London Nights was a song S.O. wrote in his motherland, London on a brief visit. The song gives a brief narrative of his life a few years ago, testifying of how Jesus has continued to be faithful in his life.
[Verse 1]
Uh, riding through the city like I hold the keys
Uh, you feeling privy you ain’t know it’s me
Look, I just touched down can’t get hold of G
Yeah, we got shows to do, Sophie gotta eat
No hesitation, in and out the Radisson like I got no reservations
Thank God there’s somewhere to lay in
I remember sleepless nights in my big aunty basement
Dreaming all about this life, that’s a big understatement
I mean, look- used to only dream, then I found my purpose
Walking in it, ain’t no monkey business every time I surface
Uh, don’t want models twerking or that bottle service
Uh, good and faithful servant when he call it curtains
Was all but nervous, big things, they were all observant
Big dreams, I was sixteen with a couple verses
Huh, now I’m standing here, I could fill it up
Two hands in the sky when I give it up
[Chorus]
Who told you you can’t live your life
As a pilgrim? No
G told me I'mma be alright
That’s a real one, yeah
'Cause only real ones here by my side
They going pray for my soul in the night
I was told one day we gon' be just fine
Can you feel it? In these London Nights
[Verse 2]
Uh, riding through the city like I know the King
Show the ring if a shorty try to show her schemes
Young S with the naughty was my older thing
Now I’m blessed with a godly love Jehovah queen!
I’m going on, tailor-made, God sowed it in
Days we prayed, no more lazy days, we custodians
Walk by faith and it’s safe to say we were born to win
And if we fall on our faces, it’s time to go again
London Nights got me scheming and dreaming
Interceding for people, God gave me a reason
'Cause we leaning to evil, God, give us your Eden
'Cause we pray and we need You, Lord, this is the season
If You feed us, what guarantees we won’t leave with a grievance?
Pledge allegiance to evil leaders deceiving with treason, man
But as I’m standing here you could fill us up
Two hands in the sky when I give it up
[Chorus]
Who told you you can’t live your life
As a pilgrim? No
G told me I'mma be alright
That’s a real one, yeah
'Cause only real ones here by my side
They going pray for my soul in the night
I was told one day we gon' be just fine
Can you feel it? In these London Nights
London Nights was written by S.O..
S.O. released London Nights on Fri Nov 30 2018.
“After being away from London for a while, this was one of the songs GP and I made while I visited. I drove through my old neighborhood, saw my old house, reconnected with old friends, and put it all in a song. One thing holds true – be it day or night in London, Jesus is always needed.”
