[Chorus: J Delice]

Every^✦ single block, all these fucking^✦ cops

Damn my nigga,^✦ they won't leave me alone^✦

Harass^✦ a nigga^✦ when he walking^✦ home

All I see is lights glowing,^✦ glowing^✦

Glow, glow, glow, glow

All I see is lights glowing,^✦ glowing^✦

Glow, yea yea yea

All I see is lights glowing^✦

[Verse 2: Styles P]

Every^✦ other^✦ block, all I see is fuck the cops

And they want a nigga^✦ locked,^✦ I'm just tryna^✦ light this pot

What you jealous^✦ of these knots? But I work hard for it

Strive to be a rapper^✦ even^✦ prayed to God for it

Make a little money,^✦ throw you in the yard for it

Want me small time so I got large for it

Now you could hit a lick or you could flip a brick

But stay away^✦ from rats and the Jake up on the strip

Think you don't give a fuck, but the judge don't give a shit

And that jail time will hurt you and your families^✦ on the fritz

Yea I rather^✦ play the Ritz, legal^✦ money^✦ when they blitz

I'm no longer^✦ selling raw, I was on the tour with Kiss

I was on the tour with Sheek, six figures^✦ in the week

Seven^✦ figures^✦ in the month, you ain't really^✦ got the geek

You ain't really^✦ got the trip, cause the whip is on fleek

That was young boy talk but got a lawyer^✦ I could reach

Ghost

[Chorus: J Delice]

Every^✦ single block, all these fucking^✦ cops

Damn my nigga,^✦ they won't leave me alone^✦

Harass^✦ a nigga^✦ when he walking^✦ home

All I see is lights glowing,^✦ glowing^✦

Glow, glow, glow, glow

All I see is lights glowing,^✦ glowing^✦

Glow, yea yea yea

All I see is lights glowing^✦

[Verse 3: Scarface]

Fuck the police^✦ coming straight from the under^✦ privileged

Niggas^✦ in my neighborhood period^✦

Serious,^✦ hate for the dark complected

Piggy^✦ who you talking^✦ to? I am not a jigaboo

And this is not the sixties,^✦ let 'em come get me

I am not scared^✦ of 'em, I have never^✦ fled from 'em

Never^✦ will still whitey^✦ wants to kill all niggas^✦ that will not run

Freedom’s got a shotgun

Ask Kay Slay, my niggas^✦ carry^✦ AK

Automatic rifles, I ain't gotta^✦ like you

Tell you what I might do, call to the hood

Tell 'em televise the revolution, fuck it, this is our hood

Why you targeting my people? Nah, we ain't equal^✦

Suppose a nigga^✦ stole you to keep you

Underneath the bottom of his feet

Dude, the father^✦ of it all was a black man, fuck y'all

[Chorus: J Delice]

Every^✦ single block, all these fucking^✦ cops

Damn my nigga,^✦ they won't leave me alone^✦

Harass^✦ a nigga^✦ when he walking^✦ home

All I see is lights glowing,^✦ glowing^✦

Glow, glow, glow, glow

All I see is lights glowing,^✦ glowing^✦

Glow, yea yea yea

All I see is lights glowing^✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Want me small time so I got large for it"

① The systemic desire to keep the narrator in poverty (small time).② The reaction of achieving significant financial or status-based success (getting large) in defiance of that containment.

"I rather play the Ritz, legal money when they blitz"

① A literal reference to staying at luxury hotels (The Ritz) as a sign of success.② A linguistic play on the contrast between high-status comfort and the 'blitz' or rapid-fire police incursions in the street environment.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency

Authentic, grounded narrative voice

Strong use of internal rhyme to maintain forward momentum

Reliance on somewhat conventional street tropes

Limited metaphorical expansion

Vocabulary choices remain within a standard register
