Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down |
| [00:27.984] |
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down |
| [00:31.150] |
Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down |
| [00:34.256] |
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down |
| [00:37.533] |
The schoolyard reeks of sewage, broken pipes, broken promise |
| [00:40.542] |
The thin man staggers lucid for this time of night |
| [00:42.822] |
Drying vomit dangles from the beard, step, mumble, shuffle, trip |
| [00:46.358] |
But the trajectory is clear, he's headed for the covered steps |
| [00:49.491] |
Tut, tut, it looks like rain |
| [00:51.385] |
He remembers A. A. Milne each time the sky is this kind of grey |
| [00:54.223] |
That or his favorite film, Gene Kelly |
| [00:56.362] |
Leaping Technicolor through the fray and feeling glorious |
| [00:58.514] |
The story is an allegory for his days, but night is coming now |
| [01:02.124] |
Vials snap, aluminum sounds |
| [01:04.156] |
Fibers slap as drops descend on tall cans |
| [01:06.251] |
It's all hands on deck to chase the pain away |
| [01:08.396] |
Dealers rockin' parkas with plenty pockets for product |
| [01:11.350] |
The money, horrors, the logic and babies holler from colic |
| [01:14.633] |
The symphony is tectonic, it shifts as the Earth is settlin' |
| [01:17.871] |
Precious metals are mined |
| [01:19.482] |
And a million minds have been meddlin' with time |
| [01:21.436] |
In the hopes of getting a golden noose for the neck |
| [01:23.891] |
Golden goose from a fairy tale, shittin' Fabergé eggs |
| [01:27.106] |
Here snitches shit bricks, then quick to talk Pig Latin |
| [01:30.299] |
That black dart too slick for that kid tappin' a window |
| [01:33.397] |
While lookin' over his shoulder, stop lookin' over your shoulder |
| [01:36.213] |
You're never caught from behind as long as you keep movin' forward |
| [01:39.292] |
They long for the sleep like they mortal, these zombies |
| [01:41.765] |
But they got this portal in their minds |
| [01:43.257] |
And the molecules get rewired every trip they takin' through time |
| [01:46.052] |
And they trippin' nightly, the blacks of the eyes igniting |
| [01:48.815] |
The pits in the backyard biting, the cats in the trashcan fighting |
| [01:52.029] |
The feeling of guns pealing like bells in a telltale reeling |
| [01:55.248] |
Of bodies losing they feeling and falling down and the ceiling |
| [01:58.249] |
Is black from the smoke that's rising, the scent is just so enticing |
| [02:01.271] |
Descent is a small price for the right to live out your vices, now |
| [02:04.676] |
Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down |
| [02:07.590] |
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down |
| [02:10.584] |
And every night after the club it goes down |
| [02:13.756] |
Plenty, plenty, mo' rounds, bodies, bodies on the ground |
| [02:16.856] |
On Broadway or Main Street they all stumble out |
| [02:19.981] |
To a dozen pairs of hands pullin' bottles from they mouths |
| [02:23.038] |
Hotties hardly walk now, everybody passed out |
| [02:26.202] |
In the backseat of the taxi, so they never heard a sound |
| [02:29.266] |
It's the city and the city and you only see one |
| [02:32.389] |
And it all looked pretty when it all begun |
| [02:35.575] |
But the shit has got to balance on the barrel of a gun |
| [02:38.539] |
All the money in the world ain't gonna stop none of |
| [02:42.006] |
That gangsta shit, that gangsta shit |
| [02:44.811] |
The whole world lovin' that gangsta shit |
| [02:47.747] |
Can't change this shit, it's dangerous |
| [02:51.094] |
But it really ain't nuttin' to a gangsta |
| [02:54.013] |
*****, what you know about that? Don't act like a newbie |
| [02:55.940] |
New D boys get jacked, what you need is a New Jack Swing |
| [02:58.362] |
And a new truly discerning taste for the base, like a foodie |
| [03:00.698] |
Harmony's cruelly high when it's on his step |
| [03:02.620] |
Stepped on dope is a safety net |
| [03:04.279] |
And the dope fiends cry but they don't regret |
| [03:05.800] |
Everyone get high, go out 'til they |
| [03:07.439] |
Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down |
| [03:10.139] |
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down |
| [03:12.911] |
Why you fightin' all the shit that make the world go 'round? |
| [03:15.955] |
World go 'round, world, world go 'round |
| [03:19.177] |
Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down |
| [03:22.479] |
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down |
| [03:25.604] |
Turn the lights off, they done shut the club down |
| [03:28.761] |
Shut the club down, shut the, shut the club down |
| [03:31.622] |
It's the city and the city and you only see one |
| [03:34.950] |
And it all looked pretty when it all begun |
| [03:37.872] |
But the shit has got to balance on the barrel of a gun |
| [03:40.814] |
All the money in the world ain't gonna stop none of |
| [03:44.397] |
That gangsta shit , that gangsta shit |
| [03:46.924] |
The whole world lovin' that gangsta shit |
| [03:50.122] |
Can't change this shit , it's dangerous |
| [03:53.330] |
But it really ain't nuttin' to a gangsta |
| [03:56.605] |
Got the twenties and the fifties wrapped up under all the ones |
| [03:59.714] |
Two for twenty, five for fifty, you could move a couple tons |
| [04:02.863] |
You could put it in the blood or you could put it in the lungs |
| [04:05.863] |
But, whatever you cough up, remember that it all begun with |
| [04:08.910] |
That gangsta shit , that gangsta shit |
| [04:12.552] |
The whole world lovin' that gangsta shit |
| [04:15.260] |
Can't change this shit , it's dangerous |
| [04:18.488] |
But it really ain't nuttin' to a gangsta |
