That Night - Blackalicious, The Lifesavas

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 10 o’clock the night is young we bout to do our thing

Far as the eye can see is 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' they hips to all the rhythms very beautifully

This really suited me maybe a few would be

Liftin' they shirt unveilin' flesh for all of you to see

Hunger was movin' me, time for a fool to eat

I had some alligator and some rabbit stew at Leaks

I’m movin' lucidly I’m feelin' stupid free

I get a call I’m wondering ayo, who could this be?

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

Ayo 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 know all of the ladies see

We’re moving through the scene flowing 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

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 Ls

Where the night’s a mirage embracing the bizarre

Four divas on Ducatis rolled up kamikaze

The leader in leather stretching out a hand to grab

In a flash we burned ground ten miles out of town

She had a fleet of helicopters on a 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

Oh what a night

We make the most of every moment

What a night

So amazing

(Now Gab told Vurs, and Vurs told me)

«Yea word is it’s poppin' over on Bourbon Street

I’m about to dip, maybe find me a treat»

(A'ight, me too I’ll be back around 3)

Big brother G-A-B was stylin' major

Vursatyl said Jumbo make 'em move it

So I thought about a style wit 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 beggin' and cryin' for somebody’s

Rhymin' to set you free

For God so loved the world he gave ya three

MCs that do it so greasy

Tell ya 'bout the night we blew the Big Easy

Dip off stage for some good Creole eatin'

Compliments of Brook Billion over in V-I-P

Mardi gras beads, he bowtie and vested

«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 dat!

Who dat!»

Whole House of Blues screaming

«Do dat!

Do dat!»

Yeah that’s my Quannum crew team and

A dime caught feelings now I’m schemin'

Look, you had to be there to get my meaning

Oh what a night

We make the most of every moment

What a night

So amazing

Oh what a night

We make the most of every moment

What a night

So amazing

Oh what a night

We make the most of every moment

What a night

So amazing
