All Of The Lights
Kanye West Ft Rihanna & Drake Lyrics

All of the lights (all of the lights)
Bring in all the lights to see everything clearly

(Lights, lights) all of the lights
Repeat the call for all the lights

Turn up the lights in here baby
Make the lights even brighter

Extra bright, I want y'all to see this
I want everyone to see this clearly

You know what I need
You understand my intention

Want you to see everything
I want you to observe every detail

Fast cars, shooting stars
Living a glamorous and exciting life

(All of the lights, all of the lights)
Reminder to bring all the lights

Until it's Vegas everywhere we are
Our lifestyle is like being in Las Vegas

If you want it you can get it for the rest of your life
I have what it takes to provide for you forever

Something wrong
I am experiencing problems

I hold my head
I bear the burden of my issues

M.J. gone, our nigga dead!
The loss of Michael Jackson is still affecting us

I slapped my girl, she called the feds
I made a mistake and was punished for it

I did that time and spent that bread
I served my sentence and paid for my mistake

I'm heading home, I'm almost there
I am returning to my loved ones

I'm on my way, headed up the stairs
I am coming home to you

To my surprise, a nigga replacing me
To my dismay, I was replaced

I had to take 'em to that ghetto university (all of the lights)
I had to introduce them to the harsh realities of life

Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights
Different kinds of lights seen in different situations

Strobe lights, street lights
More lights seen in different scenarios

Fast life, drug life
Living a dangerous and addicted life

Thug life, rock life
Living a rough and rebellious life

Every night (all of the lights)
We see these lights every night

Restraining order
I am legally prohibited from being near someone

Can't see my daughter
I am not allowed to see my child

Her mother, brother, Grandmother hate me in that order
Her family despises me, with the mother being the most resentful

Public visitation
I can only see my child in public places

We met at Borders
We had a chance encounter at a bookstore

Told her she take me back
I pleaded with her to forgive me

I'll be more supportive
I will be there for her from now on

I made mistakes
I have done wrong in the past

I bump my head
I made a foolish mistake

Courts suck me dry
The courts took everything I had

She need a daddy
My child needs a father figure in her life

Baby please, Can't let her grow up in that ghetto university (all of the lights)
Please, don't let my child grow up in the harsh realities of this world

Getting mine, baby
I am taking what belongs to me

Gotta let these niggas know, yeah
I need to assert myself to those who doubt me

Get it right, eh
I need to correct those who are wrong

You should go and get your own
Find your own success and happiness

Unemployment line, credit card declined
I am struggling financially

Did I not mention I was about to lose my mind? (my mind, my mind, my mind)
I am also dealing with mental health issues

And also was about to do that line (line, line, line)
I was tempted to take drugs to cope with my problems

Okay, okay, you know we going all the way this time (time)
We are going all out this time

We going all the way this time (time)
We are determined to succeed this time around

Whoa, whoa, oh
Exclamation of surprise or amazement

I tried to tell you but all I could say is oh
I attempted to convey my feelings, but lacked the words
