Song Meaning
KB's "Lights Go Out" builds its chorus around a stark, intimate image: two people standing face to face in the dark, hanging from the stars without a harness. The verses turn that image into a portrait of covenant love, with the rapper pledging everything for his wife — money, comfort, even the hot seat — and promising to sing to her when doctors pull the plug. The second verse widens the frame to the church itself, naming the strange danger of the safest place and confessing how those closest can wound deepest, while still refusing to leave. Lines about a husband's payment covering a shameful past and a vow to protect until Heaven's pavement tie the marriage imagery to Christ's love for His people. The bridge's exchange — "I in you, and you in me" — makes the mutual surrender explicit, and the closing plea to give everything, the good and the not, lands as both a wedding vow and a prayer.

[Justin Ebach:]
When the lights go out it's gonna be me and you
When the lights go out it's gonna be me and you, me and you
Standing face to face in the darkness
Hanging from the stars without a harness
When the lights go out it's gonna be me and you
Me and you, me and you
When I say I'd die for Cece
They don't see what I see
My queen in Queens
Waiting for her prince Akeem
All I do is for Cece
It's all of my L.O.V.E
With her I'll never fail
I promise you feels like P.E
Every line on my E.P. from the mixtapes, singles to C.D.'s
Pray to God she'd see me making sure that she's eating
Highlights me when I'm weak
Highlight of my weekends I need her
Wanna hear her singing in harmonies she's completing
Get depleted
You can take my money, give it all to be with her
When she's under fire, I'ma be in the hot seat with her
Her problems are my problems I wanna weep with her
Every time that doctor pulls the plug I'm gonna sing to her
It's funny how the safest can
Be the most dangerous
Those you love the most can cause you to feel so much hatred
I know you know you I know you know me I am not a stranger
You got me all in my tears was just trying to help the situation
Hurt me more than my enemies ever could but I take it
Leaving no never I never would oh my heart is breaking
Heard you been vacant
When your husband's out on vacation
Your doctrine's changing, hating darker parts of your body that's self hatred
I know your past ain't pretty, so much you ashamed of
Uh, but your husband made a payment
I will protect you til the day you step into Heaven's pavement
We live together, die together, forever singing
[Blanca & KB:]
Only be me and you
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Tomorrow til eternity
I in you, and you in me
All I got, give me all you got
Everything you are, everything you're not
Give me all you got
Give me all you got
Everything you are, everything you're not
