“Tonite” sees Twista ditch his usual tongue-twisting style for a more laid-back type of delivery on a song to honor the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
The Chicago emcee explained how the track came together:
I’m known to do a fast lyrical cadence, so any time I find a beat that I can pop a differen...
[Chorus]
Let me show you how it feel to touch the sky (To touch the sky)
We can both be who we are because tonight (Because tonight) is our night (Is our night)
And we were made to shine (To shine)
(Baby, tonight, girl)
Let me show you how it feel to touch the sky (Woo, touch the sky)
We can both be who we are because tonight is our night
And we were made to shine (Woo, to shine, to shine)
Twista
[Verse 1]
Windows all tinted (Who that?)
Take a glance, who all in it? Get back
You gotta move your hands, it's authenic, the track
I see you doin' your dance, you all in it (Uh)
Comin' to foreverland and pay a visit (Uh)
Can you do it dirtier than Diana did it? (Uh)
And if you think you the man, come on, admit it (Uh)
And if she think I'm the man, I wanna hit it (Come on)
Pardon me if you think I'm talkin' too soon
Giuseppe penny loafers and we could walk to the moon
I can tell you I feel like you a thriller (Ooh)
Me? I'ma boss with the swag of a drug dealer (Yes)
Who came across somebody who got work ethic playin' off the ball
You got it and I could see you livin' off the wall
You do it and you gon' do it right (Yes)
And I'm so happy you mine, we 'bout to shine 'cause
[Chorus]
(Baby, tonight, girl)
Let me show you how it feel to touch the sky (Woo, touch the sky)
We can both be who we are because tonight is our night
And we were made to shine (To shine, to shine)
[Verse 2]
It's all us (Yep)
Red bottoms on, tatted all up
Subtract, nope, I want you to add it all up
The facts, a power couple is what they call us (Yup)
Really gleam in the Chicago-illy theme
We're a team and I feel you lookin' like Billie Jean
When you walk, the ground light up (Blaow)
And when you talk, you brighten the whole night up (Bling)
Let's take a shot so we can party the night up (Uh)
Look at you dance, like it's diamonds on your glove when I look at your hand (Uh)
You the finest in the club, take a look at your fans (Uh)
And the women get jealous when they look at your man
Body so bad, I just gotta give props to you (Uh)
Cars go past and all of 'em'll stop for you (Uh-huh)
'Til the sunlight, I think I wanna rock wit'chu (Yes)
So high that we could fly so
[Chorus]
(Baby, tonight, girl, c'mon)
Let me show you how it feel to touch the sky (Woo, touch the sky)
We can both be who we are because tonight is our night
And we were made to shine (To shine, to shine)
[Outro]
Just like the stars, we were made to shine
Tonight is our night and we were made to shine
Let me show you how it feel to touch the sky
We can both be who we are because tonight is our night
And we were made to shine (To shine, to shine)
Baby, tonight, girl
We were made to shine (Woo, touch the sky)
(All because tonight) is our night
And we were meant to shine (Yeah, to shine, shine)
