Lighters (Cover)

[Verse 1]

I've seen the inside of half a dozen studios

Live on the microphone

I know about half a dozen Julios

California girl, I'm feeling right at home

I've seen a person lie with a smile on

I'm on an uphill battle, a mile long

But I respect everyone who laid bricks down

For me to stomp my Converse kicks 'round

I see you Left Eye, I feel you right now

I know you woulda never put this mic down

You left too soon but everybody gotta fall

I hope you hear me every time I'm singing "Waterfalls"

You know that I'm an MC, right?

Never would have been without MC Lyte

And Lauryn Hill sang and played the guitar

I used to listen and dream one day I'd get far

I'm too young to be a queen but I respect Latifah

And if you're listening I hope one day I get to meet ya

'Cause I act too, I write screenplays

And rock loud when I'm listening to Green Day

I love Michael, I still can't believe it

And when I act dead, mamma tells me "Beat it"

And Christina taught me how to belt the notes out

And Little Mama win hard, what you know about?

Everybody I was influenced by

Every star was a fan, just like you and I

So put your hands up like you about to fight the sky

I wanna see the whole world put your lighters high

[Chorus]

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

[Verse 2]

I see the night time sky glowing right now

Just take it in

And I respect everyone that's going right now

That's what it takes to win

I see you Ke$ha, I can't even lie

When you and Luke make a track, I turn my speakers high

Nicki reminded females it's okay to rap

And I'm a low key fan, I'm just waiting back

And Karmin showed everyone what you do

If you post the right videos on YouTube

Rebecca Black got a hundred million hits

And I don't curse, but damn that's the shi-

And it's Saturday, so no school

Katy Perry made Teenage Dream so cool

I understand this game, that's why I never hate

It only hurts people, I like to celebrate

And I would say "Thank you" if I knew Bruno Mars

'Cause I'm borrowing his hook again and two more bars

Slim, I'm a fan, you made history

Now put your lighters in the air

And sing with me

[Chorus]

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

The sky's filled with lighters, uh, whoa

The sky's filled with lighters, ooh, ah

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

The sky's filled with lighters, oh

The sky's filled with lighters, oh (Hey, hey)

The sky's filled with lighters, oh (Hey, hey)

The sky's filled with lighters, oh (Hey, hey)

The sky's filled with lighters, oh (Hey, hey)
