Yellow Lights Lyrics
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yellow lights
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Don't want no yellow lights (Lights)
Don't want no mixed message (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
I must've misread it (Woah)
We do this every night (Night)
You say I don't get it (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
What's with the dissonance?
[Verse 1]
You told me you got somethin' to say tonight (You got somethin' to say tonight)
Well, how 'bout you just say it right now? (Now)
'Cause you've been runnin' through my head again
Want you in my bed again ('Gain)
I just need to know if you down
For the crown, 'cause we could achieve it (Yeah, yeah)
Look around, it's nothing but demons (No, woah-woah)
Love you now, but don't you deceive me (Oh no, no-no)
So what's with the frown?
I thought you was down (Down)
Don't want no yellow lights (Lights)
Don't want no mixed message (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
I must'vе misread it (Woah)
We do this evеry night (Night)
You say I don't get it (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
What's with the dissonance?
Don't want no yellow lights (Lights)
Don't want no mixed message (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
I must've misread it (Woah)
We do this every night (Night)
You say I don't get it (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
What's with the dissonance?
[Verse 2]
Seem like you stuck in your ways (Your ways)
Fuckin' around, doin' nothin' for days
Seem like you stuck in a haze (In a haze)
All your emotions just rottin' away
I'm tryna make 'em amazed (Amazed)
Nothin' but lights when I hop on the stage
Now all your feelings done changed (Changed)
Now you wan' fuck in the Wraith
Brace for impact
Caught up in my gaze, I ain't mean to distract
Wait (Oh no), bitch, where your friends at? (Where?)
Clingin' on to me (Me), baby, word on the street
They say the money don't change you, I don't know (I don't know)
'Cause I've been tryna stay the same, shit, I won't fold (I won't fold)
But you just keep on playin' games, girl, back and forth (Back and forth)
I can't take no more
Don't want no yellow lights (Lights)
Don't want no mixed message (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
I must've misread it (Woah)
We do this every night (Night)
You say I don't get it (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
What's with the dissonance?
Don't want no yellow lights (Lights)
Don't want no mixed message (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
I must've misread it (Woah)
We do this every night (Night)
You say I don't get it (No)
That doesn't sound right (Right)
What's with the dissonance?

I’m just proud of the fact that I don’t think any other rapper has used the word ‘dissonance’ before. I remember being in this Airbnb that I got with [guitarist and producer] Omer [Fedi] mid-quarantine, and we would just make songs all day and just hang out. And it was like two in the morning, and I was about to go to bed, and that cadence and that melody popped in my head. I was just singing it, and Omer from the other room was like, ‘Voice memo that, that’s fire!’ It’s a very inquisitive song—I’m just trying to make this clear, how do you feel? What do you want? And I think clarity is something we’re all searching for, whether it’s in life or relationships.
