must be the lighting

Often said when you second guess your (or someone else's) initial impression of something/someone.

Usually, I find him ugly, but today he's smokin' hot. Must be the lighting.

She looked hot on instagram, but then I met her IRL. Must've been the lighting.

Lighting the Candle

When you're at the crib with your woman and you need to let your homie know that he needs to lay back for a while and stay low.

Don't front bro, I am lighting the candle so you know you gotta stay away until I'm done.

Racist Light

A more subtle and sometimes subconscious level of racism. A person who is Racist Light won't think their disgust of taking a knee or black lives matter is Racist while chanting Blue Lives Matter but at the same time aren't concerned about the police as a mob of white people crush and attack law enforcement. Same happens with how quick they'll assume someone is a terrorist depending on whether the person is Muslim or a white man with an exploding RV

Those that are Racist Light spent months saying cops should shoot first and ask questions later during the black lives matter riots suddenly went silent as insurgents attacked police in the capital. They even were more upset that an insurgent died while breaking in than a cop who was killed

Albuquerque Back-up Light

When you’re banging a chick outside at night , you got her doggy-style. You can a firefly as it flies by, and stick it in her butthole.

As in, “I gave her the ole Albuquerque Back-up Light last night in Anderson’s hay field, it was awesome watching the glow on her perfect apple bottomed ass!”
