People all around me, yeah the streets’ alive
Got my head in the clouds, got my head in the sky
Playing the game like chess, I ain’t taking Ls like a bad knight
But I ain’t having a bad night, I’m having a good night
This ain’t a scientific experiment
But I’m the hypothesis, the way I’m tryna prove it
Prove that I’m too sick, I don’t need therapeutics
True bliss is elusive
Looking at myself chasing it, I find it way too amusing
I’m ‘bout that nightsky
I’m ‘bout those bright lights
I’m ‘bout that nightlife
I’m ‘bout that night-time
I’m ‘bout that nightsky
I’m ‘bout those bright lights
I’m ‘bout that nightlife
I’m ‘bout that nightlife
I’m ‘bout that skyline
Eyes glued to the view
You don’t need to watch the sky to see how timе flies
When the timе’s right
I guess I’ll learn what I’ve been yearning all my life
The ideal lifestyle I have been aiming for
My moods moving like a Magic 8-Ball
Got all this open space yet I’m lured to the blind side
Why’s it so hard to feel content? My answers never satisfy
I’ve been living for the happy highlights
Unaware that without pain and loss, I’d never value happy times
I don’t know what it is about the night
The darkness or the artificial lights
It’s like sorrow masked by
Intoxicating gratification
Do I want it cheap or want it pure like the starlights?
Go them in my eyesight, and I’m tryna save its energy like the dark knight
People all around me, yeah the streets’ alive
Got my head in the clouds, got my head in the sky
Playing the game like chess, I ain’t taking Ls like a bad knight
But I ain’t having a bad night, I’m having a good night [good night]
This ain’t a scientific experiment
But I’m the hypothesis, the way I’m tryna prove it
Prove that I’m too sick, I don’t need therapeutics
True bliss is elusive
Looking at myself chasing it, I find it way too amusing
I’m ‘bout that nightsky
I’m ‘bout those bright lights
I’m ‘bout that nightlife
I’m ‘bout that night-time
I’m ‘bout that nightsky
I’m ‘bout those bright lights
I’m ‘bout that nightlife
I got a lotta doubts
What’s better, winning or simply enjoying the game?
What’s better, being different or being someone that others can relate to?
Disappointment only finds itself in expectant minds
How’s anything ‘gon be late when there’s no expected time?
I feel like I’m spectating my own life
I feel washed-up yet sailing with no sight of the coastline
My thoughts are a debate with no sides
I think I’m doing it the best until I see it done better by someone else
I’m doubting myself rather than counting the factors around me
I’ve done so much, still I don’t feel I’ve done enough to say my name proudly
There’s aspects I see in certain people that I lack
Reminding me of the fact that I’ve got a long way to go
Gotta stop lowering and start affirming myself
But come to terms that the ice cap ain’t even in sight yet
