Lil' Kim - Lighters Up lyrics

Your rating:

[Verse 1]

I come from Bed-Stuy, niggas either do or they gon' die

Gotta keep the ratchet close by

Someone murdered, nobody seen, nobody heard it

Just another funeral service

Niggas will get at you, come through shinin' they yap you

In broad day light kidnap you

Feds get clapped too, police stay on us like tattoos

Niggas only grind cause we have to

Money is power, sling crack, weed and powder

Fiends come through every hour

It's about that dollar and we nuh deal with cowards

Weak lambs get devoured by the lion

In the concrete jungle, the strong stand and rumble

The weak fold and crumble, it's the land of trouble

Brooklyn, home of the greatest rappers

BIG comes first, then the Queen comes after



[Chorus]

Now put ya lighters up

Bed Stuy put ya lighters up

New York put ya lighters up

DC keep puttin' ya lighters up

Philadelphia put ya lighters up

Detroit put ya lighters up

Chi-Town keep puttin' dem lighters up

No matter where you from put ya lighters up



[Verse 2]

Now lemme give you a walk through

Show ya what to do and ya don't do

Where it's not safe to go to

Dem boys approach you

Better say quick who you close to

Don't come through if niggas don't know you

Cuz people is talkin', the streets is watchin'

The thieves is lurkin' stash da nine in the garbage

The life of a hustla, the life of a gambler

Dice games kill' mo' niggas than cancer

Ya know who ya fuck with

Brooklyn don't run we run sh*t

Roll up and just bum rush 

We don't play that out in B.K not at all

4 pound leave ya face on the wall

R.I.P in memory of

Never show thy enemies love

We get it on where we live

Better have a pass when you cross that bridge



[Chorus]

Welcome to Brooklyn put ya lighters up

LA put ya lighters up

VA put ya lighters up

Texas keep puttin' ya lighters up

New Orleans put ya lighters up

St Louis put ya lighters up

ATL keep puttin' dem lighters up

No matter where you from put ya lighters up



[Bridge]

Damn homie I'm so to'

I don't think I'm ever gon' smoke no mo'

And I don't think I'm ever gon' drink no mo'

But fuck it, bartender you can gimmie one mo'

(We in the club like) Damn homie I'm so to'

(Lightin' the dutch like) I don't think I'm ever gon' smoke no mo'

(Passin' the cup like) And I don't think I'm ever gon' drink no mo'

(Back at the bar like) But fuck it baretender, you can gimmie one mo'



[Verse 3]

See BIG done told you

I'm the hottest bitch on the planet

Biggest sex symbol since Janet

The Zanotti bandit

Layin' in the cut like a bandage

Come through Fulton St. in a Vanquish

Doin' dem damage

And if you don't understand it

Then lemme give it to you in Spanish

Soy la senorita mas linda del barrio

Y lo hago afuera del espacio

Still over in Brazil sippin' Mascoto

You must have forgot though

So, I'ma take it back to the block yo

Put u on to how we rock yo

Some are boostin 12 year olds prostitutin'

Hitmen hired for execution there's no solution

Niggas still piss in the hallways

Fiends get high in 'em all day

The yute, dem bang at the cops off the roof

You don't know my town is the truth



[Chorus]

Welcome to Brooklyn now put ya lighters up

New Jersey put ya lighters up

Boston put ya lighters up

B'More keep puttin' ya lighters up

Miami put ya lighters up

Puerto Rico put ya lighters up

Kingston, Jamaica put ya lighters up

No matter where you from put ya lighters up
