NY90 by Jon Santana Lyrics
The lights start going out
The street lights
Along the streets start going out
One at a time like
In a.. In a, in a row
Poof, poof, poof
We just looked at each other
Wow did we do this?
I mean because we were jacked up to a street lamp
You know what I mean
I was home, sitting here
Watching television
Bingo
All the lights go off
The television goes off
I go up to the roof
Look out
DARKNESS! [laughter]
I'm twelve years old
I'm watching, Bewitched on television
And 'boom' the lights go out
I thought it was just us
Cause that's a common occurrence
I looked outside, and
Everything was black
Everything is black now
In the streets these people ain't know how to act now (nope)
Politicians just puppeteers in the background
Messin' with my mental while I'm stuck up in this trap house (darkness)
That's what I'm looking through
Try to resist it's impossible not to give into
The system failed me, I guess I failed the system too
Cause now I'm forced to sell dope cause I ain't got creations dude
It's Fucked right? Up nice
Wondering what it's once like
Stuck fighting with them same demons that I got tucked tight
Right behind my earlobe
Gun under my pillow
Cause I got all these dream that I'd either die or that I'd kill for
Demons and angles
Making me feel unstable
I prey though, my sons will never have to sling that yay-yo
Like they father did, put a couple whips up in their momma's crib
Make a couple mil and blow the game up like apollo did
Honestly, we did it to ourselves that ain't that hard to see
Take a step back and you can see it with some clarity
It's obvious, these politicians complicate the populist
And now I'm feeling haunted like I just brought home the oculus
Compassions really just a myth, darkness got us all confused
Now the smallest sliver of light is all we got in view
Compassions really just a myth, darkness got us all confused
And now the smallest sliver of light is all we got in view
Hold up
I say hold up
Don’t let this thing control us
Open up your eyes, it's more to life than what they show us
I say hold up
I say hold up
Don’t let this thing control us
Open up your eyes, it's more to life than what they show us
Who turned out the light
Whats left that is right
Who's making the game so damn hard for us
Who's making the game so
Who turned out the light
Whats left that is right
Who's making the game so damn hard for us
Who's making the game so
Who turned out the light
Whats left that is right
Who's making the game so damn hard for us
Who's making the game so
Who turned out the light
Whats left that is right
Who's making the game so damn hard for us
Who's making the game so
Darkness
Everything was black
The street lights
Along the streets start going out
