Are you asking about your check brake light?
 
If its the e-brake indicator light your talking about you can try putting a pair of vise grips on the cable right before it enter the drum and hit the vise grips witha hammer to release the e-brake. If it doesn't go off then you'll have to take the drums off and make sure they're released.

If you think you've been driving around with the ebrake stuck on you might want to take the drums off anyway to check everything. It wont hurt to lube the e-brake cables either.
 
Oh yeah, if its the check brake light thats on, your first step would be checking the fluid in the master cylinder.

If you've already got your lift on, did you adjust the e-brake cable to compensate for the axle being further away?
 
the switch for the e-brake light is on the "hand" lever as long as that is all the way down it should not trip the brake light. check the level in the master if thats good try unpluging the senser from the master and see if you jump the light goes off if yes it may be a senser
