Street Lights Lyrics by Prempeh

Floodgates, Vol. 1

2019

[Verse 1]
Late nights spent walking down all these dead streets
The street lights, they put me where all the dead be
The Dead Sea, how I’m floating, feeling so sober though potent
So I been blessed with the dopeness of both heads, see
My headspace feel clear as ever, my fears irrele-
Vant, feel I can vent to my peers and never my tears'll swell up
But that’s just my state in the present
I know in real times I find that my hate is developed
I can’t think straight, I get stressed, bring it to beat breaks
Cuz in reality no one listens as well as each page
Absorbs every ink drop, and every key press
And every beat drop my mind runnin like it’s the beep test
I destress with my pen, it keep me on track
And brings me peace in its ink with no drawback
And with each piece I’m in sync with my soul
All the ways I could fold, all within my control
So why do I feel alone
[Interlude]
So why do you run?
[Hook]
So why do you run
I’m running from the runners oh
And when is it done
It’s done when all the runners slow
[Verse 2]
I wonder if my homies feel the zen that I pen
Do they listen to every track, hear it for what it is
A portal into the mind of a lost soul
What I would do to feel the feelings I could not know on my own
And that’s if I was ever given the chance
I would be driven to get with em and get into their stance
Fit in their kicks in a minute and be livin in that
Vivid and sans division til our feelings attach
But that’s just me, I been duppy in the dome
Dusty in my soul, just me I’m alone
Confined to all my thoughts in my room in the dark
Sitting on the floor, blank stare at the wall
With my problems that I can’t speak on, it’d be wrong
So I can only vent through these songs and dreams long
Since forgotten in my reckless rockabyes
Of friends departed on my quest to monetize
Guess I’m out of line
[Interlude]
So why do you run?
[Hook]
So why do you run?
I’m running from the runners oh
And when is it done?
It’s done when all the runners slow
So why do you run?
I’m running from the runners oh
And when is it done?
It’s done when all the runners slow
[Beat Switch]
[Verse 3]
Free the caged bird, let it sing
Til my days merge with my dreams
In a place certain to bring peace
And feed me for eternity's lease
That’s a burden-and-hurt-free world
That’s perfect for me
Simple man, simple demands
When peace is a mindstate you can get to it fast
Opened my floodgates to drown out my demons
And though they’re swimming, I’m at ease
Cuz the current, I’m feeding, I’m finna get 'em
I learned a lot in a little time
So I’m putting a lot in limited rhymes
And limiting my pride through written got me feeling alive
And Blue Blooded got me with the divine
