"Nobody needs to write a bio for me. This… Read Full Bio ↴In the words of SAINt JHN:
"Nobody needs to write a bio for me. This is stupid. My name is SAINt JHN, that's my real name, it's spelled a little different tho. I'm from Brooklyn, I spent half of my childhood growing up in Georgetown, Guyana. I was dirt poor in Brooklyn and some version of rich in Guyana, because apparently 2 nickles can buy you a sports car in a 3rd world country. Who knew?! I'm from a SUPER Christian household where my mom forced us to go to every church imaginable, EVERY, SINGLE, WEEK! I hated it. I still won't go to church to this day. I'm a product of a father that was a hustler, preacher for a mother and a rapper for an older brother. Jay z and Beenie Man were my musical hero's growing up. I don't know how to describe the music I make, don't know what genre it belongs to and I don't exactly care. I make what I want to hear and paint the pictures that I want to see in the world. I got my start writing songs for other people, I got lucky I don't know how that happened but I did. I wrote some records for Usher, Kiesza, Gorgon City and a few other people. I was having success, but then I quit, cause who wants to live their dreams through someone else's eyes. So I put out my first project, Collection One. And here we are now, I hope you like whatever comes next cause I have no fvcking idea!"
SAINt JHN has since released his third studio album "While The World Was Burning".
Some Nights
SAINt JHN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some nights I drink way too much and I smoke just to feel like I'm in a vibe
Some nights I kill myself just so I can feel like I'm so alive
Just so I can feel like I'm in a moment with you
And I wake up and do it all again I'm forgetful
Some nights
Some nights I drink way too much and I smoke just to feel like I'm in a vibe
Just so I can feel like I'm in a moment with you
And I wake up and do it all again I'm forgetful
Who the fuck needs trophies?
Money feed the kids. nigga gimme that
I'm not a shooter but I promise I know just how that semi' act
Baby boy, Gucci sneaks and I need my Saimilac
That steak is medium rare, not rare, send it back, send it back
Friction got us going our separate ways
I promised her forever starting tomorrow knowing that she'd never wait
So if I'm wrong now say that I'm wrong
Let me know
Some nights
Losing your mind the whole time
If you're all mine, then say you're all mine
We've both been blurring the lines, we're so blind
I say we're both trying, you say there's no time
I give you my all, so ain't nothing fucking left
You told me you're leaving, I told you I ain't gone cry, so I never wept
And I gamble with my life, so tonight I'm placing heavy bets
Some nights
Some nights I drink way too much and I smoke just to feel like I'm in a vibe
Some nights I kill myself just so I can feel like I'm too alive
Just so I can feel like I'm in a moment with you
Then I wake up and do it all again I'm forgetful

I can send a Uber for you right now
I can get you here in like 20 minutes
When you come here, we like that
What we gon' talk about soon as we finish?
That's a waste of time
I can't be yours, and you can't be mine
This can not rewind
We can not both be so blind
I overspend on drinks, so you can enjoy yourself
Let's not forget those moments, oh baby, oh
This shit got me too fucked up right now, pardon me
It's hard to let go of you, 'cause you're a part of me
Some nights, some nights I drink way too much
And I smoke just to feel like I'm in a vibe
Some nights I kill myself just so I can feel like I'm so alive
Just so I can feel like I'm in the moment with you
Then I wake up and do it all again, I'm forgetful
