Late at night (feat. lila iké)


Oh, late at night
When everybody's safe and in their bed
That's when the thing get dread
Oh, late at night
When everybody's caught up in their dreams
That's when the city screams, yeah

If things stay the same, tell me who wants the change?
Not feeling safe, tell me who can relate?
On who can we wait?
Something's not adding up
Who calculate
When there's shootouts for days?
When the...
Streets hot
Three Glocks
Beat shot
Six pance
Kick back
Knee knock
Fallflat
Tree chop
Crim? scene
See cops
Seiz? stock
Who see?
Not me
Wheel back
Re-enact
Now it's always the ones who don't act seem amazed
Won't see the difference 'til things complicate, well
Everytime you feel as if we have chance
Man dem run in...

Oh, late at night
When everybody's wrapped up in their bed
That's when the streets get dread
Oh, late at night
When everybody's caught up in their dreams
That's when the city screams, yeah

Oooo, ohh
When everybody's safe inside
So much things a go down
Late at night

Make me tell you this straight up
Open your eyes, you nuh blind, better wake up
Don't be surprised if you see an earthquake come
Land full of pirates, the wicked city shake up
Like port royal
Who really loyal
If all that matters to a man is survival?
Piece in them side, just appeasing them pride
Wishing rest in peace to their rivals

Late at night
When certain people safe and in their dreams
That's when the whole city screams
Late at night
When everybody's safe and in their bed
That's when the streets get dread
Oh, late at night

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
