City Nights

about

Showing my love to the greatest city in the world, while calling out to all the artists out there. We in there together. Production of this beat was inspired by the chilled out vibe the West Coast is on. Hook written by Nancy Yi.

lyrics

Big Apple. 3AM.

Cruising through the city
In a faded roys
Billie Jean
Michael Jay
Call it
Eighties noise
She asking for the song
I’m the lady’s choice
Don’t use the hand
This ain’t a baby’s toy
Write with the mind
Speak with the heart
Hold up,
Let’s restart
I’ll spit that sixteen slow
If I be the king
This where the queens go
It’ll be in the heat
of the best
Everything I see
In the LES
Create a world of fiction
As vibrant as my addiction
Stars in the sky
I learned to fly there
And when they fall down
My high is
Times squared
Don't get blinded by the people
Beneath it we all be see-thru
Indeed we could all be equal
But we focus on the different
And This is how we move the east coast
We walk on broken backs just to seize throats
Help me turn the Hudson River into wine
if you been stepped on before
Ill deliver you the spine

City nights
Can't nothing hold us down
We bout that life
City lights
Ain't nothing bright as us
We own the night

718
212
When opportunity is calling me
I’m calling you
This is how we scrape the sky
Everyone is on the roof
However even the tallest tower can be falling too
The bigger the pride the higher the weight
When they occupied the streets
Who won the entire debate?
I’m tired of hate
But all these east coast rappers
Just want to spit flame
I need to find my own fire escape
So just
Give me a pad and a plume, go
Get me a blue boat
Leave me on Pluto
Youtube a new flow
I’ll do what you don’t
Never been the one to have to stop
Got to keep up
Never backing down
Gotta make my own parents proud
Gotta show this whole town
This Filipino couldn’t be any hotter
Than Philippine hurricane wind
Don’t know how to slow down
So when the storm moves
Learn to slow dance
These streets got too many fingers not to
Hold hands

City nights
Can't nothing hold us down
We bout that life
City lights
Ain't nothing bright as us
We own the night

Just lost my job
Don’t want to lose my mind
Follow my heart
And in due time
Ill never have to be
On this unemployment line
One sound one mic
Soon they want to sign
So I’m gaining tracks
But I’m losing time
Gotta face the facts
Is this really mine?
Can I take the punches
Hit it to the body
Bob and weave
Be the one to start this
Odyssey
I got it
Honestly
So don't hesitate
Every little moment gotta celebrate
Gotta follow thru like every day
set the date
Watch me fight this heavy weight
But it's
Light as a feather
Hit hard like NY weather
Beyond that we be better off
Instead of we getting soft
Elevate to the
High class
I'm learning to open hearts
With hard beats
Triple bypass
If they ask for the moon
I fly past
The city don't sleep
But I'm a close my eyes last

City nights
Can nothing hold us down
We ‘bout that life
City lights
Ain’t nothing bright as us
We own the night
