This song is about Aries maturing from a young, wild, and very sexual person to valuing family, friends and life-long partners. Along the way he makes some enemies but is confident his friends and family have his back no matter what.
[Intro]
When the lights go ou-ou-out
Wo! Wo!
Hm, yeah
Put my phone on fire, I'm oblivious
I could wear this smile with experience
Tell you everything you like, it'll be a while
Got your head on fire, nothing serious
[Verse 1]
She's a west side kitty, bumpin' this ride with me
FaceTime whenever I'm gone out the city
It's a birds-eye sitting on my head like Jimmy
Gone in the tomb with you, how you not see me? (How you not see me?)
When I was young I wanted to bag 'em all
Like 'em skinny or tall, a race to take them off
Search like a hound, where you haven't seen me yet
Put my body in the ground, she's a necrophiliac
[Chorus]
I think I had butterflies for a while now
You say you want it
What a time
When the lights go ou-ou-out (Ooh)
(When the lights go, lights go)
When the lights go ou-ou-out
[Bridge]
Raisin' my stakes, pain on my face
Walkin' out slow, leanin' sideways
Tens, twenties, in advances
I've been the man, homie, out of Kansas
[Verse 2]
But she's a west side kitty, bumpin' this ride with me
FaceTime whenever I'm gone out the city
It's a third-eye sitting on my head like Tien
Lotta foes, lotta friends, blowin' smoke like chimneys
Maybe I could teach you all a difference
Follow me, I'll take you any distance, oh
This my family, my coalition
Who's gon' fuck with me no matter the conditions
(How you not go?)
[Chorus]
Yeah, when it's okay mama
Figured I'd stay longer
Wanna crawl back tomorrow
When the lights go ou-ou-out (Ooh)
(When the lights go, lights go)
When the lights go ou-ou-out
[Outro]
Always talkin' 'bout the sun
What does the sun even mean to you? Huh?
You're inside all day, you don't even see it
