That Night

Ayo Vurs told Jumbo and Jumbo told me:

(Word is it's poppin' over on Bourbon Street

Now I'm about to dip, maybe find me a treat)

Aight me too, let's meet back around 3

It was the crew and me

We down in New Orleans

It's ten o'clock, the night is young

We bout to do our thing

Far as the eye can see it's people

Lots of brew and beads

We celebratin' it's a party poppin', true indeed

Met about 2 or 3

Fine ladies who would be

Movin' hips to all the rhythms very beautifully

This really suited me

Maybe a few would be

Liftin' their shirts revealin' flesh for all of you to see

Hunger's moving me

Time for a food to eat

I have some alligator and some rabbit stew with leeks

I'm moving lucidly

I'm feelin' stupid free

I get a call I'm wondering "yo, who could this be?"

(It's Jumbo, man, what's poppin' with you, how you doin', G?

Yo, I heard about this spot tonight if you are D..

O-W-N to go through I heard the do it B..

I-G I'll see you there at midnight, holla later, peace)

I'm feeling crazy geeked

This is the way to be

I'm dancin' in the public view, all of the ladies see

Maneuver through the scene

Flowin' so fluidly

Long as I live I won't forget that night in New Orleans

Oh what a night

We make the most of every moment

Oh what a night

So amazing

Ayo, Jumbo told Gab, and Gab told me:

(Word is it's poppin' over on Bourbon Street

Yo, I'm about to dip, go and find me a treat

Yo, Vurs don't be late, let's meet back around 3)

Alright y'all

Mardi Gras, New Orleans, round nightfall

Full moon, French Quarter

I heard the tales of the city of veilsWhere the nights are (mirage and embracin' the bizarre[?])

Four divas on Ducatis rolled up kamikazi

The leader in leather stretchin' out a hand to grab

In a flash we burned ground ten miles out of town

She had a fleet of helicopters on the landing pad, boom!

Within minutes we all on Mount Driskill

Overlooking the summit, there's more than 600 people

Waiting to burst. The party shaking the Earth

Men and women in white linen all screaming when I walked in

And the host, former Forbes cover billionaire

Was a Lifesavas fan, found out we was there

Shook my hand and said, "You're the guest of honor, old sport

Sorry for the theatrics, but I had to act quick

Tonight anything you want, just ask

And if you play a couple songs, I can pay you in cash"

And as I reached to call Jumbo, I could hear him up close

Sayin' (Vurs you here too? Let's give 'em a little dose)

Like

(Oh what a night)

While the crowd unifies and fireworks illuminate the sky

An amazing ride

You couldn't beat the price, man

Miracles never cease in life

(Now Gab told Vurs, and Vurs told me:)

Yeah, word is it's poppin' over on Bourbon Street

I'm about to dip, maybe find me a treat:

(alright, me too I'll be back around 3)

Big brother G-A-B was stylin' major

Vursatyl said, "Jumbo make a movie"

So I thought about a style with a Kool Aid smile

Word up, my crew already knew it

Now you know you're gonna stress

Shorties wanna sex

Xcel was gettin' live on the 2 decks

You been begging and crying for somebody's

Rhyming to set you free

For God so loved the world so he gave you three

MCs that do it too greasy

Tell you 'bout the night we blew the Big Easy

Dip off stage for some good Creole eatin'

Complements of (Brook Billion[?]) over in VIP

Mardi gras beads, he bow tie invested

Meet up at Tipatina's at 3, he suggested

The streets now

Balconies are crazy crowded

Flash to Vurs sayin'

Next bucket list outin'WHO THAT, WHOT THAT

Whole House of Blues screaming

DO THAT, DO THAT

That's my Quannum crew teamin'

A dime caught feelings

Now I'm schemin, look

You had to be there to get my meaning
