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 pa** 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 n***a, 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 n***as 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 "f** 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 pa**ing 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...

[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]
