You ever ever have
Someone say something to you
And you wasn't sure how to react
Racism is it really real
Or is it just how some people feel
These are some questions that I have
Even though it don't add up like math
Never happen to you can't understand
Does more than testin your soul as a man
Now here's a story you need to get with
That happened at the nine to five with Meredith
I'm in the dish room last of the dishes
Thinking bout goals how long the list is
Next thing Meredith asks out the blue
If I turn off the lights can I see you
My mind start processin what she said
I play it again in my head what she said
Then I ask her what did she say
She turned off the lights in the room no way
As she turned the lights back on, she starts laughin
She starts laughin, she starts laughin
She could see me because of the bright apron
That what she said cuz that's her statement
All I think about is how I love rappin
And how this career will support my rappin
Last thing I can do is reply with action
Gotta keep focus pursuin my passion
Lookin at Meredith and I say
I don't do racist comments okay
Leave the dish room and now in the bathroom
Ten minutes left and it will be here soon
About to drive off sittin in my car
And I say to myself show them who you are
Next thing I know I turn off my car
Next thing I know the door's ajar
Next thing I know dat I walking
And hear a sound that says I just locked my car
Talk to leadership and it John
Told him what happened and what goin on
One thing John showed me he care
Emailed store leadership now they aware
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights,
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the lights
I am on shift it is the next day
Five minutes in HR takes me away
Now I'm in office and they ask what happen
So I explain the story and what happen
I could tell she was upset and surprised
Took off her glasses a look in her eyes
She spoke of humiliation I felt
And proud how I handled the cards that I was dealt
Asked did I want to write a written statement
Grabbed the pen and the paper ink I'm placin
I put my written statement down on file
I wanted to but I could not show smile
First time a company had my back
Meredith sent home right after that
Back in the dish room doin the dishes
Puttin in that work handlin my business
You gotta know that you can't talk like dat
And don't think consequences don't come with that
Took it upon myself teach her a lesson
Racism is a curse it ain't a blessin
Thinkin it's funny it's definitely not
People lookin like me everyday killed by cops
And I'm supposed to just laugh at that
And how you think my dark brown skin is black
Two days later I come into work
Overheard Meredith called outta work
To me that sounds about right
I know she ain't call out that night
They told her don't come in no hesitation
They have her under investigation
Friday comes one day after that
She terminated that is that
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights,
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the lights
People who know the old me know I snap
They surprised I didn't go and do dat
Haven't been on job six months
Been tested a few times more than once
I will never do anything to lose this job
This job is better than my last job
Understand the consequences involved
And how it leads to me and how I evolve
Now I'm aligned with my own destiny
I know who I am and I know who I can be
Nothin from this world will be able to stop me
Cuz my future's so bright that I can't even see
Now I'm aligned with my own destiny
I know who I am and I know who I can be
Nothin from this world will be able to stop me
Cuz my future's so bright that I can't even see
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights, turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the
Turn off the lights,

Turn off the lights
Turn off the, turn off the lights
