Lights Down Lyrics - Singles - 1982

Statik Selektah & Termanology 

Ima turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

Get it right now, get it, get it right now 

Ima turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

Damn right Im from a city you aint never heard about 

Wasnt making noise then but Im making noise now 

Making dope shit, what Im all about 

Im 93, fans like my shit loud 

And I made my mama proud, turn the tv on wow 

She just clicking through the channels while shes sitting on the couch 

is, its time to celebrate now 

You can tell the bartender we gonn need another round, its going down 

In and out of labels all the time, had to change all my ideas, 

Had to switch on my designs 

Went from being major to the independent grind 

When you come to think about it, man Im just fine 

Cause Im that youtube and Im on that iPod 

And that girl up in the front row screaming my god 

my fans and all of my squad 

You can call me what you want, call me an icon 

Ima turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

Took a ride to NY, had a lot of time to think 

5 people got stabbed, 2 murdered this week 

In my hood, in my city, only 6 miles wide 

Hurricane full of tears, filling buckets outside 

Mama going in the shop, while she watch her son die 

Police say another unsolved homicide 

Damn kid, what a shame, when I think about the youth 

Used to think about a play 

Now I think about the booth 

Just had another daughter, so now that makes 2 

Gotta teach them be smart, do it thugs point of view 

Gotta teach them bout respect, gotta teach them bout the rules 

I aint talking on the neck but I gotta give them jewels 

Looking back on my life, half way 

I could say I was a leader, had a lot of shit to say 

my inner demons, tryna make my plan straight 

I just hold another jay and let the thoughts fade away 

Ima turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

Get it right now, get it, get it right now 

Ima turn the bass up, you can turn the lights down 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right 

If you aint had enough, you gonn get it right.
