Verse 1 (Inno Thakid)
What it do ma? It's Thakid again
I know you probably think I only call to get it in
See I was listening when you was mentioning
About how them city lights be making you feel like you was a kid again
I’m known to get a pen and write about my feelings when
Something is motivating enough for me to want to spit again
For me it's different, these lights ain't too fulfilling
When Edison keeps on billing and asking you for their chips again
But the truth is, I’m a sinner
I probably should have never cheated and apologize to Winter
But I've learned from my mistakes though, and threw my locs on
So I can fight temptation when the high beam strokes on
They shine bright man, like a diamond
The paparazzi got the worst f*cking timing
The price of fame, I guess you pay it with your life then
Leave it to the next n*gga dumb enough to dive in
Chorus (Rio/ Reeyo!)
I don't know what to do tonight (what I'm gone do?)
But I'm trying to explore, all these city lights
Shine bright for me, bright for me, all these city lights
Shine bright for me, bright for me, all these city lights they shine
Verse 2 (Kali Massive)
This ain't a love letter, just trying to get my groove on
You deserve better, king size over futon
Ring size, mami got them mean eyes
Means I got to work just to get that
Can't relax means I just can't sit back
Been around the world twice, where you been at?
All my life been searching for the fame
And all your life, you’ve been dealing with the pain
Plus you, taking chances, making advances
Despite the roadblocks and the questions with no answers
Uhh! I’m on my Biggie and my Pac sh*t
That means my flow's hot and I’m on every bodies watch list
But watch this, we can whip the avenues
You can strip and I can sip up on your attitude
The city lights look nice when you're flying
Ordered champagne, now you're high profiling
Chorus (Rio/ Reeyo!)
I don't know what to do tonight (what I’m gone do?)
But I'm trying to explore, all these city lights
Shine bright for me, bright for me, all these city lights
Shine bright for me, bright for me, all these city lights they shine
Bridge (Rio/ Reeyo!)
Nothing is for certain, and we're probably gonna change
I lose me to myself, this is my price of fame
You got me yelling my, my, my, my-my, my, my
Chorus (Rio/ Reeyo!)
I don't know what to do tonight (what I'm gone do?)
But I'm trying to explore, all these city lights
Shine bright for me, bright for me, all these city lights
Shine bright for me, bright for me, all these city lights they shine
