Lighters Up Lyrics - The Naked Truth - Lil' Kim

I come from Bed-Stuy 

Where niggaz either do or they gone die 

Gotta keep the Ratchett close by 

Someone murdered 

Nobody seen, nobody heard it 

Just another funeral service 

Niggaz 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 

Niggaz only grind 'cuz we have to 

Money is power 

Sling crack, weed and powder 

Fiends come through every hour 

It's all about that dollar

Nicki Minaj Drops New Songs 'Barbie Tingz And 'Chun-Li' 

Every Lyric From Cardi B's Debut Album 'Invasion of Privacy' 

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 

It's the land of trouble 

Brooklyn home of the greatest rappers 

BIG comes first then the queen comes after 

Now put your lighters up, Bed-Stuy 

Put your lighters up, New York 

Put your lighters up, D.C. 

Keep putting your lighters up, Philadelphia 

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 

Photos 

Now, let me give you a walk through 

Show you what to do and you don't do 

Where its not safe to go to 

Them boys approach you 

Better say quick who you close to 

Don't come through if niggaz don't 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 niggaz than cancer 

You know who you fuck with 

Brooklyn don't run, we run shit 

Roll up and just bumrush shit 

We don't 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 

Put your lighters up, LA 

Put your lighters up, VA 

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 

Damn homie, I'm so tore 

And I don't think I'm ever gone smoke no more 

And I don't think I'm ever gone drink no more 

But fuck 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 don't think I'm ever gone smoke no more) 

Passing the bub like 

(And I don't think I'm ever gone drink no more) 

Back at the bar like 

(Fuck it, bartender, you can give me one more) 

See, BIG done told you 

I'm the hottest bitch on the planet 

Biggest sex symbol, since Janet 

There's a Nolte bandit 

Laying in the cut like a bandage 

Come through Fulton St. in the vanquish 

Doing them damage 

And if you don't 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 I'mma 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, there's no solution 

Niggaz, still piss in the hallways 

Fiends get high on em' all day 

The youth them bang at the cops off the roof 

If you don't know my town is the truth 

Welcome to Brooklyn 

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 

Damn homie, I'm so tore 

And I don't think I'm ever gone smoke no more 

And I don't think I'm ever gone drink no more 

But fuck 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 don't think I'm ever gone smoke no more) 

Passing the bub like 

(And I don't think I'm ever gone smoke no more) 

Back at the bar like 

(Fuck it, bartender, you can give me one more)
