Nights In Harlem (feat. Marcella Precise)

There's a party in Harlem, come onI like to reminisce about that night we kissed

It was somewhere one night in Harlem

The nights were hot and bright

You could treat your honey right

?Cause Sylvia's would burn all nightThe people there were really something

(You know that's right)

The music always kept us jumping

And it used to knock me down

When Smokey came to town

(And the miracles, please)

My favorite song was "Tears Of A Clown", oh yeahThere ain't nothing like them nights in Harlem

They really shake the funk up there

Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

And I'm gonna take my baby back

To the heart of HarlemBig sister had a group

And they'd sit out on the stoop

And Lordy could they harmonize (Oh yeah)

My cousin Joe could blow

Just like the radio

And he used to drove them "B" girls wildBut when grandma started happy dancing

(Oh, she gon' break somethin')

She really turned the mother out

I like the way they do it up in Harlem

When there's a party up in Harlem

That's what it's all aboutAin't nothing like them nights in Harlem

They never fake the funk up there

I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem

And tonight I'm gonna take her back to the 'polloThere's a party in Harlem

They say that all the stars will be there

Everyone is going to Harlem

Harlem is a party and everybody's going thereFollow me visually, ?cause I usually be all around

Originally everybody headed uptown

Finessing the fly way you ?cruisin in your car

On the West Side to the highway, East Side D-R

And yes, we are about to set it

Forget it, I thought you knew

The Apollo is where I had to go with my crew

From BMW's to my daddy's Cadillac

He had the sunroof top wit the diamond in the back

Check the ambiance, the place a renaissance

Who frontin' nonchalant up in the restaurant

What you really really want, we grabbin' by the clutch

Precise can flaunt with this and never too much

It's such a love flow, high but natural

The thug's a no-show, and drugs a no-no

The only thing that they was shootin' was pool

While Harlem nights was right, the party was coolNothing like them nights in Harlem

They really shake the funk up there

Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

I'm gonna take my baby back to the heart of HarlemNights in Harlem

They never fake the funk up there

I met my Cherie Amour in Harlem

Back to the Harlem ApolloNights in Harlem

They don't let you fake the funk up there

Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

I'm gonna take my honey

Back to the Harlem ApolloNights in Harlem

They really shake the funk up there

Tonight I'm gonna stomp in Harlem

I'm gonna take my baby

Back to the Harlem Apollo
