Switch Me Up lyrics
by Eshon Burgundy
[Verse 1: Dre Murray]
He’s at the end of his rope
Searching for a little bit of hope, some meaning
Purpose ain’t clear when I know why he’s here
Is there anybody that can give a reason for breathing?
Lies screaming at him, “You will die here”
‘Cause nobody told him that you can fly here
He’s like “I guess I’ll get high here
Get a couple thrills, make my bed, then lie here”
Yeah, ‘til the dirt hit the box
And them boys pour liquor on the block
I’mma treat the bottom like it’s the top
Little spin and watch, pray to God it don’t stop
Hoping that this is one big dream
And that I’ll feel a kick and wake up with a scream
Staring up from the bottom of the totem
My plan to quote him
Yeah I wish the author would intervene
[Hook: Cam]
I treat the bottom like the top
And the top like the bottom
I try to convince myself that I like it at the bottom
But I’m broken, light switch me up
Light switch me up, light switch me up
In the darkness, light switch me up
Light switch me up, light switch me up
[Verse 2: Swoope]
Good morning, he’s mourning, the casket fresh
Dressed to die, he ain’t left his mattress yet
Slept in his black suit all night he turned and tossed in
A pine box bed that so resembles a coffin
No peace. In his mirror’s a goblin
In his ear is the doctrine that death is the new life
That’s what the grave is trying to get in his head
That every day, here’s the night of the living dead
Zombies whippin’ a hearse with some rims on it
Any time he mentions the church they spit phlegm on it
Them ballin’ sippin’ the embalmment
In his grave but still feel like that him fallen
At night I hear him callin’, “Jesus I need ya”
In my dreams I still hear the screams of the reaper
Think I heard a preacher say he died for people
So please I beseech for release from this evil
[Hook]
I treat the bottom like the top
And the top like the bottom
I try to convince myself that I like it at the bottom
But I’m broken, light switch me up
Light switch me up, light switch me up
In the darkness, light switch me up
Light switch me up, light switch me up
[Verse 3: Dre Murray]
I’m feeling like I’m strike away from the bleachers
One crossover from hanging up the sneakers
Flipping through the tube, yeah another crooked preacher
Water for my problems, the nonsense that they teach us
Left school early, couldn’t deal with the teachers
Just doing a job, they ain’t really tryna reach us
That’s what he yells as he reaches for the reefer
Audio death, full blast from the speaker
And so I speak up
And let him know that I’m not just here to beat the beat up
I’m here to show you, ain’t just hear so you can reap bruh
You gotta sow, you can’t just live with your feet up
You gotta grow and move to your next destination
Man I know a God that can level any level that you’re facing
The Creator that your heart’s been chasing
Living water from the basin, my God is amazing
[Hook] [2x]
I treat the bottom like the top
And the top like the bottom
I try to convince myself that I like it at the bottom
But I’m broken, light switch me up
Light switch me up, light switch me up
In the darkness, light switch me up
Light switch me up, light switch me up
