Lighters Up Songtext
von Bone Thugs‐n‐Harmony

Well, today, it ain′t your ordinary messed up
Stressed out, need to smoke a blunt, rainy day outside
This morning, it's a different kind of gloomy ′cause we
Lost another homie, so we running at the graveyard line
Walk slow
Why did it have to happen?
I don't know
Don't know why he had to die, I don′t
I could really use a blunt to smoke right now
Life ain′t really fun no more
I need out now
I try to get a grip and get myself together
But then I kinda lose it when I see my nigga's mother
And that′s when I look over and I seen this little brother
And I swear the little nigga had revenge in his eye
Everything has been grim here
Gonna be like that without him here
I guess I got plenty of time to find my
Mind and try to forget we ever been here
I could probably say I knew 100 niggas' names on the wall


Trained in the struggle, slain in the dark
It′s real in the hood
Either niggas die or niggas get caught, detained in the war
So it don't really matter everything is all fucked up
I′ma spend mine getting high
Light it and we hit it, now we reminiscing
Everybody lighters to the sky
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters go up, lighters stay up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters stay up, lighters go up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters go up, lighters stay up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters stay up, lighters go up, up
Put your lighters in the sky
The young niggas that died
The young niggas that tried
Wasn't meant to survive
And in the midst of demons, I heard
Them screaming, asking why to God
On Pac and Eazy, this shit ain't easy, nigga, life is hard
All the joy and the pain
Sunshine through the rain
Young nigga play the game
Shit′ll never be the same
Get money, fuck the fame
Stay away from the lames
Gotta create your own lane
Be a leader and use your own brain, my nigga, come on
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters go up, lighters stay up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters stay up, lighters go up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters go up, lighters stay up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters stay up, lighters go up, up
We gon′ make sure we keep your legacy alive
We gon' represent your name, won′t change how we ride
Lighters go up, up
Lighters go up, lighters go up, up
Lighters go up, lighters go up, up
Lighters go up, lighters go up, up
Lighters go up, up
For all my niggas that died
Put your lighters in the sky
For all my niggas that tried
Put your lighters in the sky
For everybody that you love
Put your lighters in the sky
Dark angels up above
Put your lighters in the sky
Let's ride
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters go up, lighters stay up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters stay up, lighters go up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters go up, lighters stay up
Lighters up, lighters up
Lighters stay up, lighters go up, up
