(Verse)
Look, flashbacks of his troubled youth
They try to hide behind them lies but he know the truth

They put them guns all in the hood and tell itâ??s not to shoot
He sell that dope and lose his crib so what he supposed to do?
The world tell him get that cream and thatâ??s by any means

Thatâ??s why itâ??s ^!$$%s sellin crack and crack is sellin dreams
He used to hit a couple licks and he was servin fiends
Had good intentions even though itâ??s not what it may seem

But with a daughter and a son thatâ??s on the way
Ainâ??t no choice but move that weight, he was tryin to make a way
And that 9 to 5 donâ??t pay

Well it do but not enough
On that corner every day, with a semi-auto tucked
And them rocks all in his socks

Pullin up then came them cops
So he ran across that block
While the pigs was yelling â??Stop!â?

Wasnâ??t long til he got caught and they was readin his rights
In them cuffs, thatâ??s when he knew itâ??s gon be one of them nights
$#&@!


(Hook)
This is gonna be just one of them nights

Gonna be just one of them nights
Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride
Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride

This is gonna be just one of them nights
Gonna be just one of them nights
Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride

Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride ride ride

(Verse)

Callin all my fellow knuckleheads and menaces
Abominations and disgracious and abandoned kids
They hate us all cus we refuse to be they mannequins

Their views excused, never polluted by they fantasies
They donâ??t wanna hear it but the streets will always call us
Everywhere it seems they sellin dreams two for a dollar

Man we see a little green then we start pushin even harder
Caught up in that life that no one really ever wanted


Hey buster
Get up off my corner cu I really donâ??t trust ya
Brother say donâ??t ever let another man test ya

Always gotta worry that the men are gonna arrest ya
Make a wrong move then the 45 bust ya


And thatâ??s curtains ^!$$%, kill the music
Cus our fates have been decided, we donâ??t get to choosin
If youâ??re never meant to win then is it really losin?

Nahâ?¦ man $#&@ it, turn up

(Hook)

This is gonna be just one of them nights
Gonna be just one of them nights
Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride

Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride
This is gonna be just one of them nights
Gonna be just one of them nights

Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride
Let the beat ride ^!$$%, let the beat ride ride ride
