(Lyrics)
Uh, Yeah
I come alive in the night
(I Come Alive)
I come alive in the night
(I come Alive)
(Hook)
Tokyo Street Life
Bright neon lights
You better hold it down
Or it’s end of your night
Loyalty and Respect,
Yeah that come with the pack
Don’t get it twisted, you how you should act
I have bushido in my blood,
Never in a rush,
Always holding it down,
No time to put up with the fuss,
Making authority wanting to cuss
Looking for that next rush,
I live for the night
for the mistakes, I have to make right.
I’m the type that goes with flow
Never holding on, got to let it go
What happened yesterday is part of history
Night we going harder burned, yakitori
You tired of dealing with those superficial bitches
Their stuck-up behavior all tsu type of witches
They all round trying to get in on your riches
While me and the boys cooking up some spicy dishes,
Grinding all day and blow off the steam, young and sleepless
See I never stop, I have that Lithium iron core
Long-lasting energy, like my name, is thor
And the mic is Mjollnir, it always comes with me
Leader of this new school, you know I never freeze
(hook)
Tokyo Street Life
Bright neon lights
You better hold it down
Or it’s end of your night
Loyalty and Respect,
Yeah that come with the pack
Don’t get it twisted, you how you should act
(x2)
I come alive in the night, what did you expect?
Just because I haven’t put out a lot, you thought you were up next
Idiot’s will believe anything; you know a sucker’s born every minute
before one becomes aware of it, I trying to get every digit,
Left of the comma, you can hold off on the drama
I’m not a babysitter, and damn sure I’m not your Momma
Even though she calls me daddy, has me saved in her contacts
You know these girls are single-minded, on track with their pussy cat
Don’t really know how act when you hit them real deep
Paint that ahegao face over them before pass out asleep
Wolf leading the sheep, Legoshi, that makes me a beastar
Trying to find my Haru, Make a movie that real bizarre
Tokyo Street Life
Bright neon lights
You better hold it down
Or it’s end of your night
Loyalty and Respect,
Yeah that come with the pack
Don’t get it twisted, you how you should act
(x2)
