In the big apple, scars embedded like Ghetto love, protection from what's at you Keeping our heads up, self esteem And on the Harlem Nights scene
We used to all night We used to hang out all night like it was all Hoping we all might it through Doin' it takes to do to keep it true
I like to reminisce about that night we 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 still on the nights in Harlem Remember the when we would dance all night long Remember the nights in
Big sister had a and they'd sit out on the stoop And Lordy could harmonize My cousin Joe could blow like the radio And he used to them 'B' girls wild
the times we struggled and still held on Remember the in Harlem Remember the times when we would all night long Remember the nights in
Remember the we struggled and still held on the nights in Harlem Remember the times when we would all night long the nights in Harlem
Hey Oh
Hey, yo, the are hot, uptown, you know the spots Night life where playa's game is quite tight One two five my name's inscribed Sparkin' trees, felonies, keepin' it love
Headed for them riches, to stardom Can't forget the struggle, all Brooklyn to Dapper Dan's, shows at the days, summertime is my rhyme ya follow
And the pain, we held on more to obtain, more to gain Ya can't on bad vibes and sad lives we encountered Take of self and family, that's what it amounts to
Inhale so you could feel this In New York sound, down with more cats than Steal this? Yeah, some may wanna You can't duplicate the great, I make it
Just the Harlem world streets we all knew We up this time, we all flow, we all glow Each gotta shing, a better life what each one's gotta find
Remember the times we struggled and still on Remember the nights in Remember the times when we would all night long Remember the nights in
Remember the we struggled and still held on Remember the nights in Remember the times when we would all night long Remember the nights in
Remember the times we struggled and held on Remember the in Harlem Remember the when we would dance all night long the nights in Harlem
Remember the times we struggled and held on Remember the times when we would dance all night
