City Look Good On Me Tanisha (Fire Cut)

[Start] [Intro – Spoken / Bright Pop-Rap Bounce] Tonight? Don't worry about me try'na preach No speeches. No lessons. No emotional syllabus. [pause] Tonight I’m cute. And the city agrees. [Beat Drops in Heavily] [Verse 1] Step out the door with the gloss still wet Little black boots and a gold hoop set Phone got plans, but I might not check Train line late, but I still look blessed Corner store light got me framed like art Cab rolled by with the tint too dark Somebody yelled, “Where you going like that?” I said, “Out, babe, try to adapt” London in the coat, New York in the walk Island in the waist when the speakers talk Hair done right and the mood on ten Might break hearts, might make friends No big drama, no grand design Just streetlights catching my good side Mirror said yes, so I had to agree Tonight the whole city look good on me [Pre-Chorus] If the night got rhythm I got two-step feet If the block got music I got front-row heat Let the lights come find me Let the bassline breathe I don’t chase the moment It keeps chasing me [Chorus] City look good on me Lights hit right when I cross that street Cute little fit, big main energy Everybody turn like, “Who that be?” City look good on me Neon kiss and a late-night breeze Smile too bright for the MTA I make Monday feel like Saturday Oh, oh, oh Tell the DJ run that beat Oh, oh, oh City lookin' good on me [Verse 2] Downtown packed, but I slide right through Best friend texting like, “Girl, where are you?” I said, “Five minutes,” knowing that’s fiction Time is a lie and I’m the contradiction Bodega cat gave a side-eye glance Like even he knew I earned this chance Grabbed one water and a cherry sweet Then moonwalked out to the city’s strange beat Got a little shimmer on my collarbone Got three missed calls that can wait till home Tonight I’m not solving nobody’s mess I’m booked and busy being overdressed Some nights need a cause and a fight Some nights need heels and a flattering light Tonight is glitter, no apology Tonight the whole city look good on me [Pre-Chorus] If the night got rhythm I got two-step feet If the block got music I got front-row heat Let the lights come find me Let the bassline breathe I don’t chase the moment It's chasing me [Chorus] City look good on me Lights hit right when I cross that street Cute little fit, big main energy Everybody turn like, “Who that be?” City look good on me Neon kiss and a late-night breeze Smile too bright for the MTA I make Wednesday feel like Saturday Oh, oh, oh Tell the DJ run that beat Oh, oh, oh City look good on me [Break – Spoken / Beat Pulls Back] And no, this outfit is not “too much.” This outfit is exactly enough. [pause] Some people dress for the occasion. I prefer to be one... Occasionally [Bridge] No deep meaning tonight No heavy little truth Just a good song playing And a fine girl loose No think piece needed No grand decree Just the whole block glowing And it looks good on me [Final Chorus] City look good on me Lights hit right when I cross that street Cute little fit, big main energy Everybody turn like, “Who that be?” City look good on me Neon kiss and a late-night breeze Smile too bright for the MTA I make every day feel like Saturday Oh, oh, oh Tell the DJ run that beat Oh, oh, oh City look good on me [Outro – Spoken / Groove Riding Out] Tomorrow I may be profound. Tonight? I’m moisturized, unbothered, and difficult to photograph badly. [Extended musical outro] [End]
