lyrics

Darkness is creeping
Evil is walking
Darkness is creeping
Evil is talking
You better look good when they come for you
You better look nice, dripping in ice

I wear my shades in the club like it’s 1995
I’m real high, clothes fly
Hips swigging from the left to the right
That’s right
Don’t pop pills I pop style
And I’m never out of it
Cause I made it, I built this
I walk like I own this
Don’t doubt this
And I’m mashing the city, JB's way
You can get with it or maybe look the other way
We stay stunning, grinding
Motherfucking hustling 'til we dead sleeping
Counting sheeps one by one
Jumping in my bank account
While I’m whistling and monkeying around
Educated apes on your marble grounds
But these sweet grapes aren’t for your filthy mouths
So you can close that
You can walk back
Give my respect to your momma
And your handsome dad

Nod and smile
When in doubt, when in doubt, huh
You should nod and smile
When in doubt, when in doubt, yeah
You should nod and smile
When in doubt, when in doubt, yeah
You should nod and smile

I wear my shades in the club like it’s 1994
I'm real sore and tired to the core
The city is ill, Matic
They scared to look, not scared to kill
They dancing with automatics
And you want explaining
Why the people's singing
Why the people's thinking
So you can point fingers
And pull triggers
It’s way easier
To blame me
And my sisters
But would you look inside you to get bigger
Oh, would you look inside you to get realer
It’s the rule of three
First you’ll dislike me
Second you’ll ask your friends if they heard of me
And third, you’ll start biting me (where the food at?)
You’ll keep asking for me (where she at?)
You’ll want some more of me (gimme that)
But this dick ain’t free (it ain't hard to tell)

Nod and smile
When in doubt, when in doubt, huh
You should nod and smile
When in doubt, when in doubt, yeah
You should nod and smile
When in doubt, when in doubt, yeah
You should nod and smile

You better look good when they come for you (nod and smile)
You better look fly when they come for your guy (nod and smile)
With your Jays on and your chains on, yeah
Oh, you think you will change their minds? Na na na

I wear my shades in the club like it's 1994 (nod and smile)
I wear my shades in the club like it's 1996 (nod and smile)
I wear my shades in the club like it's 1999 (nod and smile)
I wear my shades in the club like it's right now

about

Mimo New York, New York

Montreal-born and New York-based music artist Mimo reps Harlem and the 514 on the daily. When it comes to music, Lo-Fi vibes, flowing poetry, Neo-Soul—with an alternative R&B feel may be the closest terms to define her sound. Mimo’s style is essentially a blend of heartfelt music, reflecting her essence: something she casually calls “Street Jazz.” ... more
