Nights In Harlem Lyrics

Nights In Harlem lyrics

(feat. Precise)

 

 There's a party in Harlem, come on

 

 I like to reminisce about that night we kissed

 It was somewhere one night in Harlem

 The nights were hot and bright

 You could treat your honey right

 Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night

 

 The people there were really something

 (You know that's right)

 The music always kept us jumping

 And it used to knock me down

 When Smokey came to town

 (And the miracles, please)

 My favorite song was "Tears Of A Clown", oh yeah

 

 There ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem

 They really shake the funk up there

 Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

 And I'm gonna take my baby back

 To the heart of Harlem

 

 Big sister had a group 

 And they'd sit out on the stoop

 And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah)

 My cousin Joe could blow

 Just like the radio

 And he used to drove them "B" girls wild

 

 But when grandma started happy dancing

 (Oh, she gon' break somethin')

 She really turned the mother out

 I like the way they do it up in Harlem

 When there's a party up in Harlem

 That's what it's all about

 

 Ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem

 They never fake the funk up there

 I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem

 And tonight I'm gonna take her back to the 'pollo

 

 There's a party in Harlem

 They say that all the stars will be there

 Everyone is going to Harlem

 Harlem is a party and everybody's going there

 

 [Precise]

 Follow me visually, cuz I usually be all around

 Originallly everybody headed uptown

 Finessing the fly way you crisin in your car

 On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R

 And yes, we are about to set it

 Forget it, I thought you knew

 The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew

 From BMW's to my daddy's Cadillac

 He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back

 Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance

 Who frontin' nonchallant up in the restaurant

 What you really really want, we grabbin by the clutch

 Precise can flaunt with this and never too much

 It's such a love flow, high but natural

 The thug's a no-show, and drugs a no-no

 The only thing that they was shootin' was pool

 While Harlem nights was right, the party was cool

 

 Nothing like them nights in Harlem

 They really shake the funk up there

 Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

 I'm gonna take my baby back to the heart of Harlem

 

 Nights in Harlem

 They never fake the funk up there

 I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem

 Back to the Harlem Apollo

 

 Nights in Harlem

 They don't let you fake the funk up there

 Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

 I'm gonna take my honey

 Back to the Harlem Apollow

 

 Nights in Harlem

 They really shake the funk up there

 Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

 I'm gonna take my baby

 Back to the Harlem Apollo
