Light's Out Lyrics


Pressure Verse 1
This whole world's in a rush to be living plush, but never rich enough,
Till that mirrors such a stranger we asking is it us?
Losing your vision, make one stupid decision,
You've become the newest victim of the human condition
It's a crying shame; honestly it's a survival game,
While we die in vein making somebody rich,
Like we scared of taking that step,
Every days just another that escaped us if we don't make an affect,
Back seat revolutionaries ain't lions at heart,
Even the slightest of sparks can light up the dark,
And everybody want a piece of the action,
Like peace and relaxing became a niche for the deceased and the lacking,
Success, pleasures of the flesh and beheld,
Treasures and endless excess in which we measure ourselves,
I've faith in my fam, so I can relate to the fans,
Hope they understand how grateful I am
Chorus

We do it right here, right now,
With my peers, my house,
And fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
Life here, life out,
If I'm a die here with my doubts,
Then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights outPressure Verse 2
And it starts with us, seeking an everlasting rush,
Pharmaceutical market drugs, liquor or grass and dust,
Murder, lust, self-worth, hurt and trust,
Burden us like a curse till we return to dust,
Keeping us on like we're marching to the beat of a gong,
Freedom is from our own hearts and those we leave them upon,
Lingering on through the words that we sing in our songs,
Even a strong foundation we could blink and it's gone,
So we carve out our marks and master our own path,
In a castle of glass our heart where our homes are,
Wars in our vein, that's why we walk in the rain,
Of course if the name burns brighter it was forged in the flame,
And you'll never get a break until your dead or make fifty,
And a pension ain't a pay you resonate with me?
I've faith in my fam, so I can relate to the fans,
I hope they understand how grateful I am
Chorus
We do it right here, right now,
With my peers, my house,
And fight here till the day we're gone and rest in white clouds,
Life here, life out,
If I'm a die here with my doubts,
Then as night nears we're gonna do it till they turn the lights out
We won't go, no we won't go, we won't go, no we won't go,
We won't go, no we won't go, we won't go, no we won't go,
We won't go, no we won't go, we won't go, no we won't go,
We won't go, no we won't go, we won't go, no we won't go

Hilltop Hoods is a hip hop group, formed in 1991, from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Their name refers to Hilltop Road In Blackwood, an Adelaide suburb in which they lived as children, and a part of Adelaide known by all the local B-Boys as The Hilltop. One day, another local rapper, Flak from the Cross Bred Mongrels, said that's what they should call themselves, and the name stuck.

The group formed when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at high school. When they later hooked up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend, the trio was complete.

They were inspired by American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Pete Rock, who encouraged them to spread this style of music in Australia.

The Hilltop Hoods have released eight successful recordings - Back Once Again (EP - 1997), A Matter of Time (LP - 1999), Left Foot, Right Foot (LP - 2001), The Calling (LP - 2003), The Hard Road (LP - 2006), The Hard Road: Restrung (LP-2007) ,State Of The Art (LP - 2009) and Drinking From The Sun (LP - 2012). The Calling achieved gold status in Australia (35,000+ copies sold), the first hip-hop album to do so. Two tracks (The Nosebleed Section and Dumb Enough) received places in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, at 9th and 44th respectively. The Nosebleed Section also came in at number 17 in the Triple J Hottest Hundred Of All Time, making it the highest ranked Australian song on the list, and the only hip-hop track to make the cut. LP The Hard Road also topped the Australian charts, another first for Australian Hip-Hop.


Aside from their own albums, they have featured on a number of highly respected compilation albums, including Obesecity and Culture of Kings Vol. 1 & 2, and have collaborated with most of the main players of the Australian hip hop scene including Koolism, Mass MC, Pegz, Muphin, Layla, Hyjak and Bonez.

They have played many large Australian music festivals, including the Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festivals. They have received nominations for the Best Hip Hop Act in 2001 and 2002 at the 3D World Dance Music Awards, won the APRA award for best up-coming group as well as receiving number one positions in independent charts all around Australia.
