Atlantic City Me

Atlantic City eyes,

Painted in the sky.

The morning sun perched on the edge of the Atlantic City sea,

The ocean’s ebb sings an Atlantic City tune.

Boom, boom, boom—

You dance on my windowpane above the shore.

You silhouette the Atlantic City waters’ flow

And the sun’s morning glow.

Atlantic City Wise

Melt my heart with your Atlantic City disguise.

My chest is opened wide;

To never testify is my Atlantic City style.

Atlantic City lights paint the sky,

The night moon perched on top of the world.

The Atlantic City bay waves in a way

That currents an Atlantic City fragrance.

Boom, boom, boom—

You dance to an Atlantic City tune under my ceiling fan.

You emit a casino’s smell, an Atlantic City scent.

Atlantic City Rich

Fill my hands with seashells and chips

That I can pitch in the Atlantic City ocean.

Make a wish

To be in love, in love with your Atlantic City sage.

Close to the sea,

Under the lights,

You live silver, an Atlantic City life—

A ghetto by the beach.

I’m just a gangsta chasing your Atlantic City wild

Through the Atlantic City streets.

Bet the odds, and I’ll wager life.

I’ll be Atlantic City King,

Atlantic City Queen,

Atlantic City Me
