    The 
    night 
    is on 
    my mind 
    Verse 1


    The sun'll 
    still 
    shine 

    But the 
    night 
    is on 
    my mind 

    Verse 2
    So 
    par
    lay 
    while 
    I drop 
    this 
    rhyme 

    See, 
    Jake 
    be gettin 
    illy 
    when 

    the sun 
    get 
    dark 

    He be 
    coming 
    out for 
    heads 
    but shit 

    don't let 
    me start 

    There's 
    activities 
    a- 

    plenty 
    in the 
    nighttime 

    For 
    the 
    ghetto 
    child 
    it 
    seem 

    to be 
    the right 
    time 

    See, 
    kid
    s 
    be getting 
    stuck 

    with jewels 
    and fly 
    gimmicks 

    Shorty 
    see the 
    action 
    and 

    then start 
    to 
    mimic 

    Running 
    to the 
    corner, 

    the dice 
    game 
    is blazing 

    Looking 
    at 
    the 
    loot, 
    it 
    seems 
    so 
    amazing 

    Put
    s the 
    short 
    down, 

    to be 
    exact 
    one pound 

    He shakes 
    the 
    stones 
    in 
    his hand, 

    then 
    he 
    lets 
    it down 

    Scared 
    money 
    don't 
    make 
    none 

    He threw 
    a 
    trick 
    on 
    the 
    ace 

    now he's 
    out 
    son 

    Hits 
    the 
    local 
    bo
    dega 
    to 

    wolf down 
    a gyro 

    Son 
    is on 
    a midnight 
    run 
    like De 
    Niro 

    Spots 
    a shorty 
    rock 
    standing 
    on his block 

    The 
    fiends 
    be hounding 
    him to 
    pump 

    so he 
    asked 
    it it's not 

    Conver
    sation 
    that 
    he 
    kicked 

    to the 
    shorty 
    was 
    a sly 
    one 

    In
    creased 
    intens
    ity, 

    'cause 
    damn 
    she was 
    a fly 
    one 

    Took 
    her to 
    the 
    crib 

    there she 
    ran 
    her jibs 

    About 
    mind 
    upliftment and 
    being 
    positive 

    He 
    yawned 
    and 
    he 
    sighed 
    'til 
    1:05 

    Then he 
    fi
    nally 
    realized 

    that 
    honey 
    wasn't 
    live 

    At 
    least 
    he didn't 
    plan 
    on building 

    for 
    the evening 

    Threw the 
    Fila 
    on 
    the dome 
    and said, "Come 

    on 
    yo, we 
    leaving" 

    Came 
    out on 
    the 
    scene 
    as 

    he 
    told 
    her to 
    beep 
    him 

    Saw 
    his man 
    Stan 
    with 
    the 
    blunt 

    in his 
    hand 

    (Ah sh- ) You know 
    the transaction 

    Brothers 
    gettin' 
    lost 
    in 

    the weed 
    satisfaction 

    Coming 
    down 
    the block 
    man 
    loud 
    as 

    You 
    would 
    swear 
    Redman 

    was 
    in
    side 
    the truck 

    As 
    the 
    night 
    seemed 
    darker, 

    cops 
    is on 
    a hunt 

    They 
    interrupt 
    your cipher, 

    and 
    crush 
    your blunt 

    See 
    you 
    left 
    your work 
    at home 

    so they 
    pat 
    you down 
    for nothing 

    Why 
    in 
    the 
    hell 
    does 
    10- 4 keep 
    fronting? 

    You 
    push 
    to 
    the 
    park 
    even 

    though 
    it's still dark 

    The kid 
    is nice 
    on 
    the hoop, he 
    said, 

    "I'll 
    spot 
    you troop" 

    The 
    night 
    is on 
    my mind 
    Verse 3

    The sun
    'll 
    still 
    shine 

    But now 
    the 
    night 
    is on 

    my mind 

    Verse 4
    The night 
    is on your 
    mind 

    Ayo the 
    sun
    'll 
    still 
    shine 

    But 
    now 
    the 
    night 
    is on 
    my mind 

    As for 
    me 
    I'm 
    Verse 5
    a nocturnal 
    animal, 

    God 
    concentrates 

    On 
    a 
    young 
    black 
    man 
    who makes 

    the niggas 
    speakers 
    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 
    Jake 
    can't 
    hack 
    it 

    The 
    way 
    the moon 
    dangles 

    in 
    the midnight 
    sky 

    And 
    the 
    stars 
    dance 
    around, 

    ayo, I think 
    it's 
    fly 

    Intensity, 
    most 
    rappers 
    don't 
    see 
    it 

    Spirit 
    wise, 
    musically, 
    you 
    gotta 
    be 
    it 

    Serenity 
    and 
    silence 
    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 
    jibs 
    enough 

    Peace 
    out 
    to 
    the Nation, 

    stay 
    rugged 
    and 
    rough

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
