  1. Listen to this song and read along to the lyrics, this is one of the sickest songs I have ever listened to. The 2nd verse almost brought a tear to my eye it was so powerful.

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meQoF8OOjk4]YouTube - J Cole Lights Please "Warm Up" Lyrics[/ame]

    I had this lil’ bad thing, somethin’ like them 10’s
    She gave a n**** 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 fo’
    Replaced by freak shit I am currently down fo’

    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 n***** 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 n*****, 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 n***** 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”
     
  2. Sorry but if this is the one of the most powerful songs you have ever heard you should branch out of rap music. The simplicity of the rhymes and verses really nullifies the effect of..well, ANYTHING. When someone rhymes "shit" with "shit" 4 times in a row, there's your sign.

    Try listening to some Claude Debussy if you want to hear how humans have harnessed emotion through music.
     
  3. Yeah, I have the mixtape, this is easily one of the better tracks on the mixtape.
