Night After Night
Young Pappy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there are moments when I feel nothing at all
Same as always
Now it's repeating itself all over again
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Don't feel sorry
'Cause there's no reason for us to fight any more
Tears are coming, and years are going
I hope we'll learn something
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Night after night you say you move on
tomorrow, tomorrow
Now, what's holding you back?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
In Young Pappy's song "Night After Night," the artist reflects on the repetitive nature of failed relationships. The first stanza sets the tone for the song, with the lines "It all seemed perfect / But there are moments when I feel nothing at all / Same as always." This can represent the idea that everything may seem perfect in the beginning, but over time the relationship loses its luster and becomes monotonous.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Night after night you say you move on / tomorrow, tomorrow / Now, what's holding you back? / I don't know, I don't know." These lines highlight the back-and-forth nature of trying to move on from a relationship. Despite the desire to move on, something constantly pulls the singer back, and they are unsure of what is keeping them from fully breaking away.
The final stanza forgoes blame and pity, with the line "Don't feel sorry / 'Cause there's no reason for us to fight any more / Tears are coming, and years are going / I hope we'll learn something." Here, the artist acknowledges that sometimes relationships just don't work out, and that while it's important to learn something from the failed experience, there is no need for bitterness or resentment.
Overall, "Night After Night" is a contemplative and introspective song about the cyclical nature of relationships and the difficulty in truly moving on.

It all seemed perfect
At one point, everything appeared to be flawless in the relationship
But there are moments when I feel nothing at all
However, I have moments of emotional emptiness
Same as always
This cycle of feelings is recurring
Now it's repeating itself all over again
And the same situation is happening again
Night after night you say you move on
You claim to be moving on every night
tomorrow, tomorrow
But that promise is always for tomorrow, never today
Now, what's holding you back?
So, what is preventing you from actually moving on?
I don't know, I don't know
I honestly don't know the answer
Don't feel sorry
There's no need to apologize
'Cause there's no reason for us to fight any more
We have no reason to quarrel anymore
Tears are coming, and years are going
However, time is still passing and emotions are still present
I hope we'll learn something
But maybe we can learn something from all of this
Night after night you say you move on
You keep talking about moving on every night
tomorrow, tomorrow
But that time never comes
Now, what's holding you back?
So, what is the reason behind your inability to move on?
I don't know, I don't know
I truly don't know
Night after night you say you move on
You continuously promise to move on every night
tomorrow, tomorrow
But it never happens
Now, what's holding you back?
So, what could possibly be the cause of your delay in moving on?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I have no idea, no idea whatsoever

Live this life, shorty
It's Young Pappy and BuDouble, my brother
[Single Intro]
'Member them long ass nights? In the field with the steel, totin' chrome ass pipes
[Verse 1: Young Pappy]
'Member them long ass nights? In the field with the steel, totin' chrome ass pipes
And everybody tryna do this song, that's right
But in real life, I made this song last night, and whew!
Last night, it was one of them nights
I had so many hoes, I was feelin' like a dyke
I brought two of 'em home, exposed them to this life I lived
And both them hoes was tryna spend the night
I'm like: "Fuck it, since my main bitch wanna fight, I'm not gon' argue tonight!"
You good, shorty, you right
'Cause puttin' my hands on her, for what? I ain't the type
My pops taught me don't touch her, just fuck her like she your wife
So I do that
I swear, I'm the wrong nigga to shoot at
'Cause you can hide, but I'ma find wherever you at
Don't be surprised shells come flyin' wherever you at
Ambulance arrive, no, you dyin' wherever you at
I can merch it
'Cause, nigga, them hollow tips, it be hurtin'
If you ever get shot below your waist, then it ain't purpose
'Cause I'm tryna murk you
I'm tryna hurt you and then dirt you
And I won't forget about you, so I'ma go get a shirt, too, that say:
“Rest In Piss”
They like: “I love that 2 Cups”
That's my shit, she like: “I love you too much!”
That's some shit, he like: “Now fall back, lil' bruh, that's my bitch”
I'm like: “You ain't never just cuff!”
But niggas be crazy as hell
Smoke dope 'till my eyes get lazy as hell
Got a bad bitch ridin' and she crazy as well
And this .40 turn his brains to some gravy a meal
I'm crazy as hell
See this pain? You can tell
This anger I built, you get stained with the steel
You think you ridin' for him, flip his range with the kill
When you hear that .40 bang, see his brain, let her sing for you
Hold on!
Night after night seems like I rage against the moon
But it don't ever light the dark
I curse
[Verse 2: BuDouble]
I remember them never ending nights with my celly, and that bitch both smelly
23 in one, one shower a week
When they pop the trunk, got chow for us to eat and or the mail
Smellin' like my gal, I'll smell that shit
Inhale that shit, think: “Fuck that bitch!” ‘cause she want me to pick
I ain't finna be stressin' over no bitch while I'm doing the bitch
So fuck it, back to the subject
“Celly, if it's mine, don't touch it!
If you drop it, better flush it!”
They shake this bitch and you got contraband
Boy, admit that it's yours, and you just gotta cuff it
Yeah, I remember them lonely ass nights
I was wandering why my homies ain't right
Maybe 'cause they doing wrong
Shit, I'm doing wrong, and I still find time to write some of the bros
Let 'em know that I'm here
Hold your head up, shorty
Trap halfway, Drizzy just took 40
Damn, they just gave a real nigga 40
That's worse than hearin' that it ain't yours on Maury
Niggas ain't real, heard it night after night
Lost a few homies to this life, not a fight, right?
R.I.P. 'em all on the mic
Two cups full of ice, drinkin' Sprite after Sprite
I done been there, done that
Mask up, gun block
Night after night, makin' bitch niggas run that
Yeah, pussy nigga, run that!
Cross over to the other side, you won't come back
Yeah, I'm talkin' barrier, hearts getting heavier
Six of your best friends got to carry ya
Met the streets, yeah, the first night that I married her
Damn, no wonder that my life why scarier
[Verse 3: Young Pappy]
'Member them nights when Sheen called my phone, like:
“Broski, I got the pipe
If nobody gon' ride, I know that you want to strike
I heard about that crazy shit you did when you was with your wife, so I know you with it!”
I pick him up, switch rentals, like: “Fuck it!”
Go opp hunting, see who I want, I'm like: “Slump it!”
He like: “I'll trunk 'em!”
I'm like: “Hell nah, 'cause then you gotta dump him
Might as well just slump him, Folk, bail out!”
Put two in his face that way he don't get to yell out
And if you get a case, real nigga, don't sell out
This crack money, I'ma save it up 'till you bail out
I pour two cups, light a L, put a L out
“It's TFG, this PBG!”
The shit I yell out
If you can seen a D.O.A., it's what it spell out
I'm street smart, but mamma told me: “Don't never fail out”
But I remember them nights when mamma told me: “Get the hell out!”
Hold on!
[Sample from Lori Perri's “Up Against The Wind”]
Night after night seems like I rage against the moon
But it don't ever light the dark
I curse
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night, night
Night after night
Night after night
Night after night, night
