Lyrics

Lights

[Intro: J Styles]

Lie, lie, lie, somebody tellin' lies on me

Know what happened last summer, why'd you lie? Oh

(Zino Records, hahahaha)

[Verse 1: Nines]

My nigga asked me if I'm strapped, told him "Course I got the ting"

Fuck a middle man, I even get my water from the spring

Copped my chick a mink, got her lookin' like a polar bear

Chauffeur outside and I ain't goin' nowhere

No one helped me in this maze

Doubled up my re-up then I gave myself a raise

Now I'm wealthy off the haze

Used to throw my shot a key's

Now he owe me couple G's

If we was in jail, I woulda thrown him off the freeze, uh

I was gettin' paid before my deal

I ain't ever had a job, my first payslip was a mil

Still remember all them dead nights

When my block was like Amsterdam

Bitches sellin' pussy from the red lights

I did crops with the scousers

I had Glocks in my trousers

They was droppin' me ounces

Now we're shoppin' for houses

I was pedalling pies of heroin

Rich nigga shit, I eat fries with everything, uh

There ain't a summer I ain't shell the block

Came through on R1's doin' twelve o'clock

When my album drops, the whole world should stop

And my new crop's louder than Jurgen Klopp

It's Nines

[Chorus: Nines, Louis Rei]

I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world

It's just me against the world, uh

I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world (Yeah, uh)

It's just me against the world, uh

[Verse 2: Louis Rei]

I'm that prolific, holistic, grown misfit (Ah)

Fam, I'm like a shaved dice cah I roll different (Trust)

Yeah, I'm from the western so you know I know Smith and

I'm a thot, get me lit, only right we pole gripping

Strip clubbin', with a honey coke sniffin'

Said it's my turn, nah babe, you just go innit

With my nigga Master P, told me that there's no limit

We done kicked doors, tellin' niggas "Put the cold in it"

Listen, it's just me against the world

Or it's ego, that just means it's me against myself (Facts)

Family, I'm tryna redefine the L's

Life's like the drug game, you gotta realign the scales

Link Nina under the Burj Khalifa

Never let me pay the bill but I got you on the rebound (My nigga)

Yo, at least let me pay for the service

I ain't religious, still link Nines at the churches, facts

[Chorus: Nines]

I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world

It's just me against the world, uh

I got nothin' to lose, it's just me against the world

It's just me against the world, uh
