The Lights

[Intro: Karen O]

Whenever I wake up

Try and take the shape of

Turn into the whole wide world I made up

[Verse: Witt Lowry]

Hello, my name's Witty, I'm fucking half sane

Trying to play me, well you ain't playing with the game

Imma show you what I got and what I got is everything

And I'm rapping with words full of forces that sting

Lemme take you way back to the beginning

Understand me and the life that I was living

I was only bout eleven and I moved eleven times

Bunch of different schools, I ain't trying fucking whine

But I'm showing you my life

Had to make a picture, school wasn’t easy

Kids like to pick you apart

I'm a easy target high voice as a start

Long hair doesn’t help high socks torn apart

But, ended up where I think I kinda fit in

Made a couple friends everything was beginning

Not Charlie Sheen but I felt like I was winning

But it doesn’t end there,  fat ladie's not singing

Had to move again, I moved in with my grandma

Things got rough there she wasn’t a fan of me

Or anything I do we would often argue

I just get home from school and she'd already be yelling

That could last all night

Just a brief overview you all understand right?

One weekend, everything really went south

My mom, sister arrived, came home, the locks changed on the house

That led to another move, another school

And I had to leave my friends, a place I was finally cool

And at this new school it was much bigger

Didn’t know many there but I figured

That I would meet people everything would be fine

So I went to school did my work and in the meantime

Made a few friends, but I didn’t belong

Met a few girls all of them did me wrong

School flew by and soon I was out

Wanted to learn more so I took the college route

And by now everything had settled down

Searching for something and myself is what I found

Two years in college as I focused on my studies

I still was missing something I was still hungry

Started making music then everything clicked

Spit a couple bars people saying that I'm sick

So I thought I'd test it and in steps Witty

And of course I got haters people saying that I'm shitty

But I dealt with the haters like the bullies in the past

Turn around told them all they could all kiss my ass

The positive response was enough to outweigh

In one summer got a show and I made a mixtape

Which is not an achievement, its just a start

Now I'm rapping with passion and I'm full of fucking heart

The past isn’t easy but that’s how you learn

I'm on this ride of life now I'm taking my turn

That brings us full circles to where were at now

Here with this pen and paper, just sitting on the couch

Turning off the lights from the past

Now lights for the future

Lets make them last now

Lets make them last now

Lets make them last now

Make em last now
