[Intro]
Let me know
Do I still got time to grow?
Things ain't always set in stone
That be known let me know
Let me
[Chorus]
Seems like street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments, passing, in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See, I know my destination, but I'm just not there

Just like moments, passing, in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See, I know my destination, but I'm just not there
[Refrain]

In the streets
I'm just not there in the streets
I'm just not there
Life's just not fair
[Chorus]
Seems like street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments, passing, in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See, I know my destination, but I'm just not there
All the street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments, passing, in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See, I know my destination, but I'm just not there
All the street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments, passing, in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See, I know my destination, but I'm just not there
[Refrain]
In the streets
In the streets
I'm just not there in the streets
I'm just not there
Life's just not fair
Life's just not fair

Recently, I decided to delve back into the Kanye collection and I quickly realized that it made sense that it was one of my favorite albums when I was younger because that shit is powerful. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be an adult when that shit came out but “Street Lights” goes cra...
