Lighters Up - Nationwide Version

I come from Bed-Stuy
 Where niggas either do or they gon' die
 Gotta keep the Ratchett close by
 Someone murdered
 Nobody seen, nobody heard it
 Just another funeral service
 Niggas 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
 Niggas only grind 'cause we have to
 Money is power
 Sling crack, weed and powder
 Fiends come through every hour
 It's all about that dollar
 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
 Now, let me give you a walk through
 Show you what to do and you don't do
 Where it's not safe to go to
 Them boys approach you
 Better say quick who you close to
 Don't come through if niggas don't know you
 'Cause people is talking
 The streets is watching
 The D's is lurking
 Stash the nine in the garbage
 The life of a hustler
 The life of a gambler
 Dice game, kill more niggas 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 (L.A.)
 Put your lighters up (V.A.)
 Put your lighters up (Texas)
 Keep putting your lighters up (New Orleans)
 Put your lighters up (St. Louis)
 Put your lighters up (ATL)
 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 gon' smoke no more
 And I don't think I'm ever gon' 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 gon' smoke no more) passing the bub like
 (And I don't think I'm ever gon' 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
 The Zanotti 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 señorita más linda del barrios
 Y lo es abo tu eres despacio
 Still over in Brazil, sipping Mescotto
 You must've forgot though
 So I'ma 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
 Niggas, still piss in the hallways
 Fiends get high on 'em all day
 The youth them bang at the cops off the roof
 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 gon' smoke no more
 And I don't think I'm ever gon' 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 gon' smoke no more) passing the bub like
 (And I don't think I'm ever gon' drink no more) back at the bar like
 (Fuck it, bartender, you can give me one more) see
