Nights Like This |
Oooohhh… yeaaahhh… |
You’re living in your zooone… |
Ohhhh-ooohh… comes through on nights like this… yyeah |
Yo… soon as the sun sets (Nah-nah) |
Soon as the Earth’s side reflects the light (Nah, nah, nah) |
Soon as the sun sets my part of the Earth on its backside |
Sayin you can call it a night |
I get a rush like a bird’s eye view of the city at the clock-die |
When the street lights ignite |
Cuz by then I’m getting gamblin out of the greed |
It seems easy as the 1 to the 1 to the 3 times 3 |
I know a man that know a man that know the author |
That sent a ripple through time |
To let me know the author was me |
I write my own rhyme book of vignettes |
Autobiological and I ain’t done yet |
The sun set means sun rise on the other side of things |
Showing you equalities, so follow me to the lead |
Together we can set our speed, reignite the seeds |
You know how many had to bleed just so you could read? |
Fuck weed, what you need, is a night like this |
To put things in perspective |
The sights before you, 1 before 2 |
It’s simple as old before new |
So if you frontin like you knew before you knew |
Welcome back to what’s true |
When you’re in your zooone |
As if you’re all aalooone |
It’s just that conscious lives… |
Comes through on nights like thiiiss |
Yeah… nights like this, I don’t wish for rain drops |
No need to anticipate |
My words hold enough weight to make it percipitate |
The baron I fertilize, the crooked I set em straight |
In simulcast, watch me hold it down and levitate my mindstate |
From Florida to Washington, from Cali to Maine |
From a state of frustration that’ll make you complain |
To a state of calm where you can enjoy the rain |
From the sight, to the sound, to the feel, to the taste |
To the place where you know you can set your own pace |
Enter at your own reward |
It’s called knowledge of self |
Leave without it, you won’t leave a trace in the stars |
No matter who you are, no matter what you got |
No matter what you will or what you’re not |
No matter over mind, son, it’s mind over matter |
So never mind the chatter at the bottom of the ladder |
That’s the bottom of the 8th, let the bottom feeders hate |
Feed the love to the babies, not the love of Mercedes |
But the love of a night like this |
Filled with cool peeps, chilled drinks and life lessons |
Cuz as soon as the sun sets you know you’re back to the Earth |
There won’t be hours put into seconds for second guessin |
Four legs, two legs or three legs, why spend the last leg pissed? |
When you can spend it on nights like this |
When you’re in your zooone |
As if you’re all aalooone |
It’s just that conscious lives… |
Comes through on nights like thiiiss |
When you’re in your zooone |
As if you’re all aalooone |
It’s just that conscious lives… |
Comes through on nights like thiiiss |
Comes through on nights like this… |
