Live a Little

when the music slows down it's final call women and men pushing their way through the halls locked in stalls rolling spliffs for the long haul stuffing beer bottles under their wife beaters scuffing up their new white adidas sneakers cars lining up along the street music bumping bass lines thumping people krumping walking with a swagger pistol locked and loaded finger on the trigger ego growing bigger g-strings getting wet pussy is a pet falling in love for the moment reality they soon forget hennessey on their breath cotton mouth making them vex cruising along the west side highway on your way to 125th building up an appetite meeting at sylvia's to eat the nights just beginning soon as we get done eating the after parties will soon be popping everyone who's someone will be stopping in bring your own alcohol vodka jack daniels and gin bootie all around getting head underground true love may be found but in here everyone gets around new york to the heart we got love for all until five o shows up cause the neighbors did call woop woop thats the sound of the police illegal name on the lease handcuffed to the chair stashing weed in her hair she don't care a typical night in the city that never sleeps code of silence amongst those whose word they keep
