[Intro – Travis Scott energy]
(Yah… woo…)
(It’s lit)
Light up… light up…
Feel that shit?
⸻
[Chorus 1 – Smoking / escape]
Only time I feel relaxed is when I light up
Light up, light up
Light-light-light-light up
Only time my mind go quiet is when I light up
Light up, light up
Light-light-light-light up
Only time I feel I fell relaxed is when I (Let’s go!)
⸻
[Verse 1 – tight, anxious, Ski/Tyler blend]
(Uh) Mind too loud, need smoke for the peace (yeah)
Thoughts run laps, can’t sit in my seat
Ash hit tray, heart finally at ease (breathe)
Fuck the world, let me breathe
Bills still call, stress still knock
Weed slow time, freeze the clock (slow)
Every win heavy, every loss sting
Roll one up, let the chaos shrink (light it)
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Police / sirens]
Rev the engine, watch the dashboard light up
Light up, light up
Blue-red flash in the rear when it light up
Light up, light up
Windows tinted, see the skyline when it light up
Light up, light up
Heart beat matchin’ every siren when they light up
⸻
[Verse 2 – movement, paranoia]
Street too hot, cameras blink
Every mirror make me overthink (damn)
Hands stay steady, foot stay down
I don’t stop when the lights spin round
Fuck that panic, fuck that fear (nah)
I been gone before they get near
By the time they flood that lane (too late)
I’m three exits past have em all looking lame
⸻
[Chorus 3 – Guns / chaos]
Hit the trigger, watch the whole room light up
Light up, light up
Dark hallway flash white when it light up
Light up, light up
One spark turn the blackout light up
Light up, light up
Everybody freeze when the night light up
⸻
[Bridge – Chant breakdown]
Light up! (crowd)
Light up!
Light-light-light-light up!
Fuck it.
Run it back. (run it)
⸻
[Final Chorus – all meanings layered]
Only time I feel relaxed is when I light up
Dash go crazy when the sirens light up
Dark get loud when the whole room light up
Same damn words, different reasons I light up
⸻
[Outro – Tyler deadpan]
Ahahahaha
Funny how one phrase
Can calm me down
Chase me
And make everybody shut the fuck up
(It’s lit.)
