[Intro]
(Soft vinyl crackle) Yo—yeah—uh
Ad-lib tag: "Own the night" — Own the night, feel the light (stutter: Own-own)
[Verse 1]
Low lights, rooftop breeze, friends packed in tight
City hum like a drum, neon chai stall at midnight
Hood of my car, two cups, laughter in the steam
Toast to small wins, big dreams, and midnight schemes
Hands in the air, slow sway, warm smiles in sight
Family close, crew loud, every shadow holds light
Silent vows in the echo of a bassline groove
We move like we're coded for this rhythm — watch us prove
[Pre-Chorus]
Heartbeat syncs with the kick, time folds in tight
Short breaths, long nights—hold it, hold it right
(Ad-lib) Own the night, own the night
[Chorus]
Own the night, feel the light (Own the night)
Own the night, feel the light (Own the night)
Raise your glass, drop your guard, let the skyline write
Our names in stars — Own the night, feel the light
[Rap Verse — 16 bars]
Dash to the spot, low lights, loose threads, life in flight, (1)
Code on my mind but tonight we toast in red threads, midnight rites. (2)
Neon chai steam, vendor chants, coins flip, small talk gold, (3)
Hood warmed like a hub, car speakers bumpin' stories told. (4)
Rooftop breeze scribbles secrets on the edge of the city, (5)
Two-step on grubby tiles, flipping sorrow to nitty-gritty pity. (6)
Internal rhymes, syncopate lines, watch the syllables snap, (7)
Short jab, long hook — heart stutters then comes back. (8)
Punchlines like headlights cut through the fog of doubt, (9)
We write code with our steps, semicolons keep the route. (10)
Friends in the rearview reflect brighter than any flex, (11)
Mama’s laugh on the line — that warmth pays the checks. (12)
Clap on two, slide on four, sub-bass hums the spine, (13)
Neon halo over hustles, we turn hustle into shine. (14)
One ear to the beat, one hand to the skyline’s script, (15)
Mic drop on the rooftop — this is life fully equipped. (16)
(Ad-lib tag) Own the night — own-own the light
[Post-Chorus / Tag]
We own the night — short call, crowd response
We own the night — clap-clap, repeat the song
(Repeat tag: Own the night) — ad-lib: "Feel the light" — "Feel the light"
[Bridge]
Slow now — lights dip, memories flood like rain
We trace old maps on new skin, laugh through the pain
Hindi line: "Raat jawaan, dosti anjaan" — meaning, hearts meet unplanned
Close your eyes, breathe the scene, promise in your hand
[Breakdown / Drop]
Beat cuts to thin air — a single tabla roll, then snap
Bass returns — dusty vinyl chop, DJ tag: "Own the night" (clap)
Space for a short verse or a sax solo — let the room breathe
Then bring back the chorus, louder — believe
[Final Chorus]
Own the night, feel the light (Own the night)
Own the night, feel the light (Own the night)
Raise your voice, pass the vibe, make this memory bright
Together we shine — Own the night, feel the light
[Outro]
(Whispered, vocodered) Own the night — keep the code, keep the flame
(Ad-lib fades) Own the night — till the dawn calls our names
