Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here come the nice, looking so good
He makes me feel like no one else could
He knows what I want he's got what I need
He's always there if I need some speed

Here come the nice (its understood)
Here come the nice (he'll make you feel good)
I'd be just like him (if I only could)
(You know you should)

You know you should meet the man (the man)
The man gonna help you all he can
You don't money to be wise

Here come the nice, looking so cool
Everyone knows the nice is no fool
He'll bring you up, and show you around
He's always there if your feet hit the ground

You know you got to try to meet the man (the man)




The man gonna teach you all he can
You don't need money to open your eyes

I know a place where I can I take you
make you feel so fine - if you ready
so pack your bags and come with me
I'll take you on a ride I know you're waiting
Cause the power in the music brings you far enough
And the beat that's in your heart will take control of you
It's the music of the night battles up that day - yeah

Tonight
People of the world unite
If you feel it then you know it's alright
Makes no difference if you're black or white

Real house music. Before it was called EDM. When djs had to buy vinyl and know how to beat match.

skurinski

EDM doesnt mean house, it means "electronic dance music", aka dance music/electronica. It includes all dance genres, from house, techno, trance, garage, drum & bass, ambient, dubstep, etc

andreskizzo I am very well aware. I was referring to the way it is referred to nowadays. 10 years ago the term EDM was used rarely. Check wikipedia for a more detailed explanation. :)
