Little Brother - Nighttime Maneuvers lyrics

Yo, I need some ice cream
I need some for the nighttime

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

Aiyo, it's the new flavor, the next step
Phonte, the best kept secret
Since the AIDS 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

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

"When the nighttime covers the
City" - Mos Def yeah, eh-yeaaah
Eh yaaaay, uh huh o-o-o-oooooh, nighttime
Nighttime nighttime
