The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
In this avenue tonight

When the lightning strikes

Zip gun Johnny's finger is itchin'
Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
They're so ruthless when they fight

When the lightning strikes...Oooooh

And it's a free for all in the parking lot
Tell me who will rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat

And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights

When the lightning strikes

Uum...it's dog eat dog when you're meetin' your rival
In the combat zone it's a means of survival
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
On a cloak and dagger night

When the lightning strikes

Oooh...it's a free for all in the parking lot
Over who'll rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat

And the chains they crash like a thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights

Oooh, oooh...

When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha hear the thunder
When the Lightning Strikes
Can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can'tcha, can'tcha, can'tcha hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes

Ain't taking, nobody back with me
It's on till the end with anybody who want to hit me
Ain't looking back, putting it all on the line
Don't give a fuck, bring the rough one time
And I think we should all get down and busy
Say the four word and you spin until your dizzy
Niggas say who is he, but I'm the ? fact
Same fool that's watching, is the one who stabs your back
So, make a plot, but yo, it's non-stop
Knowing exactly who comes on the block
Take no prisoners, put that in effect
Get the name from your set, and tat it on your neck
Let these know motherfuckers know who got next
Southside represent, I be catching wreck
And show your respect, when you step up to me son
Don't imitate, cuz my style ain't in season
Go back to the lab, upgrade the chump
Get a new ? gun before you get dum dum

[B-Real & Sen-Dog]
Meltdown, taking you home, the unknown
Countdown, hitting the ground, the seeds grown
Downtown, deep in the alley, the dark night
Get's slit up, when lightning strikes
Get up!
Meltdown, taking you home, the unknown
Countdown, hitting the ground, the seeds grown
Downtown, deep in the alley, the dark night
Get's slit up, when lightning strikes
Get up!

[B-Real]
Take a ride
When lightning strikes, city lights are gleaming
No sunshine, no California dreaming
The demon is roaming on the loose, you got juice
Up for abuse, when electric currents are induced
?, rock on, the brain waves
What you clocking, I be dropping the bomb, you getting maimed
The games you play, look up and say you want to change
And rearrange, the strange, you never go the way
Don't look back, forget that, you need that
Just sit back, look at the show, and see that
Display the raw power, black out
Even the score, open the door, and break out
Leave it alone, the unknown fury, blind rage
Move aside, get wise and make the front page
Center stage, you ?, and leave with
Go suffer the pain, leave us alone, or be fixed
The heart beat, pumping your blood, high pressure
Look at you stuck in the mud, bring in the stretcher
Strapped down, ready to roll, the god knows
Tears coming down, the bucking, so ? slow

[B-Real & Sen-Dog]
Meltdown, taking you home, the unknown

Get's slit up, when lightning strikes
Get up!
Meltdown, taking you home, the unknown
Countdown, hitting the ground, the seeds grown
Downtown, hitting the alley, the dark night
Get's slit up, when lightning strikes
Get up!

Lightning strikes when
You walk by and
Sometimes I cannot control it
Making fun of you is
The thundering shower of
A storm on it's way

Ooh, but when you smile
The lightning last for seven miles
Seven miles, seven miles, seven miles
And when you make me laugh
I know this lightning will light

Lightning shines when
You're close to me and
Sometimes I really cannot control it
And sneaking up on you if
The rain drops dew after
A storm is passed away

Ooh, but when you smile
The lightning last for seven miles
Seven miles, seven miles, seven miles
And when you make me laugh
I know this lightning will light

Lightning settles when you speak
And baby, most times I cannot control it
Your voice sounds so sweet when you
Leave a message after my phone's beep
It's just a sign of our storm beginning

Ooh, 'cause when you smile
The lightning last for seven miles
Seven miles, seven miles, seven miles
And when you make me laugh I know
When you're making me laugh I know
When you're making me laugh I know

This lightning will last
It will last
Oh, our lightning will last

Won't you listen 'cos I'm at it again
Lightning striking and on that you can depend
They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice
Gods of thunder sit and watch the event

You know I take no prisoners
My back's to the wall
You know I must be going
When destiny calls
Until I feel that thunder shattering my brain
I won't stop

Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

Tell your mama that you're gonna be late
But not to worry we'll just be rockin' all night
The lightning strikes before you hear the thunder roar
We're becoming the children of the night

I'm not apologizing
I am what I am
There is no compromising
I don't give a damn
Until I feel the thunder boiling in my veins
I won't stop

Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

Oh no I've lost control
Here we go it's only rock 'n' roll

The silver light is flashing
As all turns to gold
In my head voices screaming
And I'm being told
If you will only listen you will hear them too
I won't stop

Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

Listen to me, baby
You got to understand
You're old enough
To know the makings of a man

Listen to me, baby
It's hard to settle down
Am I asking too much
For you to stick around

Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that's you
Won't you wait but til then

When I see lips
Begging to be kissed (stop)
I can't stop (stop)
I can't stop myself (stop, stop)

Lightning's striking again
Lightning's striking again

Nature's taking over
My one-track mind
Believe it or not
You're in my heart all the time

All the girls are saying
That you'll end up a fool
For the time being, baby
Live by my rules

When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I'll make up for all lost time

If she's put together fine
And she's reading my mind (stop)
I can't stop (stop)
I can't stop myself (stop, stop)

Lightning's striking again
Lightning's striking again
And again and again and again

Lightning's striking again
Lightning's striking again

There's a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but til then

If she gives me a sign
That she wants to make time (stop)
I can't stop (stop)
I can't stop myself (stop, stop)

Lightning's striking again
Lightning's striking again
And again and again and again
Lightning's striking again
And again and again and again
