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

City nights

City nights

City nights are nothing but alright

City nights

City nights

City nights are nothing but alright

City nights

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

City nights

City nights

City nights are nothing but alright

City nights

City nights

City nights are nothing but alright

City nights

City nights
