Lights Out
Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It goes one for the money, homie, two for the show.
We tore the roof off this mutha, now it's time to blow.
Like we don't need no water, don't bother, we let it burn.
We keep the fire just a little bit hotter, that way you'll learn.
Respect I earn! Started with the clique that i hanged.
Respect I earn! Ever since i got in this game.
Respect I earn! Never wanted fortune or fame.
I'd rather have these South D'ego Streets knowin my name.

Chiggy-check, microphone check.
Chiggy-check, microphone check.
It's Lights Out, Game Over.
If you wanna you can check my stats.
It's Lights Out, Game Over.
Make way cause the kings is back.

We bang boogie through your system, subliminal.
We lyrical murderin like we criminals.
It's life or death, medical decision.
We so dope out the lab that you'll need a prescription.
The hood is listenin, so for you that i wrote this.
Keep it underground, stickin to the streets like the homeless.
With the dopeness, recognize the real P.O.D.
Cause we triple O, O triple, triple OG.

Chiggy-check, microphone check.
Chiggy-check, microphone check.
It's Lights Out, Game Over.
If you wanna you can check my stats.
It's Lights Out, Game Over.
Make way cause the kings is back.
Lights Out, Game Over.
If you really think you got it like that.
It's Lights Out, Game Over.
Word on the streets is the boys is back.

Lights Out, Game Over.
Make way cause the kings is back.
It's Lights Out, Game Over.
If you really think you got it like that.
Lights Out, Game Over.
Word on the streets is the boys is back .
It's Lights Out, Game Over.
Worldwide homie pay respect.
Lights Out, microphone check.
It's Lights Out, microphone check.




Make way cause the kings is back.
Lights Out

Overall Meaning

These lyrics can be interpreted by multiple artists in different ways, depending on their musical style and message they want to convey. For a rapper or hip-hop artist, they may emphasize the power and impact of their music by referencing their ability to "tear the roof off" through their lyrics and the intensity of their beats. They may also relate to the struggle of earning respect and recognition in their field while staying true to their roots and community. The line "It's life or death, medical decision" could be a commentary on the intense competition in the music industry and the pressure to constantly produce new and innovative work.


For a rock artist, the emphasis may be on the subversive nature of their music and the raw energy they bring to the stage. The lines "We keep the fire just a little bit hotter, that way you'll learn" and "We so dope out the lab that you'll need a prescription" could be interpreted as a way of asserting their dominance over the status quo and pushing boundaries in their genre. The chorus of "Lights Out, Game Over" could be a nod to the intensity of their live shows and their ability to capture a crowd's attention and leave them in awe.

Lyric
Lights out! Lights out!
We don't wanna see how we're going crazy
Lights out! Lights out!

Oh we wanted it to be a surprise
But tonight something's different as I see her come alive
And I don't know how and I don't know why
It's just something in her eyes
And there's no turning back
No turning back
I can't say how I just know

There's no turning back
Or second chance
We'll stay until our song's over
When the light's go out
There's just one sound
Which makes it through the noise
Which makes up my choice
So while we're hung my string

I know I'd do anything for you

Lights out! Lights out!
We don't wanna see how we're going crazy
Lights out! Lights out!
Oh we wanted it to be a surprise
And I feel that I'm slipping as the world becomes a blur
And I don't know how and I don't know why
But I've lost myself in her

And there's no turning back
No second chance

All I see is this
Nothing else exists
Just you
And if the skies did fall apart I wouldn't know at all
Coz all I see is this
I guess I realised it myself
Only that doesn't mean a thing
Oh there's only one clear sound

When the lights go out
There's no turning back!

All I see is this
Nothing else exists
Just you
So while we're hung my string
I know I'd do anything for you
