LIL' KIM lyrics : "Lighters Up"

[Verse One]
I come from Bed-Stuy
Where ^!$$%z either do or they gone die

Gotta keep the Ratchett close by
Someone murdered
Nobody seen, nobody heard it

Just another funeral service
^!$$%z will get at you
Come through shinin', they yap you

In broad daylight kidnap you
Best get clap through
Police stay on us like tattoos

^!$$%z only grind cuz' we have to
Money is power
Sling crack, weed, and powder

Fiends come through every hour
Its all about that dollar
And we no deal with cowards

Weak lamb get devoured
By the lion in the concrete jungle, the strong stand and rumble
The weak fold and crumble

Its the land of trouble
Brooklyn home of the greatest rappers
BIG comes first then the queen comes after


[Chorus]
Now put your lighters up (Bed-Stuy)

Put your lighters up (New-York)
Put your lighters up (D.C.)
Keep putting your lighters up (Philedelphia)

Put your lighters up (Detroit)
Put your lighters up (Chi-town)
Keep putting them lighters up

No matter where you from, put your lighters up

[Verse Two]

Now, let me give you a walk through
Show you what to do and you dont do
Where its not safe to go to

Them boys approach you
Better say quick who you close to
Dont come through if ^!$$%z dont know you

Cuz' people is talking
The streets is watching
The G's is lurking

Stash the nine in the garbage
The life of a hustla
The life of a gambler

Dice game, kill more ^!$$%z than cancer
You know who you $#&@ with
Brooklyn dont run, we run %#@!

Roll up and just bumrush %#@!
We dont play that
Out in Bk, not at all, For a pound leave your face on the wall

R.I.P in memory of, Never show thy enemies love
We get it on where we live
You better have a pass, when you cross that bridge

Welcome to Brooklyn

[Chorus]

Put your lighters up (L.A.)
Put your lighters up (V.A.)
Put your lighters up (Texas)

Keep putting your lighters up (New Orleans)
Put your lighters up (St.louis)
Put your lighters up (A-T-L)

Keep putting them lighters up
No matter where you from, Put your lighters up


[Bridge]
Damn homie I'm so tore
And I dont think I'm ever gone somke no more

And I dont think I'm ever gone drink no more
But $#&@ it bartender you can give me one more
(We in the club like) Damn homie I'm so tore

(Lighting the dutch like) And I dont think I'm ever gone somke no more
(Passing the bub like) And I dont think I'm ever gone smoke no more
(Back at the bar like) $#&@ it bartender you can give me one more

[Verse Three]

See, BIG done told you
Im the hottest (*##$ on the planet
Biggest sex symbol, since Janet
Theres a Nolte bandit
Laying in the cut like a bandage

Come through Fulton St. in the vanquish
Doing them damage
And if you dont understand it
Then let me give it to you in spanish
Soy la senorita mas Linda del barrios y lo es abo tu eres despacio

Still over in Brazil, Sipping Mescotto
You must of forgot though
So Imma' take you back to the block yo
Put you on to how we rock yo
Some are boosting

12-year olds prostituting
Hit-men hired for execution, Theres no solution
^!$$%z still piss in the hallways
Fiends get high on em' all day
The youth them bang at the cops off the roof
If you dont know my town is the truth

Welcome to Brooklyn

[Chorus]
Now put your lighters up (New Jersey)
Put your lighters up (Boston)
Put your lighters up (B-More)
Keep putting your lighters up (Miami)

Put your lighters up (Puerto Rico)
Put your lighters up (Kingston, Jamaica)
Keep putting them lighters up
No matter where you from, Put your lighters up

[Repeat Bridge]
