Lyrics
Harlem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I spend my money on the regular miracles
Just like you, like me, like everybody else
Up on the sun looking sad and beautiful
Just like you, like me, like everybody else
When it gets loud, I turn it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in harlem
When it's too hot, I light it up
Light it up yeah smoke 'em if you got 'em
Here come the jets hide my money in your tube socks
Run like me, like hell, like everybody else
Hair metal on a japanese boom box
Kicks like you, like me, like everybody else
When it gets loud, I turn it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in harlem
When it's too hot, I light it up
Light it up, yeah, smoke 'em if you got 'em
When it gets soft, I shake it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in harlem
You're so sweet, but I like it rough
Light it up, yeah, smoke 'em if you got 'em
Making a movie on the couch with a flip phone
Just like you, like I, like fingers in your mouth
Up on the sun playing drums with a bleached bone
Just like you, like me, like everybody else
When it gets loud, I turn it up
Shake it like a bad girl up in harlem
When it's too hot, I light it up
Light it up, yeah, smoke 'em if you got 'em
