| [Chorus: Miss Jones] I wanna chill (Chill) on Sugar Hill (It’s so lovely, so lovely) AZ’s for real (Oh, he's for real) He's for real (It's so lovely, sippin' on bubbly) [Verse 1: AZ] At times, I window-watch out the Marriott Zonin' on ownin' co-ops, foreign drop-top Coupes and yachts Guzzlin' straight shots of scotch Formulatin' up plots to escape from 'Salem's Lot 'cause it's scorchin' hot Makin' it hard tryin' to figure who's out to trap me — Pataki Got all kinds of undercovers that's comin' at me Perhaps he won't be happy 'til they snatch me And place me where half us blacks be, sittin' in Coxsackie But never me, see, my destiny's to be forever free In ecstasy, on a hill that awaits for me So plush, just to visualize is like a coke rush Vivid enough to make livin' this a must, plus, it's real... [Chorus: Miss Jones] I wanna chill (Chill) on Sugar Hill (It’s so lovely, so lovely) AZ’s for real (Oh, he's for real) He's for real (It's so lovely, sippin' on bubbly) [Dialogue: AZ] A-yo, son, pull the shades down and let's count this money Put the Grants in the safe, 'cause we spendin' the Jacksons The Washingtons go to wifey, you know how we do [Verse 2: AZ] No more cuttin' grams and wrappin' grands up in rubber bands I'm a recovered man, our plan's to discover other lands Suburban places got me seekin' for oasis Cristal by the cases, ladies of all races with dime faces Sex on the white sand beaches of Saint Thomas Though this ain't promised, I'm as determined as them old-timers I want a villa in a Costa Rica So I can smoke my reefer, and enjoy how life's supposed to treat ya Laid in the shades of the Everglades, finally forever paid Wearin' the finest fabrics tailors ever made Me and my team, Caribbean cuisines I guess bein' down for so long, I'm all in-store to see my dreams [Chorus: Miss Jones] I wanna chill (Chill) on Sugar Hill (It’s so lovely, so lovely) AZ’s for real (Oh, he's for real) He's for real (It's so lovely, sippin' on bubbly) [Verse 3: AZ] So until I see past the green pasture Me bein' supreme master, ain't much more of life I fiend after But another chapter, a new way of life to adapt to 'Cause these streets'll gas ya, and have ya caught up in the rapture Déjà vu, I could vision my killer crew more hospitable Consciously aware, plus political (Political) 'Cause though they claim every man's created equal Us as native people, find it harder for nights to sleep through But once established, we eatin' lovely, livin' lavish Like the House of Versailles in Paris, I gotta have this It's so plush, just to visualize is like a coke rush Vivid enough to make livin' this a must, plus, it's real... [Chorus: Miss Jones] I wanna chill (Chill) on Sugar Hill (It’s so lovely, so lovely) AZ’s for real (Oh, he's for real) He's for real (It's so lovely, sippin' on bubbly) [Outro: Miss Jones] It's so crazy, I'm down with AZ It's so lovely, sippin' on bubbly It's so crazy, Jones and AZ It's so lovely, sippin' on bubbly (Woooooo!!)
