Lyrics

Night life, ready to spit (attack)
What? Evidence (where you take?)
Across the planet (time we all expand it)
Step it up this year (the Weathermen)
The time is right, sleep all day to wake up for
Night life, ready to spit (when you drop?)
We gonna hit, across the planet (time we all expand it)
Step it up no doubt, the time is right
Sleep all day to wake up for night life
Yo, I start every verse with something to quote
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't
Last year, a test, true colors were shown
Kings remain in chess on the board, in life and thrones
Music, catch the force of my mic
That's why at night I be out postin' up my own snipes
For years I sat back, played the role, what for?
This year, diss, hear us roar, can't fake it anymore
Check it out, you now witness the scene
Second release, Expansion Team
Shit thumps, shine bright, headlights, xenon
They like laser beams, drive fast things, and tee off greens
You know these nights ain't gettin' any longer
Put your best out and fail, you never know
You might get stronger (never know)
I stood back a bit
Take punchlines out raps, they more legitimate
Solidify our place in the game, pleasure with pain
Tropical flow, see sun but feel rain
It's easy to seclude yourself up in the mix
That's why it's good to get out at night and holler at chicks
I take it back before studio racks
Before I understood the concept of separating tracks
Before, around the time in my life when I swore
That the mic was a device not to be taken light
Night life, graffiti artists get armed
Cans get shook and walls get bombed
This is the time when shadow rocks get thrown
At your tinted car window, sound off the alarm
This is the time you execute your plan
While other people sleep, jewels get ran
In getaway vans, exit off-ramps
Smaller operations in shops, bigger in camps
Rock knots in pocket pants, got the advance
In back for my back and enhance
And things ain't always what they seem from a glance
But up close, shit'll change your whole perspective
Shadows close in, you realize you ain't protected
