Midnight chillin' at A.M P.M.
Coolin' drinkin' apple juice
In Evil's BM
The sound's up loud
To attract attention
rmoraled tires
On a lowered suspension
Nardi to steer with
Alpine deck was glowin'
Bumpinn' Big Daddy
And the nigga was definitely flowin'
I was ridin' shotgun
Donald and Hen in back
Look thru the tint recognized a jack
Two brothers strolled up
Talkin' bout get out
Donald D blazed
Shot one fool thru his fuckin' mouth
Why would they step
When they know we're strapped?
I never cruise L.A.
Without a Gat in my lap
The other fool shot
Caut the E in the shoulder blade
I busted thru the ca door
That's where the nigga laid
Hen jumped out
Dropped two nines in his forehead
Evil was bleedin' bad
The car seats were turnin' red
Looked to my left
There were two more carloads
Niggas in hats and hoods
In an attack mode
And they hadn't yet begun to fight
E hit the gas
It was one past midnight!

We boned down Vernon
Right on Normandie
Left on Florence
Gettin' thru the E.T.G.'s
Spun out on Vermont
Made a left on Colden
Right on Hoover
E where we goin'?
He didn'T even answer that
Checked the reaar view
They were still out back
Where were these brothers from?
What made these brothers come
Bang! our back window
Was removed by a shotgun
Now Hen G was shot
Don caught a ricochet
These motherfuckers was ill
They didn't come to play
Bust a right turn, parked
and then we got left
Hid in the the bushes
Shot the gas tank to fake death
But would this really
Keep them psyched?
Three of us bleedin'
It was ten past midnight!

I really didn't like
How this shit was goin' down
Wrong night, wrong time
Wrong fuckin' part of town
Ya see we was deep
In the Hoover's hood
Three niggas bleedin'
That shit don't look good!
See over there red don't go
Some places red's all they know
But not our luck
Tonight we was real fucked
Borke down an alley
And we instantly had to duck
Fuckin' police on a gang sweep
No time to deal with one time
So we had to creep
Broke thru a back yard
Ran thru a vacant lot
E, Hen and Don kept up
To be some niggas shot
Shit was gettin' craazy
So I had to get busy
Hen was bleedin' worse
And Evil was gettin' dizzy
Looked in a parking lot
I needed a snatch bar
Had to hot wire
So I moved on an old car
It was a bucket, but fuck it, it had to do
Started it up
And scooped my whole crew
Two blocks later
We saw fuckin' blue lights
The pigs were behind us
It was half past midnight!

When they pulled us over
Shit got worse
I waited till they got out
And then I hit reverse
Fucked 'em up, I seen one cop fall
Threw it in gear, yo I'm outty yall
Don't know how
But somehow we got away
Lost the jackers, the cops
Dumped the G.T.A.
Made it back to the hood
Fixed the crew up
And even though Evil's car blew up
We made it home and then I crashed out
Thinkin' bout my all-night death bout
Then somethin' woke me up
From my dark sleep
The sound of fuckin' police
When they're tryin' to creep
Broke thru my door
With no goddamn warning
Looked at my watch
It was six in the mornin'!

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

[Verse 1]
It started out like any other day
but it was any thing but
Something bout the way the moon was shining
Something seemed so different (ooh)
Got in the car
But didn't have no reason
Swear I was driving
But something else was leading me
Lost all track of time (damn)
The next thing you won't believe

[Hook #1]
At 9 o'clock I saw her
(Saw her, saw her)
By 10 I had her number
(Number, number)
11's when I called her
(Called her, called her)
At 12 o'clock it happened I gotta blame

[Chorus]
Midnght
I was caught up
It's like I couldn't help myself if I wanted to
Blame it on
Midnight
If she found out about it
Would it be a good excuse?
Midnight
It's 12 o'clock
Tick, tock, tick
The clothes drop
She's on top
And I dont even wanna stop (noo)
It made me disregaurd
And break my baby's heart
I know I did wrong
But I blame it on midnight

[Verse 2]
I'm still here
I know i'm in trouble but
I'mma finish what i started
My heart is telling me to leave here
But my body's saying stay longer
We going strong
While my cell phone blowing up
I know it's wrong
But something else was leading me
Lost all track of time (damn)
The sex is just to good to leave

