歌词
Big city cruising downtown 11pm
hit up a slice of pizza as I passed the Coliseum
Cops looking shady so pretend I didn’t see them
plus they looking like they bout to stop a brother in his B.M.
Strolling past a couple, publicly display affection
approach me on the subtle now they asking for directions
thanked me so politely then they went along they merry
now I’m feeling legendary as I passed the library
I’m in the mood to party to participate in fun
I wanna call somebody but my minutes straight done
reach inside my pocket only find a stick of gum
and begging for some money in the corner is a bum
had to shrug my shoulders cos I guess I’m running empty
admiring apartments can’t imagine what the rent be
now I pass a bar,
plus a young couple playing music in their car,
my crib ain’t too far
See some troublemakers ain’t about me getting caught up
stepped inside a store so I could get some bottled water
paid with my card plus I bought a pack of Marlborough
carried on home as I’m walking past a Starbucks
music on my CD so I’m walking and I’m vibin’
soon to be drowned by an Ambulance siren
Shorty just passed and she looking mad pretty
and this is what you get taking a walk around the city,
city nights
City nights are nothing but alright,
[here we go yo]
city nights,
[we don’t stop yo]
city nights
city nights are nothing but alright
[here we go yo]
city nights,
[we don’t stop yo]
city nights
city nights are nothing but alright
[here we go yo]
city nights,
[we don’t stop yo]
city nights
My E.T.A. is just approximately five minutes
working on an album so I’m thinking on some lyrics
is there any point? I got no instrument to write em’
reaching for a smoke, I got no instrument to light em’
damn! As I’m getting older I’m forgetting
cutting through the park and so I’m watching where I’m stepping
heading home to finish up the food that I was prepping
then to chill and watch a movie probably pull out Lethal Weapon
on the other hand I’m thinking bout hitting a party
and talking to some women after downing a Bacardi
hopefully I’ll score and wont be sleeping on a solo
with a last night yes and tomorrow morning no-no
just a couple minutes, I’ll be home with a decision
street lights out so I’m straining on my vision
pocket vibrating so my telephone is ringing
Mikey hit me up and said “I’m local,
what you drinking?”
I told him I was out and bout to meet him round the corner
I need to use your phone I got this chick I need to call her
made a U-Turn as I head to meet my cousin
buying up the beverages they cheaper by the dozen
get spruced up then we hit the night lights
hit the night life like I hit the mic right
now we in a bar putting down the nitty-gritty
make connections like in MIDI as we chilling in the city,
city nights
City nights are nothing but alright,
[here we go yo]
city nights,
[we don’t stop yo]
city nights
city nights are nothing but alright
[here we go yo]
city nights,
[we don’t stop yo]
city nights
city nights are nothing but alright
[here we go yo]
city nights,
[we don’t stop yo]
city nights
