Turn The Lights Off
Haze-M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn on the light, cut it on high, I wanna see sum,
Nah it’s up too bright, sumn they don’t like,
Sum they don’t need son,
But this is the life, it ain’t a fight, if they wanna leave son,
My only advice, one foot on they neck while you tell em to breathe son,

& here we go,
Round & round in circles found yo value in a circle,
Found out they wanted to hurt you had to hurdle jump da burden,
Burden to hurdle wanted to hurt you , really was what I had found out,
Cmon now,

Curtain to close
A bridge to burn
A tie to my soul ,
I unraveled the worst,
I was down in that hole,
Gritty mouth wit the dirt,
Tryna find me a pole,
Teachers clockin my work
I was out in the road,If my mama ain’t take me to church,
Tryna find me a home,I don’t know why I went on the search,
I get high for the lows,I’m on a wave standing still I’m gone surf,
Left me out in the cold,but I ain’t frozen I know what I’m worth,Since tha birth , connected to earth,
Never felt comfortable high off a perc,
The devil had had me destroying the turf,
Workin a curse, on all my connections I put as my first,
Down in tha dark could be in a hearse or stuck on a shirt,
I just thank God for tha grace & the merc had to flip on the switch for tha flicka for sure

(Turn on the light, cut it on high, I wanna see sum,
Nah it’s up too bright, sumn they don’t like,
Sum they don’t need son,
But this is the life, it ain’t a fight, if they wanna leave son,
My only advice, one foot on they neck while you tell em to breathe son,2x)


Breathe 2x breathe easy Ian cuttin no slack , never lookin back, had to counteract, enemy attack, pressing for a stack to push the ladder down & put tha us on the map,
Remember them nights in tha cold when I had what I had & I sold what I sold
Licks at the store wit 100 on the road at the vend machine sellin my soul
If you know you know you don’t ya don’t don’t try to ride the wave if can’t you can’t build the boat to float tha coast I’m coaching , focused, know this, take notice, this be tha prime example given what tha goat is (hit that switch over there yea)

Turn on the light, cut it on high, I wanna see sum,
Nah it’s up too bright, sumn they don’t like,
Sum they don’t need son,




But this is the life, it ain’t a fight, if they wanna leave son,
My only advice, one foot on they neck while you tell em to breathe son,2x)