[Hook #2]
At 1 o'clock I'm in it
(In it, in it)
2 o'clock still in it
(In it, in it)
And 3 o'clock I'm finished
(Finished, finished)
At 4 o'clock I'm drivng home
I gotta blame

[Chorus]
Midnght
I was caught up
It's like I couldnt help myself if I wanted to
Blame it on
Midnight
If she found out about it
Would it be a good excuse?
Midnight
It's 12 o'clock
Tick, tock, tick
The clothes drop
She's on top
And i dont even wanna stop (noo)
It made me disregaurd
And break my baby's heart
I know I did wrong
But I blame it on midnight

[Bridge]
What have you done?
It's 5 a.m (ooh)
Hooking up with somebody
That you dont even know
How you gonna get yourself outta this one
You gotta girl at home
I can blame it on my car breaking down
Or I can say that I was working late
And didn't know
That you was waiting up
I never showed up
Girl I know it's my fault
Blame it on

[Chorus Repeat til end]
Midnght
I was caught up
It's like I couldnt help myself if I wanted to
Blame it on
Midnight
If she found out about it
Would it be a good excuse?
Midnight
It's 12 o'clock
Tick, tock, tick
The clothes drop
She's on top
And i dont even wanna stop (noo)
It made me disregaurd
And break my baby's heart
I know I did wrong
But I blame it on midnight

Things will never be the same
Still I'm awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know theres only one

Messed it up, but rest assured
No one ever thinks they're cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf

Over the laws of light, over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time, everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes, we are the lotus kids
So better take note of this for the story

The rising moon is on the shine
The blood of scorpios a nine
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe
Say it now, 'cause John and Jane would like to know

Is it safe inside your head?
Songs to serenade the dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees

Over the laws of light, over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time, everyone wishing well we go
Everyone knows anything goes, we are the lotus kids
So better take note of this for the story

Over the laws of light, over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time, everyone wishing well we go
Enter the rolling tide, over the ocean so wide
Let's do it all this time, everyone wishing well we go

Everyone knows anything goes, we are the lotus kids
So better take note of this for the story
Everyone knows anything goes, we are the lotus kids
So better take note of this for the story
Everyone knows anything goes, we are the lotus kids
So better take note of this for the story

Ven! Pick that up, boy!
Pitbull!
Casely!

Midnight
I know where i am
That's right
I know where i'm going
Shut down
Vacant city ghost town
Tensions rising
Kick kick kick the door in
Look look, look around
And affairs affairs of the nation

When the presure came down
Sustain autority

Midnight
I know i can
That's right
I ain't broken
Shut down
Vacant city ghost town
Tensions rising
Kick kick kick the door in
Look look, look around
And affairs of the nation

When the presure came down
Sustain autority

Fast lane, sane, insane this world is running
And I'm walking with a cane
Seek, seek you can be unique
But whatever you do don't let your inside out
But I've got to take a leak

And I know You're alive
And you know I will always try
I could never care less about
What this world has to offer if the price is to die
I'll keep my human spirit alive

Man I'm so weak
Come on over here I'll let you have a peek
Inside my heart cause you're the one I seek
I know I'm slow but wherever I go
I hear your steps echo

And I know You're alive
And I'll give my heart to survive
This world has nothing to offer a human soul
Reaching for the sky
So Father of light
Keep my human spirit alive

Will I try to hide away in the secret space of my heart
Will I try in time
Will I try with my feet on the ground of shadows
But my hands towards the light
Will I try in time

Your eyes
Are always there
Your eyes
Are what I came for

Your eyes
Drive away my fear
Your eyes
I could just stand there and adore

Stop just right there
Everything has to stop to steal time
For whom I want to be near
Yes I do care and I love the love we share

And I know You're alive
I'll give my heart to survive
This world has nothing to offer a human soul
Reaching for the sky
So Father of light
Keep this human spirit alive

Will I try...

Seems there is nothing to remind me of peace down here
So how come that all I feel is joy

Between the lines I get it, all ready when you spoke to me last night,
Don't think I don't know what's goin on here, be sure I didn't come to steal your life.

You leave before midnight, you're standing in the bright lights,
Dont be afraid, don't be afraid to come back to me.
You leave before midnight, you're standing in the back lights,
Don't be afraid, hey, don't be afraid to come back to me, yeah.

