Nights In Atlanta Songtext
von Da’ T.R.U.T.H.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

I was just a kid on the block
Young black boy in the hood
Catchin′ grasshoppers in the lot
Always gettin' bullied in the school
Always gettin′ change from the arcade
Fully kissed, thought that that was cool
'Round the corner from the projects

I would skip and go to the pool
Talk about Emanuel Lee
Always really misunderstood
I would always land on my feet
Even when I ran from the wolves


I ain't have a plan for the week
But I had a handful of tools
Had good parents to lead playin′ by the rules, cruise (oh oh oh)
Yeah

You′ll never leave me now
You are the light in the darkness
You'll always be around
What I really need in my world right now
You′ll never leave me now (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
You'll never leave me now (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
You′ll never leave me

Never gotta pay a debt to you
'Cause you will never leave me alone
Ever have a friend that would just
Listen to you breathe on the phone?
I remember crabs on the step
With an ice cream on the cone
Me and Cab we was in the zone
I was just 10 years old


Boy, I had to fight just to manage
Man, I had a height disadvantage
I don′t know why Cab took his life
But I had a light in the shadows
I was running alleys and the streets
All my homies' life was in shambles
In between the valleys and the peaks
It was really Christ in the battles (Yeah)
Now it's nights in Atlanta (Boy)

You′ll never leave me now (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
You′ll never leave me now (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Never leave me
