[English]

By day I'm chilled, saving my energy

I'm low-key but I got a table reserved

Some folks wanna see it all but they miss out on me

And some wanna spot my car on the road

But only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

It's obvious I changed my life, this night breeze takes me out of the hood

So flashy, focused on the road

It's just new cash hitting the old account

But with a locked face like I'm pissed off

Slit eyes like I'm high

Today I only love those by my side

I never lose, I only win or learn

Only at night rolling in the Bimmer

Wanna see me, gotta look way up

In the VIP with a few chicks

Got hoes for all my homies

Only at night rolling in the Bimmer

Wanna see me, gotta look way up

In the VIP with a few chicks

But only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

By day I'm chilled, saving my energy

I'm low-key but I got a table reserved

Some folks wanna see it all but they miss out on me

And some wanna spot my car on the road

But only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

only at night

[Portuguese]

De dia 'tou pausado, energia guardada

'Tou reservado mas com mesa reservada

Há quem queira ver tudo e de mim não vê nada

E há quem queira ver o meu carro na estrada

Mas só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

É notório que mudei de vida, esta brisa da noite me tira do biva

Tão vistoso, focado na pista

É só grana nova na conta antiga

Mas com cara trancada tipo 'tou chateado

Olho rasgado tipo 'tou chapado

Hoje eu só amo quem 'tá do meu lado

Eu nunca perco, ganho ou aprendo

Só de noite a rolar no bimmer

Queres me ver tens que olhar p'ra cima

No privê com umas quantas queridas

Tem molex p'a todos os meus niggas

Só de noite a rolar no bimmer

Queres me ver tens que olhar p'ra cima

No privê com umas quantas queridas

Mas só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

De dia 'tou pausado, energia guardada

'Tou reservado mas com mesa reservada

Há quem queira ver tudo e de mim não vê nada

E há quem queira ver o meu carro na estrada

Mas só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite

só de noite
