lirik lagu narrowgate - lights out
[chorus]
yeah turn the lights out, lemme think for a minute
nah lemme think for a minute
yeah turn the lights out, lemme think for a minute
for a minute or two
[verse 1]
my body telling me i need to get some sleep
my mind telling me i need to make a beat
cause i can’t write unless i have what i need
and i think need perfection in my quips and my queen
but i won’t have that until i’m clean
and that might be after iub
sometimes i wonder if i’ll marry someone i’ve already seen
my sins are telling me that i don’t have the right to dream
but i let the record keep on spinning just to ease the pain
sharing my catharsis with someone who feels the same
i need to write an essay on the fact that i love music
so i guess i gotta word-vomit and hope that god’ll use it
but it has to be flawless, no can’t have mistakes
when i get in that mindset, i can’t even erase
cause i never start, i’m too scared i’ll do it wrong
this is me with every lyric, every beat, every song
my rhymes are redundant, you knew that was coming next
but i was gonna be an engineer, so what did you expect?
a vast vocabulary from a mathematician?
i said abra-kadabra today, but i’m not a magician
but i’ve had friends disappear pretty recently
but maybe i left, i wonder what they think of me
shouldn’t care, but i do, guess that’s how it is
gotta learn to get over it to get in the biz
got so many lyrics on my phone, don’t wanna waste’em
should prolly write’em down cause i have erased some
that i wanted to keep to repeat when i’m feeling like
reliving those memories so i don’t have to see the light
it’s dark outside, and everybody’s looking in
they can see me now, but can’t see where i been
i’m sure that some people think that all i do is win
but i i feel like, i feel like all i do is sin
but i’m supposed to be narrowgate, yeah, what a name
i can’t even live up to my t-tle, man, what a pain
i would say i’m a player, but don’t i don’t have a game
they wouldn’t call me a player cause i’ve never had a dame
not that i don’t think about it, not that i don’t contemplate
cause i could list some people who always used to confiscate
half of my thoughts, throughout lots of the day
checking twitter, watching buses, and i know it ain’t okay
i got so much ahead of me that i can’t even see
so i’m touching a mirror to find out who i’m supposed to be
am i supposed to be ian or drew, and be low key?
preston, isaac, marcus, alex, or maybe just me?
that was forty-four, but i’m going to forty-eight (yeah)
got too much on my plate
but i can still look out the window and tell all of you to wait
cause i know i’ll be great
[chorus]
yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
let me think for a minute
yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
for a minute or two
no turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
nah i said think for a minute, no
turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
a minute or two
[verse 2]
so by the time this comes out, i’ll be in college (yikes)
i hope i’m doing alright
people tell me that i’m gonna have to put up a fight
if i don’t want to get dragged into the heat of the night
they say i can make it, yeah, but i don’t know
my parents tryna do their best but i won’t let them help me grow
i got some friends that care but i don’t think that i can let them know
that i’m addicted to and i just can’t seem to let it go
i’m sorry if you looked up to me and i let you down
i’m sorry that i don’t got this beat by now
honestly it feels like i’m looking up at the ground
honestly this is why i was ready to leave town
so if you wanna jump ship after hearing the truth
i get it, it’s the reason i didn’t pursue
some relationships that i thought might have gone far
so i’m sorry, bunches, if i ever broke your heart, no
they say that i’m cool, i’d rather be hot, almost forgot
what it’s like to live on the rock, and be a man of god
even though i hate that phrase, cause the guy who receives that praise
has a belly, facial hair, loves the dawgs and the braves
and that’s not bad, just seems easy to achieve
it seems lukewarm, and i don’t want that to be me
though conversely, i’m scared that if i go all in
i’ll lose my edge, and we can’t have that
so i stay here, losing myself more each day
and now it’s at a point that it’s a role that i play
i tell people i follow christ, that i been saved
but i can’t seem to get myself off the broadway
i know enough to be dangerous, i’m born to be famous, it’s
something i haven’t been taking seriously, but seriously
i’m worried that, i’ll never make it back
and my name will end up on a stone and not a plaque
it shows you my priorities, to whom should all the glory be?
i used to know the right response, but somehow it got lost
just like the rest of me, and now i’m about to rest in peace
but maybe not cause even the thought of death is stressing me
yeah, no, so i need to breathe
i need to remember that it’s not all on me
i just need to put in the work and do my part (yeah)
and then i’ll be free
[chorus]
yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
let me think for a minute
yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
for a minute or two
no turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
nah i said think for a minute, no
turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
a minute or two
so turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
yeah let me think for a minute (no)
turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
for a minute or two
yeah turn the lights out, let me think for a minute
yeah let me think for a minute, no
turn the lights out, let me think for a minute or two
minute or two
