Hit the lights (uh-oh-oh)
Hit the lights (uh-oh-oh)

Hit the lights (too the sky)
Baby, hold it
And let me holla at you, baby, for a moment
And if you with it, I'm with it, we'll keep it rollin'
And we'll be dancing and drinking until the morning
Until the morning, morning
Starters going off
It's so hot there's girls just taking all their clothes off
So take a picture of this moment with your iPhone
'Cause I don't wanna forget tonight, night, night
Put your lighters in the air
Let 'em burn into the night
And let everybody know
That your with it and your ready to go
So hit the lights (uh-oh-oh)

Understand the time is now, but time is up the future's bleak

Wildest flower in the garden
Coolest nigga in the party

"Hit the Lights" by Jay Sean is an upbeat dance track that celebrates the excitement and hedonism of a party night. The song urges the listeners to live it up, dance, and drink until the morning. The chorus makes a direct appeal, the repetition of the line "hit the lights" being the main hook of the track, urging everyone to put their lighters in the air and let them burn into the sky, symbolizing the joy of being carefree and alive with the moment. The verses describe an ecstatic scene where the music is so hot and the club is so crowded, that people start taking off their clothes. The song even references a love interest (Baby), encouraging them to join the dance and the drinking.
Besides the hedonistic attitude of the lyrics, the song is notable for featuring Lil Wayne in a rap verse. Wayne is given a space to vent about his charisma and the love he gets from women. He also alludes to his Blood gang affiliation and shoutouts to Jay Sean. The song's video maintains the theme of partying with people of different backgrounds and ethnicities.

@@keveshannaidoo5670 To every soul OUT THERE:
All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155 “Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.”
(Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain).
Mankind is filled with UNSAVED SOULS (WICKED SINNERS).
That`s why there`s a calling to REPENTANCE and to BORN AGAIN:
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
