Flashing Lights Lyrics

(Talking: Yeah, yeah, protect and serve)

[Hook]
Flashing Lights, Lights, Lights...
Fl-Flashing, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights...

(I was running from the...)
Flashing, Flashing, Flashing, Lights, Lights, Lights...
Flashing, Flashing, Flashing, Lights, Lights, Lights...


[Verse One: Vic Mensa]
(Whoop, Whoop)
Ya'll know the sound, police flag you down
Lock you up cause they don't want to see you in no cap and gown
Close your mouth and ask around, bodies dropping pass em down
Black on black, black mask, black gat to the black cop mouth full of Black and Mild
Sitting on the corner he black, he used to be black and proud
But now hates black, when he sees them he shoots them blakablow
Homies fade to black we need black suits, like it's back in style
This ain't the 60's nigga, it's now

I'm a child of where the rocks sold and the fathers don't come home
They flash signs only, you either get got or you run home
How to rise high where the sun don't, how to say right when it ain't like..
We say we brothers and niggas hustle for green and blue is their least favorite color
I'm singing one for my mother, they get me tell her I love her
I'm running from undercovers, they shooting and ain't shooting rubber
My legs hitting they buckle, face first screaming "Fuck You"
I always had a knack for getting into trouble
But I guess I'll never know what it feels like
To lose it in real life, they took my homie Rod a year ago and we still cry
Hoping them lights flash cause if them lights flash then maybe then they might save him
Maybe it might happen, watching the night passing and he not breathing
What you mean he's not breathing? Well I'm not laughing, that's just not funny dog
Where's the ambulance are they coming dog? Bro, bro wake up, say something dog...
[Hook]
Flashing Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights...
Fl-Flashing, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights...
(I was running from the...)
Flashing, Flashing, Flashing, Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights...
Flashing, Flashing, Flashing, Lights, Lights, Lights...

[Bridge: Macie Stewart]
Cause what I recall I know you loved to show off
Well I never thought they would take it this far
What do I know, what do I know

[Repeat]
