[Verse:]
Look, flashbacks of his troubled youth
They try to hide behind them lies but he know the truth
They put them guns all in the hood and tell it’s not to shoot
He sell that dope and lose his crib so what he supposed to do?
The world tell him get that cream and that’s by any means
That’s why it’s niggas sellin crack and crack is sellin dreams
He used to hit a couple licks and he was servin fiends
Had good intentions even though it’s not what it may seem
But with a daughter and a son that’s on the way
Ain’t no choice but move that weight, he was tryin to make a way
And that 9 to 5 don’t pay
Well it do but not enough
On that corner every day, with a semi-auto tucked
And them rocks all in his socks
Pullin up then came them cops
So he ran across that block
While the pigs was yelling “Stop!”
Wasn’t long til he got caught and they was readin his rights
In them cuffs, that’s when he knew it’s gon be one of them nights
Fuck!

[Hook:]
This is gonna be just one of them nights
Gonna be just one of them nights
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride
This is gonna be just one of them nights
Gonna be just one of them nights
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride ride ride

[Verse:]
Callin all my fellow knuckleheads and menaces
Abominations and disgracious and abandoned kids
They hate us all cus we refuse to be they mannequins
Their views excused, never polluted by they fantasies
They don’t wanna hear it but the streets will always call us
Everywhere it seems they sellin dreams two for a dollar
Man we see a little green then we start pushin even harder
Caught up in that life that no one really ever wanted

Hey buster
Get up off my corner cu I really don’t trust ya
Brother say don’t ever let another man test ya
Always gotta worry that the men are gonna arrest ya
Make a wrong move then the 45 bust ya

And that’s curtains nigga, kill the music
Cus our fates have been decided, we don’t get to choosin
If you’re never meant to win then is it really losin?
Nah… man fuck it, turn up

[Hook:]
This is gonna be just one of them nights
Gonna be just one of them nights
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride
This is gonna be just one of them nights
Gonna be just one of them nights
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride
Let the beat ride nigga, let the beat ride ride ride
