Last Night
Kid 'N Play Lyrics

Last night, last night changed it all
The events of the previous night had a profound impact on the singer's life.

Last night, I really had a ball
The singer had an immensely enjoyable and memorable time the previous night.

(Last Night) I was on the phone
The singer was making a phone call at the beginning of the story.

My girl was tellin' me she was all alone
The artist's girlfriend revealed that she was alone.

So I asked her if she was down to go
The artist asked his girlfriend if she was willing to go out.

To Union Square, check out the show
The singer suggested going to Union Square to attend a performance.

She said O.K, she'd never seen Red spin
The singer's girlfriend agreed to the plan but mentioned that she had never seen Red perform before.

In order to go she'd have to bring a friend
The girlfriend mentioned that she could only go if she could bring a friend along.

Thought if I hooked things up gettin' paid would be a shoo-in
The artist expected to earn money if the plan came together.

Hmmm, wonder what Playboy's doin'
The artist wondered about the activities of his acquaintance, Playboy.

Called up Play and asked if he'd

Do me a favour, help me get skeezed
The artist asked for Play's assistance in securing the company of girls.

He said...
Play responded to the singer's request.

"Alright, Kid, Imma do this for you
Play agreed to help out his friend, but he wanted something in return.

But make sure I get a piece too"
Play wanted a share of the financial gain the singer expected.

He gave me the sign
Play signaled the artist when he was ready to proceed.

"Yo, I ain't with that, I'm outta here..."
Play was not attracted to the girl he was matched with and decided to leave.

He wanted to lose her
Play was determined to avoid spending time with the girl he was matched with.

We got in the car, he began to abuse her
After Play broke up with his match, he began criticizing and insulting her.

Broke on her face, said it was a crime
Play insulted the girl's appearance and called it a crime.

Aha ha, I covered my ears, tried not to listen
The artist tried to avoid hearing Play's insults by covering his ears.

All the way to Union Square
The group traveled in the car to Union Square.

Hip-hoppers and coppers were everywhere
The area was full of hip-hop enthusiasts and police officers.

I have to admit it was quite a scare, y'all
The artist was intimidated by the atmosphere in Union Square.

(Brooklyn! Brooklyn!) Yeah, that's right
The singer identified himself as being from Brooklyn.

Was terrorizin' the Square
The group was causing chaos in Union Square.

(Last Night) I shoulda stayed at home
The singer regrets going out the previous night.

Now I'm stuck with a girl who won't leave me alone
The artist is burdened with a persistent girl's attention.

Stoppin' the car to end this ride
The artist stops the car to conclude the journey.

Steppin' on line to get inside
The group stood in line to enter a venue.

Gettin' ends together to pay my fee and
The group pooled their money to pay the entrance fee.

Choked when she said ("Playboy is treatin'")
The girl suggested that Play should pay for their entrance.

"No, I ain't payin'! You know what I'm sayin'?!"
Play refused to pay and expressed his displeasure.

"Yo, don't listen to him girls, hey, he's only playin'"
The artist tried to reassure the girls that Play was only joking.

She was lucky, word, cos I was set to ill
The girl was fortunate that Play did not become angry.

But Kid winked, slipped me ten and said ("Chill!")
The artist's friend, Kid, gave him money and urged him to calm down.

We were finally inside, man, the music was dope
The group was finally inside the venue and enjoying the music.

'til a troop bum-rushed a guy for his rope
A group of people aggressively stole a necklace from a man.

The next thing I knew a war broke out
A conflict erupted in the venue.

Kid and his dipped north, me and mine skipped south...
The group split up and fled in different directions.

(Last Night) My man Hurb rocked beats
The artist's friend, Hurb, performed as a DJ.

People started to dance and the riffin' ceased
The music caused people to dance and stopped any arguing.

I chilled upon the wall to catch my breath
The singer needed to pause and catch his breath against a wall.

Until this girlie jumped up and said ("This jam is def!")
A girl expressed her enjoyment of the music.

I saw she was a rebel, I was feelin' faint
The artist was intrigued by the girl's rebellious nature.

The hot body of a devil, the face of saint
The girl had an attractive body but also appeared innocent.

Could I have been wrong all night long?
The singer questioned his past actions and beliefs.

Was this the girlie I've been breaking on?
The artist wondered if this was the girl he had been interested in.

Upon further inspection I noticed somethin'
The singer examined the girl more closely.

She was more than def, this girl was pumpin'
The singer was impressed with the girl's character and personality.

I felt small, as small as an elf
The singer felt insignificant in relation to the girl.

After the things I said I know I played myself
The artist realized that his previous words and actions were foolish.

But I kicked it live and I must admit it
The artist enjoyed himself and was proud of his behavior.

It sounded good when she said, ("I'm with it!")
The girl expressed her willingness to associate with the singer.
