[Guru]In the big apple, scars embedded like tattoos
Ghetto love, protection from what's coming at you
Keeping our heads up, maintaining self esteem
And reminiscing on the Harlem Nights scene
We used to party all night
We used to hang out all night like it was all right
Hoping we all might make it through
Doin what it takes to do to keep it true [Luther]I like to reminisce about that night we kissed
It was somewhere in HarlemThe nights were hot and bright
You could treat your honey right
Cuz Sylvia's would burn all night 1 - Remember the times we struggled and still held on
Remember the Nights in Harlem Remember the times that we would dance all night long
Remember the Nights in 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 Repeat 1
Repeat 1 [Guru]Hey, yo, the blocks are hot
Uptown you know the spots
Night life where this playa's game is quite tight
One two five where my name's inscribedSparkin' trees, avoiding felonies, keepin' it love
Headed for them riches, straight to stardomCan't forget the struggle, all Brooklyn to HarlemDapper Dan's, shows at the ApolloHarlem days, summertime is my rhyme ya follow
And through the pain, we held on
With more to obtain, more to gain Ya can't dwell on bad vibes and sad lives we encountered
Take care of self and family, that's what it amounts to
Inhale so you could feel this realness
In New York sound, down with more cats than FelixSteal this? Yeah, some they may wanna
You can't duplicate the great, I make it warmer
Just like the Harlem world streets we all knew
We coming up this time, we all flow, we all glow
Each one's gotta shing, a better lifeThat's what each one's gotta find Repeat 1 until fade
