[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
I've been up for a thousand Emnights
AmNew York to London, different city every Emday, yeah
Playin' on, plAmayin' on, puttin' on 50 thousand liEmghts
Oh, AmI've been gone so long, gettin' up and gettin' fEmaded
AmN.C.
So I'm on, keepin' on, stayin' up for a thousand nights
[Verse 1: Meek Mill]
N.C.
This the type of shit we used to dream of (Yeah, yeah)
AmBad bitch look like Mona Lisa (Mona Lisa)
FEmlippin' off a yacht in Ibiza (Splash, water)
CAmlear port, hasta la vista
Do it all again when Emwe touchdown, everything bust down
TAm7eacher said I would lose, I be like, "What now?"
EmI started makin' moves, they showin' me love now
AmN.C.
Lit like a light bulb 'cause, bitch, I'm the plug now
And Emnow you know we poppin', we bubble like soda pop
And I see it, I lAmike it, I wake up, pull up, and go and cop it
The millions get wEmired, them Benny hunnids still go in pocket
N.C.
I party with Ed Sheeran, my homies still hold the rocket
'Cause EmI'm so hood, it don't make no sense
Still reAmmember the times I couldn't pay my rent
Now, I wEmalk in a stadium, tell 'em, "Play my shit"
N.C.
And they gon' sing like this
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
I've been up for a thousand Emnights
AmNew York to London, different city every Emday, yeah
Playin' on, plAmayin' on, puttin' on 50 thousand liEmghts
Oh, AmI've been gone so long, gettin' up and gettin' fEmaded
AmN.C.
So I'm on, keepin' on, stayin' up for a thousand nights
[Verse 2: Ed Sheeran]
LEmast night, I played a show at a stadium in Atlanta
HAmusband and wives, daddies and daughters with the cameras
EmI never thought it would get this big, but what does it matter?
AmN.C.
Everything is already part of a plan
I reEmmember, damn, me and my man inside of this Sprinter van
Am200 a night, end of 2010
Stayin' up Emin every city's Holiday Inn
If it wAmasn't there, then I was at the couch of a friend's
WeathersEmpoon's was an easy option to get a cheaper lAmunch and
£2 pint, the waitress maybe leave her number
OEmnto the next town, but now it's to the next continent (Woo)
AmAnd I don't think it's gonna be stoppin' anytime soon
BEmirds eye view, pay my dues for a two-mile queue
Don't need to rAmead reviews if you can't do the things EmI do
N.C.
Oh, let me invite you to my world
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
I've been up for a thousand Emnights
AmNew York to London, different city every Emday, yeah
Playin' on, plAmayin' on, puttin' on 50 thousand liEmghts
Oh, AmI've been gone so long, gettin' up and gettin' fEmaded
AmN.C.
So I'm on, keepin' on, stayin' up for a thousand nights
[Verse 3: A Boogie wit da Hoodie]
N.C.
Mmm, I'm so faded, yeah
N.C.
I don't even know how much I made this year
N.C.
I'm so used to bein' on some player shit
N.C.
Cheated on my girlfriend with a fiendish bitch
HoEmodie on pull up, just like the Reaper, yeah
I do tAm7his on the regular, make you seem off, yeah
St. LEmaurent, Gucci sweater, the red and green Moncler
Me and Am7Meek and Ed Sheeran just like the Beatles, yeah
From her hEmead to her toe, she know she be flee, yeah
EveryAmday, I be seein' her and Selena, yeah
EmShe wanna come closer, but I don't see us there
I'm not a reAmgular person, I be low-key all year
From NEmew York out to London she was, she was with me all the time
And IAm've been on the road, so I know she couldn't call my line
EmN.C.
And now I see she got her ass and titties done for a thousand likes, meh
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
I've been up for a thousand Emnights
AmNew York to London, different city every Emday, yeah
Playin' on, plAmayin' on, puttin' on 50 thousand liEmghts
Oh, AmI've been gone so long, gettin' up and gettin' fEmaded
