I Need A Light Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I need a light
(Light)
So I can smoke away this [C]pain[D]
I need a drink
(Drink)
So I can drink away this [C]rain[D]

[Verse 2]
Maybe [D]a wife
(Wife)
Somebody to share my [C]name[D]
I need a song
A brand new song to sing
[C][D]

[Verse 3]
Long Beach back in the
day was all hustlin'
Young niggaz in the
neighborhood strugglin'
[C]Prayin' to God we amount to somethin'
By livin' on the [D]street where they
[C]constantly [D]bustin'

[Verse 4]
Big Warren [D]told us that they
can't hold us
Niggaz ain't shit 'till they pass away
So [C]I, watched my step
But when Ola Mae [D]left I was a
mothafuckin' basket case for real

[Verse 5]
God bless me 'Cuz I [D]be on
the east where
they wanna arrest me
I break [C]bread so they wanna
suspect me
But look me in my eyes and say they [D]wanna protect,

[Verse 6]
me yeah
[D]Ruthless, my style as a juvenile
Ran with a gang, got me a profile
[C]As a child in the Beach I was wild
[D]Ready to die and that's why

[Verse 7]
I need a [D]light
(Light)
So I can smoke away this [C]pain[D]
I need a drink
(Drink)
So I can drink away this [C]rain[D]

[Verse 8]
Maybe a [D]wife
(Wife)
Somebody to share my [C]name[D]
I need a song
A brand new song to sing
[C][D]

[Verse 9]
Could it be it was all so simple,
droppin' a slick instrumental
Snoop bustin' 'bout
the shit we went through
[C]Nate singin' 'bout the
city we came [D]from
And niggaz so tight wasn't
nothin' we wouldn't do

[Verse 10]
Time keep slippin' But I [D]ain't trippin'
nigga,
it's all about my children
[C]So you can save that bullshit
'Cuz [D]if I pull my shit, nigga I'ma kill you

[Verse 11]
The streets is watchin' And [D]niggaz fell
victim from
L.A. to Watts and Compton
[C]But life goes on
It's [D]just another song if you ain't

[Verse 12]
to one gone listen
[D]Ruthless, my style as a juvenile
But now I got a brand new G- Child
[C]Big Warren gotta stay trunk tight
'Cuz he [D]got the fly and that's why

[Verse 13]
I need [D]a light
(Light)
So I can smoke away this [C]pain[D]
I need a drink
(Drink)
So I can drink away this [C]rain[D]

[Verse 14]
Maybe a [D]wife
(Wife)
Somebody to share my [C]name[D]
I need a song
A brand new song to sing
[C][D]

[Verse 15]
Listen
Caviar wishes, twistin' stitches,
all out race for the [C]riches
Got a nigga missin' what [D]rich is
And what a life mean if you
do it for the kids

[Verse 16]
It's for my family [D]y'all
Really the only one
who understand [C]me y'all
'Cuz it ain't hard to ball
[D]But then who got ya back
when it's time to fall

[Verse 17]
And it's amazin' To stay [D]up
on top,
your game so close to the [C]pavement
Time brings change in mind
But then [D]don't let the change
bring your mind no time

[Verse 18]
Clearly, [D]a conspiracy
Niggaz right near me but
still ain't hearin' me
[C]That's how it's always gone fly
'Till you [D]ready to die and that's why

[Verse 19]
I need a [D]light
(Light)
So I can smoke away this [C]pain[D]
I need a drink
(Drink)
So I can drink away this [C]rain[D]

[Verse 20]
Maybe [D]a wife
(Wife)
Somebody to share my [C]name[D]
[D]I need a song
