Fly by Night - Nujabes, Five Deez

Daytime, nighttime, moonlight, sunshine

Stars stay bright like a filament’s first time

Lit, don’t quit is the way to rehearse rhyme

Fly by night, and we do within the first line

Daytime, nighttime, moonlight, sunshine

Stars stay bright like a filament’s first time

Lit, don’t quit is the way to rehearse rhyme

Fly by night, and we do within the first line

It’s mine like obsessive-compulsive

Two of the parents of toddlers and they terrible twos

We taking it back like one-to-one shoes

While you abuse rap standards, we controlling the news

Magnetic as des-hople impoccable tremendestance

We have some factory questions with various comments about

Hip hop and this that’s, stay without

Seminar’s at five we suggest that you register

This whole B-Boy style is secular

Away from anything, that’s why they drugging and sexing you

Into fatal poison, pleasure

We working on regular;

have to heed word to the professor

A position and technician, training instruments while incorporating this

position

The defendant’s remission requires some improvision

While the plaintiff’s story is stetted, microphone read it

Every time we drop rhyme schism in this fundamentalist condition we liable to

change

Radical reform and strange places out the norm, brace it and back in growth

We hit 'em with the dope like Florida shores of hope

They get beat like cats that lack sleep

You need to adapt, you hear the D’s on the track

Nujabes, put it on wax

We act like none of that shit really matters 'cause it don’t

And you won’t make it happen

We steady rapping and we keep it tight

Always rock the mic on sight

And stay fly by night

Remove all doubt, we gon' turn it out

Take the wildest party girls and leave 'em all burned out

If you ever take my hand you better be ready to roll

Non-stop, take control, to every spot I patrol

You should know my goal is representation at its finest

We stay pure, you stay insecure like Linus

I’m in the position I’ve chosen to put your body in motion

And to let the party people know the time’s approaching

To make your choices, the night’s young like the day is long

Most people pretend and they want you to play along

You know the vibe when it’s in your face, it’s brand new

Like it’s still in the case, so hold it down and keep the base

Parental advisory was the only advice to me

Until they let me stay like Terrence Trent

Who cares where their parents went

And know you know it, if you didn’t it’s likely

You remember seeing this vivid being out and (?)

Daytime, nighttime, moonlight, sunshine

Stars stay bright like a filament’s first time

Lit, don’t quit is the way to rehearse rhyme

Fly by night, and we do within the first line

Daytime, nighttime, moonlight, sunshine

Stars stay bright like a filament’s first time

Lit, don’t quit is the way to rehearse rhyme

Fly by night, and we do within the first line

I fly, nocturnal, not a flash in the pan

You might’ve saw me in the gym with two beats in my hands

Let it go, quick release, 'cause sharp like a crease

You in my face with that bullshit I’m like PICK-A PICK-A PIECE

Holla back, we’re several hundred miles away from you 'reents (?)

Every time we in the spot, the fly levels increase

I’m saying crack o' dawn, yawn, early AM to the PM

Is that there is gotta be a pay-to-see-em in museums

Rock it, coliseum, for per diem, for the love

Ride that there line like I’m surfing

These cats is purple

We striking thunder and they wondering why it ain’t working

Step into the mic concerned

So soon after introductions it was curtains

We stay original like staying high and staying fly, you stay dry

No wet it, but don’t forget it, Pase said it

And if I say it I’ll rep it for the records so check it on that

Ask-keeping baby girl, like yeah she can catch it in a second

Just give me a minute, all at the same time beautiful, lovely, ugly and wretched

But I’m all in it, fixing to set it it right

Fly by the night time like twinkle-twinkle shinin'

Not one of the smartest cats is buyin'

Known as to spite (?) but that’s aight

We keep it real, we stay up on the way up

Get the pay up front, they know not to play us

It’s decisive, complicated, like a DNA make-up

Put your cake up, you don’t want a big surprise

When you wake up in the…

Daytime, nighttime, moonlight, sunshine

Stars stay bright like a filament’s first time

Lit, don’t quit is the way to rehearse rhyme

Fly by night, and we do within the first line

Daytime, nighttime, moonlight, sunshine

Stars stay bright like a filament’s first time

Lit, don’t quit is the way to rehearse rhyme

Fly by night, and we do within the first line
