Lights Please
J. Cole Lyrics

Yeah, I had this little bad thing something like them tens
I had a girl who was a perfect 10 in all aspects

She gave a nigga mad brain, something like The Wiz
She was smart and gave me amazing oral sex, like the character in the movie The Wiz

But you see the sad thing fuckin' with her is
The unfortunate thing about being with her is

Is the chick ain't even have brains, dummy like a bitch
She wasn't actually intelligent, she was like a foolish girl

So I tried to show her about the world and about just who we really are
I attempted to teach her about our reality and true identity

And where we've come and how we still have to go really far
I explained our progress and how much more we still need to achieve

Like "baby, look at how we live broke on the boulevard"
I showed her the struggling life we live in the ghetto

But all she ever want me to do is unhook her bra
All she cared for was sex

Then all I really want is for her to go down low
I just wanted her to perform oral sex on me

Before you know it, she wet enough to get drowned slow
She became sexually aroused and ready for penetration

And all that deep shit I was previously down for
All the meaningful conversations I wanted to have with her

Replaced by freak shit I am currently down for
Were replaced by my current desire for kinky, sexual activities

You see I peeped it, pussy is power
I realized that female genitalia has great influence and control over men

That proud feeling we get knowin' that pussy is ours
We feel proud and victorious when we conquer and have sex with a woman

And how it feels to feel that feeling
The sensation of having sex

You feeling when you be drillin' that shit
The sensation of penetrating during sex

Got her sayin' you be killin' that shit
She praises and compliments your abilities during sex

And all the pain the world cause she be healin' that shit
She helps to ease the emotional pain caused by the difficulties of the world

And naw that ain't your girl, dog, but you be feelin' that chick
She may not be your official girlfriend, but you still hold feelings for her

And you just wanna tell her everything she might need
You want to share all the knowledge and wisdom she may require

But in the meantime it's lights please
But for now, let's just turn off the lights and enjoy each other sexually

Lights please
Turn off the lights

For now everything just seems so right
In the darkness, everything feels perfect

And how you make the darkness seem so bright
Through sexual pleasure, she makes everything feel more alive and bright

I'm feeling like things gon' be alright
I feel optimistic that everything will be okay

So now we in the hotel, mirrors on the ceiling
We are now in a hotel room with ceiling mirrors for our sexual pleasure

She say she wanna blow Ls, I hear her and I'm willin'
She wants to smoke marijuana, and I am willing to do so with her

But every time I smoke, well, a nigga mind gone
When I get high, my mind becomes altered and not as attentive

So that every word I spoke, well, I'm tryin' to put her on
I'm trying to enlighten her about important issues while high

But she couldn't hear me
She couldn't comprehend my teachings while under the influence

I told her all about how we been living a lie
I explained how our society has been living in falsehood

And that they love to see us all go to prison or die
I revealed the plot against black people, to have them incarcerated or killed

Like "baby, look at how they show us on the TV screen"
I showed her the false and negative portrayals of our people in TV and media

But all she ever want me to do is unzip her jeans
She only cares about sex and not the issues I'm trying to bring to her attention

Then all I really want is for her to get on top
My only desire is for her to ride me during sex

Before you know it, she workin', jerkin' it nonstop
She is actively engaged and working hard during sex

And all that next shit I was previously talkin'
All the important topics and issues I talked about before

Is now that wet shit that I'm currently lost in
They are now replaced by lustful desires and sexual gratification

And while that sweat drip, I am reminded
As sweat drips during sex, I am reminded

All the times my brother told me that pussy is blindin'
My brother warned me about the addictive power of sex

I'm findin', the more I grow, the more y'all seem to stay the same
As I mature and improve, I realize that many people around me remain unchanged

Don't even know the rules but yet y'all tryin' to play the game
Everyone is trying to engage in the game of life without knowing the proper rules

And ain't it shameful, how niggas blame hoes for givin' birth
It's shameful how men blame women for getting pregnant

To a baby that took two to make, coward nigga you a fake
It takes a man and a woman to create a baby, and men who neglect their responsibilities are cowards

How you gonna look in your son's face and turn your back
How can a man face his child, but refuse to take care of them

Then go start another family, dawg, what type of shit is that?
Instead, they start a new family with another woman and abandon their previous responsibilities

She said it's okay, rub my head and told me to relax
She comforted me by telling me not to worry and rubbed my head

Laid a nigga down proper, like she was recording tracks
She initiated sexual activity with great skill and like a professional recording artist

Said "I know you wanna change the world but for the night please
She acknowledges my desires to change the world, but for tonight, let's just focus on ourselves

Just reach over and hit the lights please"
Let's turn off the lights and have sex in the darkness

Lights please
Turn off the lights

Lights please
Turn off the lights

Lights please
Turn off the lights

Lights please
Turn off the lights

Turn off the lights
Let's have sex in the dark
