  • 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
