The night is my mind |
| [00:18.946] |
The sun'll still shine |
| [00:21.499] |
But the night is on my mind |
| [00:23.275] |
So parlay while I drop this rhyme |
| [00:25.430] |
See, Jake be gettin' illy when the sun get dark |
| [00:27.844] |
They be comin' out the heads, but sh*t don't let me start |
| [00:30.479] |
Their activities are plenty in nighttime (Nighttime) |
| [00:32.901] |
For the ghetto child, it seems to be the right time |
| [00:35.482] |
See, kids be gettin' stuck with jewels and fly gimmicks |
| [00:38.420] |
Shorty see the action and then start to mimic |
| [00:40.846] |
Runnin' to the corner , the dice game is blazin' |
| [00:43.245] |
Lookin' at the loot , it seems so amazin' |
| [00:45.804] |
Puts it short down , to be exact would bound |
| [00:48.213] |
He shakes the stones in his hand , then he lets it down (Uh!) |
| [00:51.166] |
Scam money don't make none |
| [00:53.295] |
He threw a trip on the ace, now he's out son |
| [00:55.725] |
Hits the local bodega to woof down a hero |
| [00:58.457] |
Son is on a 'Midnight t Run' like De Niro |
| [01:01.139] |
Spots the shorty rock standin' on his block |
| [01:03.496] |
The thieves be handlin' in the pumps , so he asked it it's not |
| [01:05.923] |
Conversation that he kicked to the shorty was a sly one |
| [01:08.907] |
Increased intensity , his dance sure was a fly one |
| [01:11.456] |
Took her to the crib there she ran her gibs |
| [01:13.680] |
About mind upliftment and bein' positive |
| [01:16.151] |
He yawned and he sighed 'til 1:05 |
| [01:18.682] |
Then he finally realized that hunny wasn't live |
| [01:21.201] |
At least he didn't plan on buildin' for the evenin' |
| [01:23.810] |
Threw the Fila on the dome and said come on yo, we leavin' |
| [01:26.452] |
Came out on the scene as he told her to beep him |
| [01:29.115] |
Saw his man Sam with the blunt in his hand |
| [01:31.576] |
(Aww Shhh ...!) You know the transaction |
| [01:34.050] |
Brothas gettin' lost in the weed satisfaction |
| [01:36.611] |
Comin' down the block man loud as (F*ck) |
| [01:38.916] |
You would swear Redman was inside the trunk |
| [01:41.506] |
As the night seemed darker, cops is on a hunt |
| [01:44.207] |
They interrupt ya cipher, and crush ya blunt |
| [01:46.691] |
See you left your work at home , so they pat you down for nuthin' |
| [01:49.160] |
Why in the hel does 10-4 keep frontin'? |
| [01:51.854] |
You push to the park, even though it's still dark |
| [01:54.257] |
The kid is nice on the hoop, he said "I'll s spot ya troop" |
| [01:58.614] |
The night is on my mind |
| [02:00.503] |
The sun'll stilI shine |
| [02:02.737] |
But now the night is on my mind, the night is on the mind |
| [02:08.150] |
The night is on your mind |
| [02:10.630] |
Ay yo, the sun'll still shine |
| [02:13.065] |
But now the night is on the mind |
| [02:15.955] |
As for me ... |
| [02:17.100] |
l'm a nocturnal animal, God concentrates |
| [02:19.660] |
On a young black man, who makes the ni**as speak a sh*t |
| [02:22.330] |
The nighttime is busy, it's word to Aunt Kizzy |
| [02:24.854] |
It's the time we get down, yo son, you know the sound |
| [02:27.284] |
The flavas on the top with the rugged beat to back it |
| [02:29.939] |
The night makes the aura and the J can't hack it |
| [02:32.462] |
The way the moon dangles in the midnight sky |
| [02:34.807] |
And the stars dance around, ay yo, I think it's fly |
| [02:37.300] |
Intensity, most rappers don't see it |
| [02:40.052] |
Spirit wise, musicaly, you gotta be it |
| [02:42.605] |
Serenity and sirens of the sounds and emotions |
| [02:45.074] |
In the concrete jungle and the sun don't bungle |
| [02:47.566] |
I think it's hard to find the words on how I feel |
| [02:50.093] |
I paid about a deuce twenty for the Ampex steel |
| [02:52.547] |
But let me slow down, I think I ran my gibs enough |
| [02:55.051] |
Peace out to the Nation, stay rugged and rough |
| [03:08.533] |
The night is on my mind, the sun'll still shine |
| [03:14.210] |
The night is on my mind, the night is on my mind |
| [03:19.280] |
The night is on my mind, yeah, the sun'll still shine |
| [03:23.551] |
But now the night is on the mind, uh huh, the night is on my mind |
| [03:29.422] |
The night is on your mind, you know the sun'll still shine |
| [03:34.495] |
But now the night is on the mind, yeah, the night is on my mind |
| [03:39.615] |
The night is on the mind, ay yo, the sun'll still shine |
| [03:44.372] |
But now the night is on the mind, yeah, the night is on the mind |
| [03:49.516] |
The night is on the mind, ay yo, the sun'll still shine |
| [04:01.296]Did you know, the rate of A black and hispanic community is rising [?] |
|
| [04:11.496] |
Education is probably for slowing it down |
