[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)


[AZ in background]

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!!)

I wanna chill on Sugar Hill, baby

I wanna chill on Sugar Hill, baby

I wanna chill, I wanna chill

I wanna chill on Sugar Hill, baby
