Lights Out
C. Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been working my days away
Y'all better give me a break
About to go back to the house
Ima crash on the couch
Face down yeah, it's lights out
Tell me what more I got to say
It's about half past I need a raise
I don't play that
Time to lay back
And you know I don't slack
But I got to relax
No sleep, bodies weak, got to eat, yeah
Sipping on my drink
Wide awake on my feet
Bones achin, Breath stankin
Been a long week
Need some time for me
Ventilation got to breath
Need a dose
Medicate my soul
I don't need the liquor, vape or the weed smoke
No daddy in my sight
Tell me son its gon' be alright
I was bitter
But I learned to grow
Many lessons
It kept me guessin
All this wrestlin
Kept me flexin
Here I am
Counting up these blessings
Ready for the weekend
Relieve all this tension
Been working my days away
Y'all better give me a break
About to go back to the house
Ima crash on the couch
Face down yeah, it's lights out
Tell me what more I got to say
It's about half past I need a raise
I don't play that
Time to lay back
And you know I don't slack
But I got to relax
Time is money
Chase it down
Feeling like I'm running
Aint it funny
I don't got a lot
But its better then nothing
Grateful to have a little something
Work hard, play later
Keep it one hundred
Lagging on a bad day
Flirting with my flesh
Bad mood, feeling rude
Sweat dripping down my neck
Wanna quit, about to flip
Kill my pride
At the end of the day
I got to pay this rent, yeah
On my daily routine
Hit the ground
Spinnin like gold d's
Living life like tomorrows not guaranteed
Ready for the weekend
It all fades away
Like dem dark blue jeans
Been working my days away
Y'all better give me a break
About to go back to the house
Ima crash on the couch
Face down yeah, it's lights out
Tell me what more I got to say
It's about half past I need a raise
I don't play that
Time to lay back




And you know I don't slack
But I got to relax
