Nighttime Maneuvers

Yo, I need some ice cream, for the nighttime
 Uh, for the 9-1-0, for the 9-1-9
 When the sun go down, we still shine divine
 We still shine divine, for the 9-1-9
 And the 9-1-0, and the 3-3-6
 When the nighttime come, that's how we do that shit
 That's how we, that's how we do that shit
 Aiyyo, it's the new fla-vour, the next step
 Phonte, best kept secret since the AIDS cure (word)
 I stay raw, whether they bootleg it or pay for it
 Old school like Prince De Jour when he was hostin
 Rap City with finger waves on, I put my name on
 The map through dismantlin embarrassin arrogant cats
 And battlin because their raps ain't astonishin
 Got niggas in the club spittin out they Heinekens
 Like, "Goddamn it, when that nigga 'Te gon' rhyme again?"
 He nice with the homonyms - ill flow
 I guess I got it from my mom and 'nem, fo' real though - who does it finer?
 This one is for the MCs in Carolina
 Three in the mornin, insomnia rhymers
 That say, "Yo, let's put the drama behind us, just let the beats rock"
 Start a cipher while the wack niggas eavesdrop
 9th's mouth flick it on the beat box
 9th always hit me in my sweet spot
 Go to the crib, drink some Peach Schnapps
 And doze off to Pete Rock, what
 For the 9-1-0, for the 9-1-9
 When the sun go down, we still shine divine
 We still shine divine, for the 9-1-9
 And the 9-1-0, and the 3-3-6
 When the nighttime come, that's how we do that shit
 That's how we, that's how we do that shit
 Aiyyo this is for the 9-1-0, for the 9-1-9
 When the sun go down, we still shine divine
 We still shine divine, for the 9-1-9
 And the 9-1-0, and the 3-3-6
 When the nighttime come, that's how we do that shit
 That's how we, that's how we do that shit
 "When the nighttime covers the city"
