Off into the New York Night

Lyrics

Can't sleep again so I hit my friend to see what's happening He's hanging with his girl he says mañana I should rap with him I text another homie after him but he's faded All types of typos in the text he dictated I'm feeling restless sometimes I get this way Can't sit still my head filled with yesterday Mind spinning on some shit I said or something I did Or bigger questions "should I move? should I have kids?" It's hard to give a fuck and yet I'm up Deep into the night with my cortex stuck So I rise grab my ride and turn my bike lights on Smash out into the night and I'm gone Sweet dreams for now Lay your head down Turn out the light and I'm off into the New York night I'm riding through the BK high priced decay And wind up in my hair with my day on replay Spokes spinning like the thoughts in my head Miles Davis in my ears God bless the dead I could push through Kinfolk see what's popping on the late night Or just ride until I see daylight [text alert] a late night text from a girl I barely know But I'm not looking for trim to interrupt my flow I opt out spout something 'bout "I'm caught up now But hit me back tomorrow and we'll see what's going down" Tonight I'm gonna ride 'til the chain falls off Mile for mile stoop for stoop block by block Sweet dreams for now Lay your head down Turn out the light and I'm off into the New York night I don't think you understand man I'm losing my grip Out of sorts but of course I'm too stupid to quit Too bruised to get lit too confused to commit Too busy getting dizzy Rubik's Cubing my shit Stay awake 'til the break and I take to the night Try to shake the dark mood but the blues they hold tight Fight fire with the ink black city sink back in it Doesn't cure what ails me but helps for a minute So deep in my head I can't see straight So deep in my head I can't see straight So deep in my thoughts I get lost I come up with cool shit but it comes at a cost Big city wandering big picture pondering Squandering time I'm up 'til dawn again Looking for answers to questions I don't even know Can't sit still so I just go Sweet dreams for now Lay your head down Turn out the light and I'm off into the New York night
