Midnight |
| Q-Tip: |
| The night is my mind |
| The sun’ll still shine |
| But the night is on my mind |
| So parlay while I drop this rhyme |
| See, Jake be gettin illy when the sun get dark |
| They be comin out the heads, but shit don’t let me start |
| Their activities are plenty in nighttime (nighttime) |
| For the ghetto child, it seems to be the right time |
| See, kids be gettin stuck with jewels and fly gimmicks |
| Shorty see the action and then start to mimic |
| Runnin to the corner, the dice game is blazin |
| Lookin at the loot, it seems so amazin |
| Puts it short down, to be exact would bound |
| He shakes the stones in his hand, then he lets it down (uh!) |
| Scam money don’t make none |
| He threw a trip on the ace, now he’s out son |
| Hits the local bodega to woof down a hero |
| Son is on a 'Midnight Run’like De Niro |
| Spots the shorty rock standin on his block |
| The thieves be handlin in the pumps, so he asked it it’s not |
| Conversation that he kicked to the shorty was a sly one |
| Increased intensity, his dance sure was a fly one |
| Took her to the crib there she ran her gibs |
| About mind upliftment and bein positive |
| He yawned and he sighed til 1:05 |
| Then he finally realized that hunny wasn’t live |
| At least he didn’t plan on buildin for the evenin' |
| Threw the Fila on the dome and said 'Come on yo, we leavin' |
| Came out on the scene as he told her to beep him |
| Saw his man Sam with the blunt in his hand |
| (Aww Shhh!!!)You know the transaction |
| Brothas gettin lost in the weed satisfaction |
| Comin down the block man loud as (fuck) |
| You would swear Redman was inside the trunk |
| As the night seemed darker, cops is on a hunt |
| They interrupt ya cipher, and crush ya blunt |
| See you left your work at home, so they pat you down for nuthin |
| Why in the hell does 10−4 keep frontin? |
| You push to the park, even though it’s still dark |
| The kid is nice on the hoop, he said 'I'll spot ya troop' |
| The night is on my mind |
| The sun’ll still shine |
| But now the night is on my mind, the night is on the mind |
| The night is on your mind |
| A yo, the sun’ll still shine |
| But now the night is on the mind |
| As for me… |
| I’m a nocturnal animal, God concentrates |
| On a young black man, who makes the niggaz speak a shake |
| The nighttime is busy, it’s word to Aunt Kizzy |
| It’s the time we get down, yo son, you know the sound |
| The flavas on the top with the rugged beat to back it The night makes the aura and the J can’t hack it The way the moon dangles in the midnight sky |
| And the stars dance around, a yo, I think it’s fly |
| Intensity, most rappers don’t see it Spirit wise, musically, you gotta be it Serenity and sirens of the sounds and emotions |
| In the concrete jungle and the sun don’t bungle |
| I think it’s hard to find the words on how I feel |
| I paid about a deuce twenty for the Ampex steel |
| But let me slow down, I think I ran my gibs enough |
| Peace out to the Nation, stay rugged and rough |
| The night is on my mind, the sun’ll still shine |
| The night is on my mind, the night is on my mind |
| The night is on my mind, yeah, the sun’ll still shine |
| But now, uh huh, the night is on my mind |
| The night is on your mind, you know the sun’ll still shine |
| But now the night is on the mind, yeah, the night is on my mind |
| The night is on the mind, a yo, the sun’ll still shine |
| But now the night is on the mind, yeah, the night is on the mind |
| The night is on the mind, a yo, the sun’ll still shine |
