In the big apple, scars like tattoos love, protection from what's coming at you Keeping our heads up, maintaining esteem And reminiscing on the Harlem scene
We to party all night We to hang out all night like it was all right Hoping we all make it through what it takes to do to keep it true
I to reminisce about that night we kissed It was in Harlem The nights were hot and bright, you could treat your right Sylvia's would burn all night, yeah
Remember the times we struggled and held on Remember the in Harlem Remember the times when we would dance all night Remember the in Harlem
Big had a group and they'd sit out on the stoop And Lordy could they My cousin Joe could blow just like the And he used to drove them 'B' girls
the times we struggled and still held on Remember the in Harlem Remember the when we would dance all night long the nights in Harlem
Remember the times we and still held on the nights in Harlem Remember the times when we would dance all night Remember the nights in
Hey Oh
Hey, yo, the blocks are hot, uptown, you know the Night life where this playa's is quite tight One two five where my name's trees, avoiding felonies, keepin' it love
Headed for them riches, straight to Can't forget the struggle, all Brooklyn to Dapper Dan's, shows at the Harlem days, summertime is my ya follow
And the pain, we held on With more to obtain, to gain Ya can't dwell on bad vibes and sad we encountered Take of self and family, that's what it amounts to
Inhale so you could feel this In New York sound, with more cats than Felix Steal this? Yeah, some they may You can't the great, I make it warmer
Just like the Harlem streets we all knew We up this time, we all flow, we all glow Each one's gotta shing, a life what each one's gotta find
Remember the we struggled and still held on Remember the nights in Remember the times when we would dance all long the nights in Harlem
Remember the times we struggled and still on Remember the in Harlem Remember the times we would dance all night long the nights in Harlem
Remember the times we and still held on the nights in Harlem Remember the times when we dance all night long Remember the nights in
the times we struggled and still held on Remember the times when we would dance all long
