LyricMeaning

Light A L
Joell Ortiz

Man y'all niggas don't know me, let me finish my water

So much more to me, I feel like I oughta

Tell you all about the minority from the corner

Just tryna make some money to feed my daughter

Well in my case, two sons, in the hood with loose crumbs

And niggas that should be hooked on phonics

Hooked to new guns, even the police shoots them

This where the Puerto Rican member of that group from

Half gallons of cognac, on the train car packed

Headed up to the Deuce to bring some broads back

Poof, get into somethin', where my hawk at?

Ooh this finna get disgusting

Man all you fake hood niggas, boy y'all ain't missin' nothin'

We bring gun barrels to fights

I miss my cousin, they did him like Harold at the light

But we rode down on that nigga like Cam'Ron on that bike

Tryna get paid in full, my trays was full

A half moon made my fade look cool, a younger Yaowa

Sunflower seeds, house keys in the Eddie Bauer

Hood top to bottom, pass the bottle around

Everybody tap the bottom, take out my tops and bottoms


[Hook:]

Light a L in the staircase and start a cypher

Freestylin' made my bars get tighter

I 'member the time I'd say, Yo spark the lighter

Breathe in these trees and start a forest fire

Niggas went crazy, then I got my ass whipped for pullin' an all nighter

Helped tag in the lumber yard

Me and Hunt threw the Ps, cops and robbers

In the stairs, man I see it like I'm there, swear to fuckin' God

Growin' up, it was fuckin' hard

But that's why I'm fuckin' hard


[?] in the summer, low whites under

More sun, more aggie, more fights, none of

Them bitches wanted it but Leisha, man she throw that thunder

Grease on her face, scarfed up in the Polo pajamas

Johnny pump open, wet your car, get bold if you wanna


Will wet your car with somethin' different, roll back 'round that corner

Hip-hop with Mellie then hit pot and scaley

Then sneak up to my roof and get sick mop from Shelly

I'm a project nigga, in my project lobby

Takin' project pictures with my project army

Standin' in the hall and lighin' candles for the fallen

Reminiscin', sippin', snifflin', and missin' all them

Hide piece and butter, come and get your supper

A game of steel and bacon, niggas waitin' on their number

I remember when it was hard if you could go outside

You was watchin' from your window, nigga


[Hook:]

Light a L in the staircase and start a cypher

Freestylin' made my bars get tighter

I 'member the time I'd say, Yo spark the lighter

Breathe in these trees and start a forest fire

Niggas went crazy, then I got my ass whipped for pullin' an all nighter

Helped tag in the lumber yard

Me and Hunt threw the Ps, cops and robbers

In the stairs, man I see it like I'm there, swear to fuckin' God

Growin' up, it was fuckin' hard

But that's why I'm fuckin' hard


Dutch paper

Incinerator

Elevators

Nosey neighbors

Guns barkin'

Cops barkin'

Dogs barkin'

My mom's barkin'


Aye fellas I gotta get out of here, man, my mom's trippin'. I'm comin' up now. I'd like to thank everybody in Cooper Projects, Brooklyn for turnin' that little boy into the man that I am today. Yeah me no play
