Nights In Harlem (Feat. Guru) |
I like to reminisce about that night we kissed |
It was somewhere one night in Harlem |
The nights were hot and bright |
You could treat your honey right |
Cuz Sylvia’s would burn all night |
The people there were really something |
(You know that’s right) |
The music always kept us jumping |
And it used to knock me down |
When Smokey came to town |
(And the miracles, please) |
My favorite song was «Tears Of A Clown», oh yeah |
There ain’t nothing like them nights in Harlem |
They really shake the funk up there |
Tonight I’m gonna stomp in Harlem |
And I’m gonna take my baby back |
To the heart of Harlem |
Big sister had a group |
And they’d sit out on the stoop |
And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah) |
My cousin Joe could blow |
Just like the radio |
And he used to drove them «B"girls wild |
But when grandma started happy dancing |
(Oh, she gon' break somethin') |
She really turned the mother out |
I like the way they do it up in Harlem |
When there’s a party up in Harlem |
That’s what it’s all about |
Ain’t nothing like them nights in Harlem |
They never fake the funk up there |
I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem |
And tonight I’m gonna take her back to the 'pollo |
There’s a party in Harlem |
They say that all the stars will be there |
Everyone is going to Harlem |
Harlem is a party and everybody’s going there |
Follow me visually, cuz I usually be all around |
Originallly everybody headed uptown |
Finessing the fly way you crisin in your car |
On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R |
And yes, we are about to set it |
Forget it, I thought you knew |
The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew |
From BMW’s to my daddy’s Cadillac |
He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back |
Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance |
Who frontin' nonchallant up in the restaurant |
What you really really want, we grabbin by the clutch |
Precise can flaunt with this and never too much |
It’s such a love flow, high but natural |
The thug’s a no-show, and drugs a no-no |
The only thing that they was shootin' was pool |
While Harlem nights was right, the party was cool |
Nothing like them nights in Harlem |
They really shake the funk up there |
Tonight I’m gonna stomp in Harlem |
I’m gonna take my baby back to the heart of Harlem |
