Flashlight

Lyrics

Flashlight

[Verse 1]

Overlooking the skyline

Double checking every rule in the guidelines

I can see it with 2020 vision

Partition and tel' em that it's my time

Two time for the city which I came

Crack policy, crack cocaine

Crack a bottle on a porch

Crack a bad bitch in a porsche

When it rains, I make sure I don't have an umbrella

Benjamins falling from a cloud

Send a missile at your pathetic propellers

Screamin' that fly shit

Emergency land now

I mean, I can show you way better than tell you

I know that they know you, but no they can't help you

Do what you supposed to, or jump bеhind Pro-Tools and die

You're livin' a lie

[Pre-Chorus]

I hеard a melody on your corner

And it was dedicated to you

It said, "Don't worry, we got now"

Do you believe that's true?

You know I'm right

So for life, we go

[Chorus]

Flashlight, so bright, like

Stadium, high beam, high

We glow, we glow, like

These stars, woah, woah, woah

Flashlight (Flashlight)

Flashlight (Flashlight)

Flashlight (Flashlight)

Flashlight

We glow, we glow, like

Stadium, woah, woah, woah

[Verse 2]

Fuckin' up your premises, I been a dick

Ain't beneficial, I'm 'bout to issue your nemesis

Evacuate the buildin' when I come through

Evaluate your feelings when I come through

Tire marks and gun smoke stories

OGs reminisce and show glory

He said, "Nigga, I'm hopin' you make a way out

Before I make this Mac-11 do it for me"

I know responsibility weighin' down on my shoulders

Summertime always the coldest

Niggas do you dirty like the projects

25? Then you are the oldest

This is the feelin' you get when you ride

'Til the wheels fall off and there's no mo' drive

I see the fear when I look in your eyes

We livin' a lie

[Pre-Chorus]

I heard a melody on your corner

And it was dedicated to you

It said, "Don't worry, we got now"

Do you believe that's true?

You know I'm right

So for life, we go

[Chorus]

Flashlight, so bright, like

Stadium, high beam, high

We glow, we glow, like

These stars, woah, woah, woah

Flashlight (Flashlight)

Flashlight (Flashlight)

Flashlight (Flashlight)

Flashlight

We glow, we glow, like

Stadium, woah, woah, woah
