Lyrics
0:10Always in trouble need love on the double spent cake
0:12And a lifetime climbing to the level
0:15Contract with the devil loopholed expiration date
0:17On the side of good people always set the record straight
0:20Round and round the piano keys meditate
0:22Felt in the music need it now can't let it wait
0:24Not a secret everything is all out and exposed
0:27It's going down like the water in the river flows
0:29How it goes another day another story told
0:31Stuck inside the puzzle searching still trying to get a hold
0:34Forgotten souls got lost in the cold trying
0:36To get freedom now they need 'em walking down to hope road
0:39Said they hope so but it was a no go
0:41Front row stage show well placed logo
0:43Fancy lights and the cameras are on
0:45But he don't care he's just there to sing another sad love song
0:48Fade to black the soundtrack to another night
0:51Is the music of the rain and the city lights
0:53Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright
0:56Without the sparkle or hype it's just another night
0:58Fade to black the soundtrack to another night
1:00Is the music of the rain and the city lights
1:03Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright
1:05Without the sparkle or hype it's just another night
1:07And they all knew what it was from the first glance
1:10No excuses should've planned in advance man
1:12Documented on protools or tascam
1:15Struggles and hustles of an ordinary black man
1:17Sping a record with two week life span
1:19Can't find a good girl so we hug the mic stand
1:22Not a lot of paper left in his right hand
1:24Making enemies of folks he treated like fam
1:27Stone cold solid rock every point stop
1:29What you lean on soon as the pressure drops
1:32Ghetto hot
1:32Know the ledge and you'll hear the shot
1:34But he'll never stop
1:35'Til his name's known on every block
1:36Spread my wings fly away to the night beat
1:39He's wide awake while the rest of the city sleeps
1:41In these gritty streets
1:42Dudes creep with plenty heat
1:43Pay it no mind and we grind losing plenty sleep
1:53Yo yo
1:55Some play for keeps while you laid asleep
1:57In the dark your worst nightmare waits for he
2:00Anything discern no dawn or despair
2:02Air's crisp and calm I think a storm is near
2:05And I'm watching lightning dance across the skyline
2:07Usually miss it rarely find time
2:10To bask in blackness hint of line shine
2:12But in a jazz pub chilling sippin' with fine wine
2:15Hypnotize by the strum of the upright
2:17Feel like lost souls got their eyes on me some nights
2:19So keep my eyes wide and move cautious
2:22Slip and find yourself in a brand new coffing
2:24By the morning
2:25Now you're one with the night breed
2:26You should've known better if you're anything like me
2:29But the city lights will seduce you
2:31Day walkers beware if it's not what you're used to
Always in trouble need love on the double spent cake And a lifetime climbing to the level Contract with the devil loopholed expiration date On the side of good people always set the record straight Round and round the piano keys meditate Felt in the music need it now can't let it wait Not a secret everything is all out and exposed It's going down like the water in the river flows How it goes another day another story told Stuck inside the puzzle searching still trying to get a hold Forgotten souls got lost in the cold trying To get freedom now they need 'em walking down to hope road Said they hope so but it was a no go Front row stage show well placed logo Fancy lights and the cameras are on But he don't care he's just there to sing another sad love song Fade to black the soundtrack to another night Is the music of the rain and the city lights Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright Without the sparkle or hype it's just another night Fade to black the soundtrack to another night Is the music of the rain and the city lights Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright Without the sparkle or hype it's just another night And they all knew what it was from the first glance No excuses should've planned in advance man Documented on protools or tascam Struggles and hustles of an ordinary black man Sping a record with two week life span Can't find a good girl so we hug the mic stand Not a lot of paper left in his right hand Making enemies of folks he treated like fam Stone cold solid rock every point stop What you lean on soon as the pressure drops Ghetto hot Know the ledge and you'll hear the shot But he'll never stop 'Til his name's known on every block Spread my wings fly away to the night beat He's wide awake while the rest of the city sleeps In these gritty streets Dudes creep with plenty heat Pay it no mind and we grind losing plenty sleep Yo yo Some play for keeps while you laid asleep In the dark your worst nightmare waits for he Anything discern no dawn or despair Air's crisp and calm I think a storm is near And I'm watching lightning dance across the skyline Usually miss it rarely find time To bask in blackness hint of line shine But in a jazz pub chilling sippin' with fine wine Hypnotize by the strum of the upright Feel like lost souls got their eyes on me some nights So keep my eyes wide and move cautious Slip and find yourself in a brand new coffing By the morning Now you're one with the night breed You should've known better if you're anything like me But the city lights will seduce you Day walkers beware if it's not what you're used to
