Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/205390
★ chorus ★
Red light
Blue light
Flashing at my black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another black life tonight

Red light
Blue light
Flashing at my black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another black life tonight

Pray i make it home alive tonight
Pray i make it home alive tonight
Pray i make it home alive tonight

★ verse 1 ★
Here we go
License, registration
I got it, i can reach it
But i’m feeling hesitation
Asked if i have drugs or guns
With your condescending smile
If this ain’t profiling then you’re in denial
I know my rights but you want to search my car
And i don’t want end up with a bullet scar
So i’ma let y’all do it, i got nothing
Hoping y’all ain’t planting something
I just wanna wake up home tomorrow

★ chorus ★
Red light
Blue light
Flashing at my black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another black life tonight

I don’t wanna see another
Red light
Blue light
Flashing at my black skin
I’m afraid you might
Take another black life tonight

Pray i make it home alive tonight
Pray i make it home alive tonight

★ verse 2 ★
I’m pondering about the date i went on last night
Feeling kinda stupid thinking it was all right
She told a friend of ours how she thinks i sound white
Because of that i guess i’m not her stereotype
Bet she didn’t know, if she had a telescope
It would show how black i was in front of cop cars
Now i’m in the mirror tryna talk less clearer
Motherfucka, you’s a brotha, don’t pronounce the e’s and r’s

★ chorus ★
Nigga
Nigga
Nigga
Nigga

★ verse 3 ★
There’s something about this dude on facebook that isn’t right
He friended me but always saying shit i don’t like
He seems kinda bitter for some reason
So, i sent a message to check if he’s doing all right
Little did i know, if i had a telescope
It would show something more to his anger that’s caused
He responded “white power, motherfucker, white power”
Then he said the n-word with the e’s and r’s

★ chorus ★
Nigga

Biography

edit bio
Solomon Vaughn (a/k/a Boonie Mayfield and Boon Doc) hails from Colorado, USA and rose to internet stardom after going viral on YouTube performing live hip-hop beats on his MPC 1000. Demonstrating his process of making beats online before doing so became a thing, Boonie helped pave the way for bedroom producers as one of the pioneers of YouTube beat-making videos. For years, his YouTube channel inspired many producers, young and old, to get in touch with their creative potential and inject quality sounds into each musical endeavor.

Throughout 2007-2010, Boon Doc was known for his classic boom-bap and neo-soul beats as well as his highly revered sample-chopping skills that were praised by the likes of Ski Beatz and Warren G. But after his studio was robbed of almost all of his equipment, Boonie re-emerged as a multi-instrumentalist who no longer depended on samples. Fully composing his own music, Boonie’s ever-evolving style encompasses many genres including funk, soul, jazz, blues, progressive rock and cinema along with his roots in hip-hop. And no matter how far his sound steers, the influences of A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, J Dilla, D’Angelo and many other classic hip-hop and neo-soul legends can be traced within the eclectic realm of Boonie Mayfield.

While internationally known as a music producer, Boonie Mayfield is far from “just” anything and has proven himself to be an extremely capable and seasoned emcee, recording artist, songwriter, dancer, video producer and actor.
