[Intro]
Yeah…
Ayy, Motel 6…
You ever heard of sleep?
Turn. That. Shit. Off.
[Verse 1]
Pulled in late, red eyes, 2 A.M.
Neon buzzing like it hate my REM
Curtains thin, light cut through the seams
Feels like the sun tryna fight my dreams
Parking lot glowing like a crime scene
Every bulb screaming “WE DON’T SLEEP”
I’m dead tired, road worn, beat to death
But the room lit up like a FEMA test
They say “We’ll leave the light on”—cool slogan
But I’m staring at the ceiling, eyes open
Every damn lamp feel personal now
Like it’s mocking me, laughing out loud
[Hook]
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
I’m tryna rest my mind, not fight the night
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
I paid for a room, not a spotlight
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
Every bulb yelling when I need quiet
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
Motel 6, I’m sick of it—TURN THAT SHIT OFF
[Verse 2]
Hallway glowing like a spaceship dock
Door cracks shine like a ticking clock
Ice machine hum like a demon chant
Vending machine plotting my descent
Streetlamp peeking through the blinds
Like it’s checking if I’m still alive
I done drove five states, caffeine rage
Body screaming, brain in airplane mode
But the sign outside still burning red
Like it’s tryna live rent-free in my head
I ain’t scared of the dark, I fear this glow
Artificial suns everywhere I go
This ain’t hospitality, it’s a test
How long till a grown man snaps from stress?
[Hook]
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
I’m tryna close my eyes, not see my life
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
Why the parking lot brighter than daylight?
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
I don’t need hope glowing all night
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
Motel 6, I’m sick of it—TURN THAT SHIT OFF
[Bridge – Half-Time, Menacing]
Who sleeping good? ‘Cause it ain’t me
Every watt feel like it watching me
Flip the switch, let the shadows breathe
I need darkness like I need peace
[Verse 3]
I ain’t asking for luxury suites
Just a room where my eyelids meet
Kill the glow, dim the world, let me be
I don’t need guidance, I need sleep
If the light stay on, I might lose it
Rip the curtains down, go caveman stupid
This a public service announcement, please
Darkness is a human need
[Final Hook – Shouted / Gang Vocals]
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
TURN OUT THE LIGHT
MOTEL 6—TURN OUT THE LIGHT
[Outro]
Yeah…
Leave the light on?
Nah.
Leave me alone.
