Slickie “3am In DC”

A cinematic late-night travel interlude introducing the emotional world of “Destination Nowhere.” Slickie reflects on moving city to city while memories, relationships, and loneliness follow him through airport terminals, rainy highways, and sleepless nights. Smooth electric guitar melodies, ambient airport textures, and emotional TrapSoul vocals set the tone for the journey ahead.
A late-night DMV anthem blending smooth R&B, TrapSoul, and Go-Go inspired energy. “3AM In DC” captures the feeling of cruising through Washington DC, PG County, and Southeast after midnight — luxury rides, smoky windows, beautiful women, hookah lounges, studio sessions, and emotional late-night city memories. Slickie delivers a smooth, melodic performance over jazzy electric guitars, live percussion grooves, and atmospheric nighttime production that feels cinematic, soulful, and deeply rooted in DMV nightlife culture.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
(Mmm-hmm)
Yeah
Yeah

[Verse 1]
It's 3:00 AM in DC
Just rolling through the city
Got some girls who want to ride
And Chill with me all night
Some from VA
Of course a little chocolate in Mo County

[Chorus]
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC (DC)
The whole city they know me
Driving slowly through PG (PG)
Windows so smoky (so smoky)
They can't even see me
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
Show me love like I'm from Southeast
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
In the morning (in the morning)
In the morning
In the morning, yeah

[Verse 2]
She was walking past Howard, looking too fine
Had to spin the block, holler at her one time
Said she from Southeast, man it's rough out there
Traphouses on every corner, D-boys everywhere
I said it's a little late to be alone in these streets
She said, "Boy, I'm born and raised in DC"
You don't gotta worry about me
Just such a gentleman, come by and I’ll take you to Ben's, or
Early mornings, views down at the harbor
She’s taking a little time out for me
Appreciate the love I get in the city
Late night studio session with Plain and B
Up early in the morning in DC

[Chorus]
[full band with electric piano pads]
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC (DC)
The whole city they know me
Driving slowly through PG
Windows so smoky
They can't even see
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
Show me love like I'm from Southeast
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
In the morning
In the morning
In the morning, yeah

[Vamp]

3 AM… still ridin’…
Still ridin’…

Windows low… we slidin’…

Still ridin’…
Windows low… we slidin’…
We slidin’…

PG, where y’all at?

Right here!

3 AM in DC… we don’t sleep!

[Chorus]
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC (DC)
The whole city they know me
Driving slowly through PG (PG)
Windows so smoky (so smoky)
They can't even see me
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
Show me love like I'm from Southeast
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
In the morning (in the morning)
In the morning
In the morning, yeah

Three in the morning, the pancake house (come on)
Four in the morning, we'll be rolling to her house (what?)
Five in the morning, the lights go out (yeah, yeah)
Six in the morning, she show me what she all about (what?)
Seven in the morning, she'll be catchin a empower
Eight in the morning, she say she need another hour (uh, yeah, come on, come on)
Nine in the morning, and she just gettin' home (yo, yo, yo)
Setting up our next scenario, now here we go

[Chorus]
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC (DC)
The whole city they know me
Driving slowly through PG (PG)
Windows so smoky (so smoky)
They can't even see me
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
Show me love like I'm from Southeast
It's 3:00 in the morning in DC
In the morning (in the morning)
In the morning
In the morning, yeah

Three in the morning, the pancake house (come on)
Four in the morning, we'll be rolling to her house (what?)
Five in the morning, the lights go out (yeah, yeah)
Six in the morning, she show me what she all about (what?)
Seven in the morning, she'll be catchin a empower
Eight in the morning, she say she need another hour (uh, yeah, come on, come on)
