Blackalicious
That Night
[Verse 1: Gift of Gab]
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
[Hook]
Oh what a night
We make the most of every moment
What a night
So amazing

[Verse 2: Vursatyl]
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
[Hook]
Oh what a night
We make the most of every moment
What a night
So amazing

[Verse 3: Jumbo]
(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
[Hook]
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