And in disguise I'll come to you, darling tonight, you will walk outside your door,
Don't be surprised if I told you, I'm not as strong as you were told.

You leave before midnight, you're standing in the bright lights,
Dont be afraid, don't be afraid to come back to me.
You leave before midnight, you're standing in the bright lights,
Dont be afraid, hey, don't be afraid to come back to me.

Coz no-one's gonna know if you stay or if you go,
If you do or if you don't, at least you won't be long, it won't be long.
No-one's gonna know if you stay or if you go,
If you do or if you don't, at least you won't be long, it won't be long.

[Chorus]

Yeah, woah, woah, yeah, don't be afraid to come back to me, yeah,
Woah, woah, yeah, don't be afraid to come back to me, yeah,
Woah, yeah, yeah, don't be afriad to come back to me.
(Leave before midnight, standing in the back lights),
Oh yeah, don't be afraid to come back to me, yeah.

Maybe it's too late. Sometimes I even hate myself for loving youTrying to be strong then nighttime comes along and I start loving youWanting you. Where is all my selfcontrol I'm burning way down in my soulAnd needing you, and wishing I could be the man, I try toHating me for wanting you to be with youknowing you don't love me like you used toBut it's midnight, Ohh and I miss youIt's getting late and I know that's when I am weakFunny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day lightI ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget youOh but it's midnight yes and I miss youIt's getting late and I know that's when I am weakFunny how things have a way of looking so much brighter in the day lightI ought to go to bed to try and straighten out my head and just forget youOh but it's midnight yes and I miss youIt's midnight and I miss you

No friends, nothing to do
No start, no end
Stuck in the middle
Of all of these games
Running around in an empty room
Bumping into the cold brick walls
Pierce my lips until blood
Starts falling out the side of my head
And I'll sit, and rest
And try to remember where I left off
And do it again

Midnight, I lie awake
No sleep until my dying day, yeah
Midnight, and time to waste
And I'll never move on, whoa whoa

Think deep, take myself to another scene
Anywhere else, but this empty room
Where every breath feels like my last
And I'll never move on

And it feels so strange
Living every night like this
Wasting it away, oh oh oh
And it feels so strange
Wasting it away
And it feels so strange

Think deep, take myself to another scene
Anywhere else, but this empty room
Where every breath feels like my last
And I'll never move on

And I'll never go on, whoa whoa
Whoa whoa, and I'll never go on
Whoa whoa...

Things will never be the same
Still Im awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know theres only one

Messed it up but rest assured
No one ever thinks theyre cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf

[pre chorus:]
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Lets do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

[chorus:]
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story

The rising moon is on the shine
The blood of scorpios a nine
Like the fear thats in the eyes of every doe
Say it now cause john and jane would like to know

Is it safe inside your head
Songs to serenade the dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees

[pre chorus]

[chorus]

[pre chorus]

Enter the rolling tide
Over the ocean so wide
Lets do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

[chorus x3]

[TWIST]

AND IN THE DARK HE SITS ALONE
TO WATCH HIS FINAL HOURS BLEEDING
WHILE UNCONCERNED UPON THE WALL
THE CLOCK IT TICKS AWAY THE TIME

NO NEED FOR WORDS FOR IN THE DARK
ALL WORDS HAVE LONG SINCE LOST THEIR MEANING
STILL WHEN THEY WHISPER IN HIS EAR
HE TRIES TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES

WHAT I SEE IN THE NIGHT
WHAT I FEEL IN YOUR HEART
ALL YOUR DREAMS ALL YOUR LIES
CAN YOU TELL THEM APART

SEE THE HANDS ON THE CLOCK
ARE YOU WATCHING THEM TURN
FOR YOUR CANDLE IS QUITE LOW
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING IT BURN

DO YOU LIE HERE AWAKE
AS THE SHADOWS LOOK ON
SHOULD THEY CRY FOR YOUR SAKE
SHOULD YOU SLEEP IN THEIR ARMS

FOR THE SHADOWS SEE ALL
AND THEY RARELY FORGET
EVERY DREAM THAT YOU'VE HAD
EVERY ACT YOU REGRET
