lil' girl Because I don't call home every night I hear his voice and I breakdown and cry I see the pictures of him growin' and I hide Because I'm on a different road every night And I'm doing different shows every night But it beats selling dope every night Standing in-front of crowds who might love it or hate it Sacrificing time with my son to perform in-front of possible racists, tasteless crowds where I give it my all And keep searching 'til love is found Make them put their hands up, jump around, and then touch the ground [Hook] The lights dance around in my mind 'til I can't sleep at night Then I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can't see that light But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul And I feel them lights burning me They burning 'til it's cold But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul And I feel them lights burning me They telling me to go, go [Verse 2] Tryna find heaven, I've raised hell up But life is like photography, you need the negatives to develop So I step back, remind myself and cherish every moment The highs feel that much higher, when the lows are the lowest And we need those sweet moments to remind us to keep going Staring down the barrel of a gun isn't the opportune time to blow it But sometimes we need those moments, sometimes we need those moments Like God reminding us how small we are in the middle of the ocean When the waves come crashing, they show you how weak your human control is You can put a coat on, but you can't stop it rainin' and snowin', but we try Oh Lord knows we try No matter how many surgeries we have, you still going to die when it's time [Hook] The lights dance around in my mind 'til I can't sleep at night Then I hide in the dark in the day 'til I can't see that light But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul And I feel them lights burnin' me They burning 'til it's cold But I feel them shadows pulling me They tugging on my soul -oul -oul -oul oul And I feel them lights burning me They telling me to go, oh
