1000 Nights
Jaykae Lyrics

That's correct
Acknowledgement of a statement or fact

Then, in that central weekend, they were earlier removed for saying that
Referring to a previous event where they were kicked out for something they said

The police found us a-a nuisance, but I mean, I recall even
The police considered them a nuisance, but the singer recalls something else

We had the police ring lights on him
The police had their sirens on and were chasing someone

His judgment's clowned as mine, nothing feels right
The artist and someone else are both judged unfairly and feel out of place

Wish he could run but he's seeing blue lights
The subject wishes they could escape, but are being chased by the police

Knows this it is, thinking, "What if?"
The subject is contemplating different scenarios

More space in the sky, rep yourself for your life
The subject is advocating for creating more opportunities to succeed

Can't get past his migraine
The subject is dealing with overwhelming stress

Couple seconds back, he would've been okay
Looking back, the subject wishes they made a different decision

Wakin' up in bed to a new day
Starting a new day on a positive note

Reloadin' that new Jaykae, Ezrah, and Jorja Smith
Listening to a new song or album by Jaykae, Ezrah, and Jorja Smith

Feel like there was a way
The subject feels like they could have done something differently

Wrong turn down a one-way
The subject made a mistake and went down a one-way street

Drove too quick for the getaway
The subject was driving fast to escape a situation

Aw, that fool said they left the gate open
Someone made a mistake and left a gate open

Last line, dial silence 'til release day
The subject is waiting silently until they can be released

Heavy on the mind when the heart breaks
Emotional pain can be mentally heavy

Summit for the struggle and the dark days
Overcoming difficult times leads to personal growth

Won't be home in a thousand nights
The subject will be away from home for a long time

Wish you could just tell 'em it'll all be alright
The subject wishes they could reassure someone that everything will be okay

I know that I've tried every way that I could, oh
The artist has exhausted all their options trying to solve a problem

It's hard enough tryin' to prove everything that I should, oh
The singer is struggling to prove themselves

You've already lost a bet today, you can never find love
The subject has failed and feels they will never find love

A thousand nights, thinkin' all that you never did right
Reflecting on past mistakes for a long time

The judge just put him inside, nothing was right
A judge unfairly sentenced someone

Lost his job so the money was tight
The subject lost their job and is struggling financially

Left two kids and the mummy inside
The subject left their children and partner at home

Now daddy can't give no cuddles at night
The father is not able to be there and comfort his children

Was a troublesome guy, hustlin' by
The subject had a history of trouble and was hustling to survive

Everybody's raw, had enough of his lies
Other people are angry and fed up with the subject's lies

Always had Ps, now he's getting on top
The subject had money problems but is now becoming successful

And ain't tryna lose the love of his life
The subject doesn't want to lose someone important to them

Now he's juggling white
The subject is juggling illegal drugs

'Cause he's a man and he's got to provide
The subject feels societal pressure to provide for their family

He's scared but he's not gonna hide
The subject is afraid but won't run away

Got something hot in her eye
Someone got something in their eye

Before the red lights, he's got to decide
The subject has a decision to make before getting caught by the police

The blue lights, the cops pullin' up to the side
The police are pulling the subject over

Just tried doin' wrongs for the right
The subject made a bad decision with good intentions

The judge just threw him the book, shoe in the mud
The judge gave the subject a harsh sentence

Ain't got a clue what to do when he's short
The subject is unsure how to deal with a difficult situation

Knees deep in, can't move when you're stuck
The subject is in a tough situation and can't get out

He had one last shot, it was due a bit of luck
The subject had one opportunity left and needed some luck

So he grew a bit of bud, do it if you could
The subject started growing marijuana to make money

Better watch out if you do it in the hood
Growing marijuana in the hood can be dangerous

People can't stand when you're doin' alright
Others may become jealous if you are successful

And some little pricks wanna ruin somethin' good
Some people want to intentionally cause harm to something good

Fam, they ran in the house when his kids were asleep
People entered the subject's home while their children were sleeping

Fam, this shit was deep
The situation was very serious

And the news that he just got rid of his crap
The subject got rid of their illegal drugs

Said, "Anything you get, you can keep"
Someone is being offered to keep what they find

And they slapped him up in front of his girl
The subject was physically assaulted in front of their partner

Cleaned up, never gave it a sweep
The subject was not careful enough and left evidence behind

And he knew who he was, couldn't let shit slide
The subject knows their identity and won't let things go easily

Got mad and he jumped into his Jeep
The subject got angry and impulsively got into their car

Now, I don't wanna prove myself
The artist doesn't want to constantly prove themselves

But sometimes I gotta go one step further than them
The artist feels like they need to do more than others to succeed

I don't wanna roll with them or smoke with them
The singer doesn't want to hang out or smoke with certain people

I'm real when I heard they pretend
The artist is authentic while others are fake

Sometimes you step outside of your house
There are times when you need to leave your comfort zone

With no intention of servin' a ten
The singer doesn't plan on serving a 10 year prison sentence

Lose it all, start searchin' again
The singer has lost everything and needs to start over

Fucked up, feels like I'm cursed to the end (trust)
The artist feels like things are endlessly difficult and unlucky

Wrong turn down a one-way
The artist made a mistake and went down a one-way street

Two Js better than one J
Two joints are better than one joint

Two Js better than one J
Two joints are better than one joint

Two Js better than one J
Two joints are better than one joint

Two Js better than one J
Two joints are better than one joint
