Light One Write One

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I just fired one up, now I'm in the zone Sometimes I write inside my head and leave my pencil and my pen alone My eyes got big when hearing B.I.G. did the same thing Also, Shawn Carter 'cause they both became king Now dare I say, that one day I'll be in the conversation of who's great Those who punch below their weight don't want a confrontation Just blaze when the sets roll I could be Halley's Comet in a vessel If I wasn't, would life be less stressful? I don't know I think dead ends are new beginnings to grow Like Five on the Black Hand Side, taking pride in your 'fro During Jim Crow, just let it Jim go, did you catch it? I hope it was caught by some kid whose parents got divorced And they think it's their fault Don't carry that with you as an adult, it could make you depressed From your subconscious head, in the vault Believe me, I know, and that ain't on the low-low I put myself in this song, you don't picture me as strong You got the wrong photo I killed all my demons and lived to tell the tale Where they dumping bodies in the Great Lakes to sell the sale Or leave you right where you stand for your Pelle Pelle and Starter coat I saw how one could stab you in the back could also part your throat What a shame that people feel they gotta go there Then later find out they ain't going nowhere I'm so rare when I jot it That I've compared my lines to the ones that you shave from a narcotic And ain't nobody touching our product Them other niggas good, but let's be real My cup runneth over, they need fresh refills They probably got 'em from fast food spots that make you obese In the hood, are those the only places we can go feast? If so, I wonder if it's more to it Since every corner got a liquor store with crooked police And swear you in a stolen car and not a car with no lease And you got drugs inside a stash box along with your piece Peace to Sandra Bland, Eric Garner and Kaepernick What happened to all in the same gang? "Self-Destruction" when popular rappers stick together for a cause Now they doped up from their flaws Excuse me while I pause to blow strains [Pre-Chorus] Hundred dollar gram blunts Them killers that made popo start up manhunts Take a puff and jot it better than you can, dunce I'll be happy if I only touched a fan once, 'cause [Chorus] All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one All I do is write All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one All I do is light All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one All I do is... All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one [Verse 2] I was chiefin' when I wrote this, forgive me if I go astray You should play this loud while you twist a blunt or if you roll a J This one here is for all my West siders who 'dro sparkin' All my niggas off that east side high like Joe Clark Facing nightmares that really are dreams that grow dark They take a left turn in alleyways where you can smell the meth burn I wonder who they bought it from and just how much the chef earn To make a fiend out some teen that look like Audrey Hepburn Or Steve McQueen, I've seen 'em in a movie once On a late night, was with this bad chick We smoked about two-three blunts Then I made her climax, next week we hit the IMAX But I had to cut her off 'cause she was out for my stacks She wasn't in the gym with me, nor did she drop a gem Witty at the open mic in El's, Royce and Em city I recall Paul telling all three of us in St. Andrew's Hall We would carry Detroit on the small Of our back then put it on the map 'Cause when I rap, I leave circular traces around a clown so fast It's a blur to their faces and stripped focus I came out swinging like a pendulum assistin' in a hypnosis On some "listen closely and do what I say" Run and tell ten of your friends to stream this album all year And while they at it, make sure they tell ten of they co-workers So that they can do the same Put the Dutch to the flame and blow strains [Pre-Chorus] Hundred dollar gram blunts Them killers that made popo start up manhunts Take a puff and jot it better than you can, dunce I'll be happy if I only touched a fan once, 'cause [Chorus] All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one All I do is write All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one All I do is light All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one All I do is... All I do is light one, write one All I do is light one, write one [Outro] Yeah This some strong-ass shit here, man Aw, shit Man, turn this down for these motherfuckers Tell 'em then start fuckin' with me Man, I hope they don't drug test at my job, dawg My motherfuckin' urine test gon' come back lookin' like Italian dressin' in that motherfucker I'm sayin', shit
