Story Behind The Song
On their single "Downtown," S.C.R.D. once again teamed up with the "Mermaid," world renowned violinist, Marissa Licata to craft an exquisite tale of temptation, dedication, and pure, unabashed urban fun and frolic through her violin's voicing.To lock down the groove, this dynamic duo tapped Eddie Eyeball, bassist of 2 Skinnee J's along with a young, talented singer/songwriter named EMCity.
Song Description
The video begins with superstar NYC producer Dj Journey dropping by to try to get Chuck to the studio, but he's preoccupied and heading downtown. Life imitates art, and art blurs life, the nights get longer, and the stakes get higher. When heading "Downtown," sometimes the night doesn't end, when the day begins.

Lyrics
Intro:
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
Got my keys in my pocket,
ready to rock it,
with my cellie in my hands,
and my girlie on stand-by
Waiting at home
for my baby on a drive-by
Yeah, yo I want to jump on it
Verse 1:
Booty shaking
beat-rocking to the top!
When others close their eyes,
we don't stop.
No holding breath,
then we can't breathe,
when I see it with my eyes,
then I'll (oooh ahhh ah)
fucking believe,
Roof deck dreams
and downtown riches,
with fly ass bitches,
insomniac sweets,
so raving delicious,
take ur selfie now,
it's sure to be vintage!
Pre-Chorus/Hook:
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown,
Got my keys in my pocket,
ready to rock it,
with my cellie in my hand,
and my girlie on stand-by
Chorus:
(Yeah)
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
Yo, I want to jump on it
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
I want to jump on it
Verse 2:
Signed, sealed, delivered,
on a poster yo you know
I'm coming over,
for some mouth to mouth,
no need to leave the house,
my signature, hand delivered,
Baby a little closer
You and I, maybe
You know we're supposed to
clean white sheets
fresh new beats
getting tangled up in bed
and a little head
it's a morning delight
after going all night
Pre-Chorus/Hook:
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown,
Got my keys in my pocket,
ready to rock it,
with my cellie in my hand,
and my girlie on stand-by
Chorus:
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
Yo, I want to jump on it
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
I want to jump on it
Verse 3:
I say goodbye
But I can't let you go
I say what I say
But you have to know
I do what I do
To protect myself
As much as I love you baby
There ain't nothing else
But a dream of love,
and lust
Fuck trust,
You and me
never more than a dream
at the end of the flight
In your head
At the end of the night
Pre-Chorus/Hook:
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown,
Got my keys in my pocket,
ready to rock it,
with my cellie in my hand,
and my girlie on stand-by
Chorus:
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
Yo, I want to jump on it
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
I want to jump on it
Verse 4:
Got my keys in my pocket
ready to rock it
with my cellie in my hand
and my girlie on stand-by
Waiting at home
for my baby on a drive-by
That's when I ride by
Stopping in to Say hi (ahh)
Before we sneak away
to make love all night
Yo I want to jump on it
Secret seductions
Yeah, damn right
Headed downtown
Baby coming all night!
Chorus:
(Yeah)
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
Yo, I want to jump on it
Going downtown,
downtown, downtown
I want to jump on it
