about

Is New York facing an identity crisis? While other emcees are quick to point out their views on the NY scene and it's cooled off status, Mic Handz and Jaz-O come bearing hope and are keen on bringing the heat back to the coast that birthed the genre. "Bright Lights," with it's inescapable head nodding, frantic piano direction and rugged rhymes from the aforementioned emcees, is the anthem for those who live and die for their home. From the Donald Robinson Cole directed video, which harnesses a nice contrast from light and dark to the almost mentor/mentee relationship between the legendary Jaz-O and the always dope Mic Handz, the song is bound to ignite the streets.

lyrics

HOOK (Mic Handz)

Bright Lights / Big City
Game tight we get right/
Come rock wit' me/
Shine bright/ in the lights of my city
Every day every night/
Come fuck wit' me
2x

VERSE 1 (Mic Handz)

From the tip of that empire state/
To the top of them new towers
Boy city great/ till it's late in them wee hours
Sun showers /keeping all streets wet
And a pocket / full of the paper
That'll eat most debts
Home of most east coast vets/ N.Y
All thorough/ never gave a fuck where we lay
We all borough
Conduit, Belt / Whitestone to the Tri-Boro
Sick as the Van Wyck/ around 6 as you cross boroughs
It's Handz
City spokesman/ controller elect
And I'm gon' give it up/ until people
Give niggas respect/ for real
Young Sinatra /hitting without the blue eyes
Stacked in the back of this rat pack/ telling true lies
It's Mr /oh Ah Oh Ah/ yeah he ill
Splitting the lane/ changing the game
Moving at will
Giving niggas the pill/ still they don't get no pass
They high and dry/
They loud/ but they don't get no ass
We in the clouds at last/ and we surfing on new levels
Every bar dat pass/ tilts a glass of that spade bevel
Deep as a grave shovel/ as we play on plots
And were doing it for the block/ as we lock down lots
In my city

HOOK (Mic Handz)

Bright Lights / Big City
Game tight we get right/
Come rock wit' me/
Shine bright/ in the lights of my city
Every day every night/
Come fuck wit' me
2x

VERSE 2 (Jaz-O)

From 644 Park Ave/
The student and the master of craft/
They still screaming/ its all on Jaz
From the rugged and the raunchy/
Cracks on the concrete/ blame me
It's my own asphalt
From shoe boxes to cash vaults/ me and my team
Supplied niggas with passports
Big city living
Spending like /everyday was Christmas and Thanksgiving
Glistening/
Summertime fringed
We ain't the pawns /we the dons /at cha' christening
Word on the street /and everybody's listening
Never married /but i keep wives drizzling/
Cause i mac (yep)/never microsoft
(com'on)
She going south/ I'm going North
Often/ they know the time /
Word to my cross wind
They call me Jaz/ i even ball in Utah/
Rhyme/ don't rap
Lines worth/ a mill sack

HOOK

Bright Lights / Big City
Game tight we get right/
Come rock wit me/
Shine bright/ in the lights of my city
Every day every night/
Come fuck wit me
2x
