Kanye West - Flashing Lights feat Dwele Lyrics

Flashing lights, lights 
Flashing lights, lights 
Flashing lights, lights 
Flashing lights, lights 

[Kanye West] 
She don't believe in shootin' stars, 
but she believe in shoes & cars 
Wood floors in the new apartment, 
couture from the store's department 
You more like L'eau de Stardee shit, 
I'm more of the, trips to Florida 
Order the h'orderves, views of the Water 
Straight from the page of your favorite author 
And the weather so breezy, 
man why can't life always be this easy 
She in the mirror dancing so sleazy, 
I get a call like where are you Yeezy 
Try to hit you with a 'Oeur de Whopee' 
Till I get flashed by the paparazzi 
Damn, these nigga's got me, 
I hate these nigga's more than the Nazis 

[Dwele] 
As I recall, I know you love to show off 
But I never thought that you would take it this far 
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights 
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights 

[Kanye West] 
I know it's been a while, 
Sweetheart, we hard-ly talk, I was doing my thing 
I know I was foul bay-bay, 
a-bay late-ly you been all on my brain, 
And if somebody would've told me a month ago 
Fronting though, yo I wouldn't wanna know 
If somebody would've told me a year ago 
it'd go, get this difficult 
Feeling like Katrina with no fema 
Like Martin with no Gina 
Like a flight with no visa 
First class with the seat back I still see ya 
In my past, you on the other side of the glass 
Of my memory's museum, 
I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa, 
come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar 

[Dwele] 
As I recall, I know you love to show off 
But I never thought that you would take it this far 
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights 
What do I know? Flashing lights, lights 

As you recall, you know I love to show off 
But you never thought that I would take it this far 
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights 
What do you know? Flashing lights, lights 

Flashing lights, lights 
Flashing lights, lights 

[Fade out] 
Lights, lights, lights, lights...
