Turn up the percussion for me

Born and raised DC, Maryland, Peachy County, wherever you're from

Play this only at night
Only at night

One more time
I don't know if you don't know
But imma tell ya like this we all gotta go
But I know
Check this out
Ancient old worth more than gold
Cannot be bought cannot be sold
Cannot be pushed cannot be lift
And telling you, you gotta whole lot to deal with
In this world of all reverse
Like you use to talk proper but now you curse
The sun use to shine from day to day now the whole universe is filled with gray
No friends, children, family, no wife
And disrespect is the way of life
You wanna go say no, don't need no airfare
Close your eyes and then you're there
And if you go come right and exact and remember there's no way back
So close your eyes live and hate and despise all those girls and all those guys
Who told you you never had stars in your eyes this is your destiny rise
Who told you you never had stars in your eyes this is your destiny rise
Who told you you never had stars in your eyes this is your destiny rise
Who told you you never had stars in your eyes this is your destiny rise because
When I hear this my insides get tight
I grit down on my teeth with all my might
Hey
Play this only at night
Only at night
Only at night
Hey
Now I don't know if you don't know
But imma tell you like this we all gotta go
But I know, nobody gotta go like that y'all
That y'all
