Westside Gunn "KITCHEN LIGHTS" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified

Westside Gunn stopped by the Genius Verified office to discuss his latest hit "KITCHEN LIGHTS." The DJ Benoit produced track features Stove God Cooks and is off the Griselda curator's latest project, And Then You Pray For Me.
Gunn says this song is a special moment on that LP. "The rest of the album, we having fun," he explains. "But I need to kinda also let y'all in a little bit. Get a little personal." The track details Westside's upbringing in a powerful way, but it also features his passion for fashion and much more.

[@Whodnl]

This song makes me wanna turn on the kitchen lights and contemplate how far we made it

[@musaka2022]

When the lights off and you feel that warm sensation you know it's real hip hop!!!!!! Just like the good old day of when ur celly play hide and seek when everyone else asleep !!!! And you debut your new dress that rebels against all fashion to Big Shirley in the showers!!!!! This that 90's feel drop the soap real deal I feel you!!!!!!!!

[@DreadZelliniDesu]

@@musaka2022🤣🤣🤣🤣 ffs

[@Akirasloss]

Bro this song is phenomenal from the beats to the verses. Felt every word Stove god said

[@kareem8064]

Just wondering what was your favorite bar? It really hit home when he said 'the ones prayin that I fall the ones that say they love me'

[@Trey-dg8yw]

The high note when he said i aint sellin nothing but the whole thing was amazing

[@bal_main]

@@kareem8064 everything i whip is, like my wrist is, way ahead of its time food for thought and the dishes like Pete Maravich's

[@musaka2022]

Fcats Bro!!!!! When the Big Bro Wess said "Balenciaga stockings on like I'm at Edward Bucks, Pysce I am there witch my meat tuuuuuuccckkkkedddd " That was super hot bars and lyricism homie I felt it!!!!!! Then when he said "Prada tank I rolled up for my celly, I drop it low and let the CO search my caaaaavvvviiiityyyyy" That was bars yo!!!!!! Real spill!!!!!

[@jaideveremy4371]

This guy deserves to be mainstream he made boom bap into a bigger level

[@dcdotjah.]

he should but he knows he’s gonna have to sellout. he’s better off collaborating with bigger artist like he did with trav and jid

[@peppermatch2984]

he is mainstream

[@enima8055]

@@dcdotjah.would we be mad tho ? If he sells out… he gave us what he claims he does , he’ll change at some point

[@musaka2022]

He brought back that 90's boom bap Homoerotica son!!!!!!!

[@albertsain5140]

theres barely any boom bap on his new album tho

[@sasquatch.8]

One of the most beautiful produced songs of this decade

[@twig6036]

Most people don't understand this peace of art that he gives us

[@sizwemthembu8362]

That's the thing tho right? Not everyone can go into a museum.. Not everyone understand the same art

[@musaka2022]

Facts King!!!!! Some people would know the waft of their celly's smegam if it hit them between the eyes!!!!!! Most these dudes never wore no Chanel or Julia Lang!!!!! And they for sure never debuted their hand made matching Avirex bra and bottoms in the showers for the boys!!!!!!!!!! Definitely never reached under the table on the dance floor to grab their cellys junk with a hand full of oil from a tin of mackerel, nah mean!!!! This only for the cultured!!!! @@sizwemthembu8362

[@tycoley2435]

West so underrated as a MC. It’s crazy

[@itsjamilagain]

He and Action Bronson. *Very* similar styles and flows between the two, and phenomenal wordplay. Type of guys that when you go on Genius, you realize even their most basic bars had multiple meanings.

[@DYL151]

Easily one of the best songs of the year.

[@leejones8977]

This is HANDS DOWN THE BEST EPISODE THEY'VE EVER DONE

[@Soffish583822]

Man been at the forefront of the sound for over a decade, people now catching up, and I'm glad cus this genius deserves all praise

[@fortfree]

GET STOVE GOD COOKS HERE! LET HIM EXPLAIN THE WITCHCRAFT HE'S PERFORMING ON THIS SONG. HE GOT MY SPEAKERS AND MY SOUL LEVITATING WIITH THAT HOOK AND VERSE.

[@MFBloosh]

"And we gon be alright if we put Stove on every hook." - Westside Gunn, probably.

[@DTecksVision]

This guy still gives me hope in HIP HOP 🙏🏾🔥

[@OTISDAPRODUCER]

Glad We Letting Him Know The Song He Did In The Album That Has His Sound Is The Biggest Song from it💯🔥

[@brianplato3932]

[@shekhan4678]

Stove God's hook on this song craaaazy good

[@DomePieceRecka]

New fans don’t even understand how good they were 2015-2019. Def got more complacent and less hungry as the years go on never the less great music

[@fatgangandrew958]

That's a fact I feel like conway has been the most inconsistent

[@itsjamilagain]

I STRONGLY disagree. Griselda is on fire. Rome Streetz NEVER disappoints, and Benny isn't far behind. Only one I really can't get behind is Boldy James.

[@ColdBergenBallz]

This man make me wantbto live outside my budget

[@LilSwagAlot]

Should’ve had Stove God too his verse is insane
