lyrics

What time it is?
3 am? I'm fine with it
When the sun set
We can sip moonshine
Maybe two times
No matter what night it is
So
Loosen up
Or tighten it
Go hard like light ening
We got one life to live
I woke up like this
I woke up like this
Track turn to gold
Cuz I be king Midas
I used to be the shy kid
From the illipino island
I've been
On too many stops
Now you never ask
Who the flyest?
Started rhyming
Gotta be 9000
Tops
Tell me the future
Come out and say it
Get money to line the wall
Like we living 69 at bayard
I'm playing
The city
like a second set of D&D
Took a trip on the BQE
LIE
Try to find where I be?
I am always here
Always home
VenAqui
Represent even till I leaf
Where I live
Where I breathe
So enter
It's written inside of my skin
With a pen so
The city is center where everything ends up
Get schitso
On an instro
Mental

City nights
Can't nothin hold us down
We bout that life
We bout that life
City lights
Ain't nothin bright as us
We own the night
We own the night

On the express line
Tryin to come up on the seven
It's how I go on tour
Best time
To write them rhymes
Is standing clear of them closing doors
I am a product of
Michael Jay
And that
eighties noise
Im faded
No grip on gravity
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
Ill deliver you the spine
So we could
At least grow

City nights
Can't nothin hold us down
We bout that life
We bout that life
City lights
Ain't nothin bright as us
We own the night
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 them tallest towers 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

Cant nothing hold us down
We about that life
Ain’t nothing bright as us
We own the night

City nights
Can nothing hold us down
We ‘bout that life
We ‘bout that life
In New York,
concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh
There's nothing you can't do
