Let's give 'em a little dose") Like (Oh what a night) While the crowd unifies and fireworks illuminate the sky An amazing ride you couldn't beat the price, man Miracles never cease in life [Hook] Oh what a night We make the most of every moment What a night So amazing [Verse 3: Jumbo] (Now Gab told Vurs, and Vurs told me) "Yea word is it's poppin' over on Bourbon Street I'm about to dip, maybe find me a treat" (A'ight, me too I'll be back around 3) Big brother G-A-B was stylin' major Vursatyl said Jumbo make 'em move it So I thought about a style wit a Kool Aid smile Word up my crew already knew it Now you know you're gonna stress shorties wanna sex Xcel was gettin' live on the 2 decks You been beggin' and cryin' for somebody's Rhymin' to set you free For God so loved the world he gave ya three MCs that do it so greasy Tell ya 'bout the night we blew the Big Easy Dip off stage for some good Creole eatin' Compliments of Brook Billion over in V-I-P Mardi gras beads, he bowtie and vested "Meet up at Tipatina's at 3", he suggested The streets now balconies are crazy crowded Flash to Vurs sayin' "Next bucket list outin'" "Who dat!
