Nighttime Maneuvers Lyrics
[Intro: Phonte]
Yo, I need some ice cream
I need some for the nighttime
[Chorus: Phonte]
Uh, for the 9-1-9, for the 9-1-9
When the Sun go down, we still shine and vine
Still shine and vine, for the 9-1-9
And the 9-1-9, and the 3-3-6
When the nighttime come, that's how we do that shit
That's how we, that's how we do that shit
[Verse 1: Phonte]
Aiyo, it's the new flavor, the next step
Phonte, the best kept secret since the A.I.D.S. cure
I stay raw whether they bootleg it or pay for it
Old school like Prince Dejour when he was hostin Rap City with fingerwaves on
I put my name on the map through dismantling
Embarrassing arrogant cats and battle 'em because they raps ain't astonishing
Got niggas in the club spitting out they Heinekens
Like, "Goddammit, when that nigga Tay gon' rhyme again?"
He's nice with the homonyms, ill flow
I guess I got it from my mom and them, for real doe
Who does it finer? This one is for the MCs in Carolina
Three in the morning, insomnia rhymers
That say, "Yo, let's put the drama behind us, just let the beats rock"
Started cypher while the wack niggas eavesdrop
9th mouse clicked it on the b-box
9th always hit me on my sweet spot
Go to the crib, drink some Peach Schnapps
And doze off to Pete Rock, what
Yo, I need some ice cream
I need some for the nighttime
[Chorus: Phonte]
Uh, for the 9-1-9, for the 9-1-9
When the Sun go down, we still shine and vine
Still shine and vine, for the 9-1-9
And the 9-1-9, and the 3-3-6
When the nighttime come, that's how we do that shit
That's how we, that's how we do that shit
[Verse 1: Phonte]
Aiyo, it's the new flavor, the next step
Phonte, the best kept secret since the A.I.D.S. cure
I stay raw whether they bootleg it or pay for it
Old school like Prince Dejour when he was hostin Rap City with fingerwaves on
I put my name on the map through dismantling
Embarrassing arrogant cats and battle 'em because they raps ain't astonishing
Got niggas in the club spitting out they Heinekens
Like, "Goddammit, when that nigga Tay gon' rhyme again?"
He's nice with the homonyms, ill flow
I guess I got it from my mom and them, for real doe
Who does it finer? This one is for the MCs in Carolina
Three in the morning, insomnia rhymers
That say, "Yo, let's put the drama behind us, just let the beats rock"
Started cypher while the wack niggas eavesdrop
9th mouse clicked it on the b-box
9th always hit me on my sweet spot
Go to the crib, drink some Peach Schnapps
And doze off to Pete Rock, what
[Chorus: Phonte]
For the 9-1-9, for the 9-1-9
When the Sun go down, we still shine and vine
Still shine and vine, for the 9-1-9
And the 9-1-9, and the 3-3-6
When the nighttime come, that's how we do that shit
That's how we, that's how we do that shit
Aiyo this is for the 9-1-9, for the 9-1-9
When the sun go down, we still shine and vine
Still shine and vine, for the 9-1-9
And the 9-1-9, and the 3-3-6
When the nighttime come, that's how we do that shit
That's how we, that's how we do that shit
