Just In Case
City Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me and my friends have been showing off.
And me and my crew will make this night,
One to remember.
But be forewarned,
We don't put off with mouthing off.
So bring your friends and I'll bring mine;
Just in case, you don't know,
We're the kids who own the skyline.
I guess you should've known better than to run your mouth.
Because it's goin' down.
Now listen up, grab your boys it's time to set it off
We promise to, make this a night you'll never forget.
We'll never sleep, we're too young
It's time to wind it up
My friends, my family, all around me
When I get home
When I get home.
Just in case, you don't know,
We're the kids who own the skyline.
I guess you should've known better than to run your mouth.
Because it's goin' down.
And when you see us comin',
You best believe that we mean business.
There's nothin' we like better than to call you out.
We're gonna take you, down!
We're gonna take you down.
We're gonna take you down. (down, down, down)
I guess you should've know better than to run your mouth.
(Run your mouth! )
There's nothin' we like better than to...
CALL YOU OUT!
Just in case, you don't know,
We're the kids who own the skyline.
I guess you should've known better than to run your mouth.
Because it's goin' down.
And when you see us comin',
You best believe that we mean business.
There's nothin' we like better than to call you out.
We're gonna take you down!
The City Lights' song "Just In Case" is a song about a group of friends who are planning to have a good time when they get together. They are warning others not to mess with them because they don't take kindly to people who run their mouths. The lyrics convey a sense of confidence and ownership, as the group sees themselves as the "kids who own the skyline." They're not interested in sleep because they want to fully experience the night with their friends and family all around them.
The song's chorus, "just in case you don't know, we're the kids who own the skyline," speaks to the group's confidence and pride. They want others to know who they are and what they're capable of. The line "I guess you should've known better than to run your mouth" warns others to watch what they say if they don't want to face the consequences. The refrain "we're gonna take you down" shows that the group is not afraid to show their power and stand up for themselves.
The song's message is not entirely positive or negative, but rather a mix of both. On one hand, it promotes confidence and pride in oneself and one's friends. On the other hand, it also implies a sense of aggression and the need to prove oneself. Overall, the song encapsulates the feeling of youthful energy and a desire to have a good time, while also warning others not to mess with the group.

Just because a band is influenced by any certain band doesn't necessarily mean they hope to be that band. I'm pretty sure every band and member of said band aspires to make a name for themselves through their music as a band.
