[Verse 1 Pase Rock] 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 cant let it wait Its not a secret everything is all out and exposed Its going down like the water in the river flows So 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 They 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 dont care hes just there to sing another sad love song [Hook Pase Rock] Fade to black the soundtrack to another night Its the music of the rain and the city lights Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright Without the sparkle or hype its just another night Fade to black the soundtrack to another night Its the music of the rain and the city lights Feel no pain it makes the whole city bright Without the sparkle or hype its just another night [Verse 2 Pase Rock Substantial] And they all knew what it was from the first glance No excuses shouldve planned in advance man Documented on ProTools or Tascam Struggles hustles of an ordinary black man Spin a record with two week life span Cant 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 youll hear the shot But hell never stop til his names known on every block Spread my wings fly away to the night beat Hes 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 [Verse 3 Substantial] 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 Airs crisp and calm I think a storm is near And Im 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 coffin By morning, now youre the one with the night breed You shouldve known better if youre anything like me But the city lights will seduce you Daywalkers beware if its not what youre used to
