In the big apple, scars like tattoos Ghetto love, protection from coming 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 like it was all right we all might make it through Doin' what it to do to keep it true
I like to reminisce about that we kissed It was somewhere in The nights were hot and bright, you could treat your right 'Coz Sylvia's would all night, yeah
Remember the we struggled and still held on Remember the in Harlem Remember the times when we would dance all long Remember the in Harlem
Big sister had a and they'd sit out on the stoop And Lordy they harmonize My cousin Joe could just like the radio And he used to drove them 'B' girls
Remember the times we and still held on Remember the in Harlem Remember the times when we would dance all night the nights in Harlem
Remember the times we struggled and still on Remember the nights in Remember the when we would dance all night long the nights in Harlem
Hey Oh
Hey, yo, the blocks are hot, uptown, you the spots Night life where this playa's game is tight One two five where my name's Sparkin' trees, avoiding felonies, it love
Headed for them riches, straight to forget the struggle, all Brooklyn to Harlem Dapper Dan's, at the Apollo days, summertime is my rhyme ya follow
And through the pain, we on With to obtain, more to gain Ya can't on bad vibes and sad lives we encountered Take care of self and family, that's it amounts to
Inhale so you could feel this In New York sound, down with more cats than Steal this? Yeah, some they may You duplicate the great, I make it warmer
Just like the world streets we all knew We up this time, we all flow, we all glow Each one's gotta shing, a life That's what one's gotta find
Remember the times we struggled and held 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 we would dance all night long Remember the nights in
Remember the times we and still held on the nights in Harlem Remember the when we would dance all night long Remember the in Harlem
Remember the we struggled and still held on Remember the times when we would all night long
