City Lights Don't Sleep (version 2)

Verse

Skyline still lit at seven oh nine

Paper trail of headlights behind me

Corner store glow on a borrowed dime

Radio static and a hundred lines

City never sleeps so why should I

Dollar signs flashing in my eye

Sneakers on concrete, feel the rush

Every bill stacked like a challenge we both lose

I talk to money like it owes me some love

The night don't stop till somebody's done

Pre-Chorus

Hold that thought, hold that sound

Let it climb before it hits the ground

Chorus

City lights don't sleep when I'm on the grind

I ain't stopping till the numbers align

City lights don't sleep, they light up my drive

I ain't tired, money's alive

Verse

Taxi cab windows rolled down so slow

Watching every building turn to gold and glow

Sirens in the distance but I ain't gonna stop

Money's talking louder than a police report

Every block got a rhythm of its own

Some nights I don't feel like going home

The streetlight hum becomes my second heartbeat

I'm chasing shadows, they're chasing me

Either way it ends at the same degree

Pre-Chorus

Hold that thought, hold that sound

Let it climb before it hits the ground

Chorus

City lights don't sleep when I'm on the grind

I ain't stopping till the numbers align

City lights don't sleep, they light up my drive

I ain't tired, money's alive

Bridge

Some nights you gotta lose it all to win

Sweat and smoke replace the morning sun

Every no gets louder than a yes I know

This the price of keeping your eyes on the glow

Chorus

City lights don't sleep when I'm on the grind

I ain't stopping till the numbers align

City lights don't sleep, they light up my drive

I ain't tired, money's alive
