Lights Please Lyrics

I had this lil’ bad thing, somethin’ like them 10’s
She gave a nigga mad brain, somethin’ like the Wiz
But you see the sad thing fuckin’ with her is
Is the chick ain’t even have brains, dummy like a bitch
So I tried to show her
About the world and about just who we really are
And where we’ve come and how we still have to go really far
Like baby look at how we live broke on the boulevard
But all she ever want me to do is unhook her bra
Then all I really want is for her to go down low
Before you know it, she wet enough to get drowned slow
And all that deep shit I was previously down for
Replaced by freak shit I am currently down for
You see I peeped that pussy is power
That proud feeling we get knowing that pussy is ours
And how it feels to feel that feeling you feelin’ when you be drillin’ that shit
Got her sayin’ you be killin’ that shit
And all the pain the world caused, she be healin’ that shit
And nah that ain’t your girl dog, but you be feelin’ that shit
And you just wanna tell her everything she might need
But in the meantime, it’s lights please


Lights please, lights please
Turn off the lights
For now everything just seems so right
And how you make the darkness seem so bright
Feelin’ like things gon be alright


So now we in the hotel, mirrors on the ceiling
She say she wanna blow L’s, I hear her and I’m willin’
But everytime I smoke, well a nigga mind gone
So that every word I spoke, well I’m tryin to put her on
But she couldn’t hear me
I told her all about how we been livin’ a lie
And that they love to see us all go to prison or die
Like baby look at how they show us on the TV screen
But all she ever want me to do is unzip her jeans
Then all I really want is for her to get on top
Before you know it, she workin’, jerkin’ it non-stop
And all that next shit I was previously talkin’
Is now that wet shit that I’m currently lost in
And while that sweat drips, I am reminded
All the times my brother told me that pussy is blindin’
I’m findin’
The more I grow, the more y’all seem to stay the same
Don’t even know the rules but yet y’all tryin’ to play the game
And ain’t it shameful how aggins blame hoes for givin’ birth
To a baby that took two to make
Coward aggin, you a fake
How you gon look in your son’s face and turn your back?
Then go start another family dog, what type of shit is that?
She said ‘It’s okay,’ rubbed my head and told me to relax
Laid a nigga down proper like she was recording tracks
Said “I know you wanna change the world, but for the night please
Just reach over and hit the lights please”


Lights please, lights please
Turn off the lights
For now everything just seems so right
And how you make the darkness seem so bright
Feelin’ like things gon be alright

This song has such a hot beat. And I love his voice on the track.
I like the social commentary mixed with the sexual. It's freaky but so powerful.

This song is about Naive, dumb girl cole tries to reach out to. He tries to talk with her about world problems and big issues but she refuses to listen because she just wants to have sex. He talks about how easy it is to just give in to her instead of try to reason with her and the pride he feels knowing that she is all his, even if it is only for that moment.

Cover art for Lights Please lyrics by J. Cole

The song has a double meaning. The girl as his fans and the sex referring to his popular songs such as, No Role Modelz, Work Out, Etc. While trying to show the real world with songs like Rich Niggaz, Love Yourz, Break Down, etc. the girl (his fans) always seems to be nieve when talking about the real world. Since the sex (popular songs) seems to relieve him of his pain,"for now everything just seems so right, and how you make the darkness seem so bright", he always seems to give in.
