Intro
It's these hours of the night man, thats where this shit counts
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse 1 (ANTNY)
Always felt I come alive in the night time
Whilst the world lays asleep I start to write rhymes
In my silence these dreams start to come alive
Reaching beyond the present moment, I visualise
How does it feel
When you’re alone
No ones there
Silent phone
Metallic air
Quiet home
This is my element
I'm in my zone
In my zone
In my zone yeah
My darkest thoughts and my lowest points
Bring the brightest words
And make the loudest night
Let this seep through your skin
I'll anoint, ya
Not many other brothers in my section
Not many other brothers been tried and tested
Consider that life is a lesson and I’m reflecting
But to be truly honest even I lack direction
See I wanna drop this all
Whip west bound down the M4 and knock at your door
Spend the night laying side by side
No sleep we can talk and just watch as the sun will rise
I stay out later than the city does
1:30 doors shut, lock the city up
You know the culture tryna revive the city's buzz
We gotta hold it down for SYD thats love
Hook (YAW.)
Nights like this
I'm way up
Deep thoughts up all night
I stay up
Times like this
I stay up
Hope one day I can be
All the way up
Verse 2 (YAW.)
Nights like this and times like this
I stay up thinking and wishing for better nights than this
While all the snores sing
I just write my shit
While simultaneously thinking but how my life just is
Dreams in reality
The clock still ticks
It's just a matter of time until the sun appear
So while I wait
I just know not to trust anyone
To neglect all the fakes and the fronts
So I guess I look back while I'm riding along through my city
Take a pause
Have a sight
Oh my gosh
Look at the that
Damn
What a place to be at
The city's got a buzz boy you gotta feel that
It's way deeper than love man
The reason I rap
I feel surrounded, never alone
In the midst of the dark cos
City lights don't bright in the daylight
But I’m a star I’ll shine brighter than the daylight
Reason I tried is the reason I'm here
I’m tryna buy mum a house
And maybe retire her friends
And maybe her friends friends
Whoever had hands to change the life around me
Yeah that be the plan
See times like this I know for sure that I can
I'm taking off on Neverland I'm feeling Peter Pan
Don't need your help
You know boy I’ve been the man
And now the shine
I'm deep in thoughts
I'm singing
Hook (YAW.)
Nights like this
I'm way up
Deep thoughts up all night
I stay up
Times like this
I stay up
Hope one day I can be
All the way up
