Sto-ik The Poet - These Nights lyrics

[INTRO: Sto-ik The Poet] Yo, IEMC These nights are so damn long Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on In the booth 'til the break of... Yo [VERSE 1: Sto-ik The Poet] Sittin' with a bottle of liquor inside an empty hall Nothin' but a pack of cigarettes are leanin' on the wall I can hear the echoes of the past yellin' out the call But I don't know if I should even pick'em up at all The burnin' lights over the city, never seem to fade Along with all the memories that never seem to age As a little kid I never thought that I would dream this way But thank God for another day Cause I remember all the suicidal tendencies well I swear I had the habits of somebody headed to hell Misinterpreted youth, avoiding any not to dwell Cause the reality was terrible, nobody could tell [Uh] Nothin' but a beautiful disaster Way too many tears to fill the funeral with laughter I sit alone at night wonderin' what is after Plannin' out the story of my life by the chapter [HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] x 2 These nights are so damn long Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on In the booth 'til the break of dawn Somebody send me a postcard I'm gone [VERSE 2: Sto-ik The Poet] Yo I didn't wanna hurt anybody, leave me alone Nothin' is left, when you're right about bein' wrong I got a scar in my chest, heart beatin' on Standin' at Ontario Airport, I'm dreamin' on About a better life for the people that I love, maybe The sunny side of Southern California surely saved me But the sh** that made me was The dark side of Cali, where it can get dangerous Thank God I'm alive I'm gonna reach the top, before my Mama's tears of happiness dry They wouldn't follow the stride Of somebody that couldn't swallow their pride Survival is the competition and tomorrow's the prize Yet, this is all I know Give a little bit of love, respect is all I show No matter where I go, I'm never losin' sight of my home Tell Jay and Yeezy step aside, I'm here to fight for the throne [Uh] [HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] x 2 These nights are so damn long Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on In the booth 'til the break of dawn Somebody send me a postcard I'm gone [VERSE 3: LSD] Drinking liquid courage impulsing down different avenues,[What's up] Mad people showing love, support and gratitude Never mind the haters, though I can't even be mad at you These long nights got me feeling beat and battered too Lack of sleep starts depleting in your attitude Yet you can't help but still feel there's more you had to do Trying to force a smile at the mall for the camera crew When all you really wanna do is buy a pair of shoes Can't complain there's a price for fame I maintain thinking maybe they'll remember my name So I'm stopping every chance I get to show respect Cause without y'all to listen what we say ain't sh** & this is it. Stop and look and what we did How far we gotta go and how hard it's been Why pretend, we don't want that to end So after all these long nights we go and do it again! [Come on] [HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] x 2 These nights are so damn long Drinkin' liquor 'til I can't go on In the booth 'til the break of dawn Somebody send me a postcard I'm gone
