Verse 2
(C major) So par (E minor) lay while I drop this rhyme
See, (B major) Jake be gettin (C major) illy when
the sun get dark
He be (D minor) coming out for (E minor) heads but shit
don't let me start
There's (B major) activities a-
(E minor) plenty in the (C major) nighttime
For the (D minor) ghetto child it (E minor) seem
to be the right time
See, (B major) kids be getting (C major) stuck
with jewels and fly gimmicks
(D minor) Shorty see the (E minor) action and
then start to mimic
(B major) Running to the (C major) corner,
the dice game is blazing
Looking at the (E minor) loot, it (E major) seems so amazing
Put (E minor) s the short (C major) down,
to be exact one pound
He shakes the (D minor) stones in his hand,
then he (E minor) lets it down
Scared (C major) money don't make none
He threw a (D minor) trick on the (D major) ace
now he's (E minor) out son
Hits the (B major) local bo (C major) dega to
wolf down a gyro
(E minor) Son is on a midnight run like De (E major) (Bsus4) Niro
Spots a shorty (C major) rock standing on his block
The fiends (D minor) be hounding him to pump
so he (E minor) asked it it's not
Conver (B major) sation that he (C major) kicked
to the shorty was a sly one
In (D minor) creased intens (E minor) ity,
'cause damn she was a fly one
(Bsus4) Took her to the (C major) crib
there she ran her jibs
About (D minor) mind (D major) upliftment and (E minor) being positive
He (B major) yawned and he (C major) sighed 'til 1:05
Then he (D minor) fi nally realized
that (E minor) honey wasn't live
At (B major) least he didn't (C major) plan on building
for the evening
Threw the (D minor) Fila on the dome and said, "Come
(E minor) on yo, we leaving"
Came out on the (B major) scene as
he (C major) told her to beep him
(D minor) Saw his man (D major) Stan with the (E minor) blunt
in his hand (C major)
(Ah sh- ) You know the transaction
(D minor) Brothers gettin' (E minor) lost in
the weed satisfaction
Coming down (C major) the block man loud as
You would (D minor) swear Redman
was (E minor) in side the truck
As the (B major) night seemed (C major) darker,
cops is on a hunt
They (D minor) interrupt your cipher,
and (E minor) crush your blunt
See you (B major) left your work (C major) at home
so they pat you down for nothing
(D minor) Why in the (E minor) hell does 10- 4 keep fronting?
You (B major) push to the (C major) park even
though it's still dark
The kid (D minor) is nice on the hoop, he said,
"I'll (E minor) spot you troop"
The (C major) night is on my mind

Verse 5
a nocturnal animal,
(C major) God concentrates
On a (D minor) young black (E minor) man who makes
the niggas speakers shake
The nighttime is busy,
it's (C major) word to Aunt Kizzy
It's the (D minor) time we get (E minor) down,
yo son, you know the sound
The (B major) flavas on the (C major) top with the
rugged beat to back it
The (D minor) night makes the aura and
the (E minor) Jake can't (E major) hack it
The (E minor) way the moon (C major) dangles
in the midnight sky
And the (D minor) stars dance (E minor) around,
ayo, I think it's fly
Intensity, most (C major) rappers don't see it
Spirit wise, (E minor) musically, you gotta be it
Serenity (B major) and (C major) silence of
the sounds and emotions
In the (D minor) concrete jungle and
the (E minor) sun don't bungle
I (B major) think it's hard to (C major) find
the words on how I feel
I paid (D minor) about a deuce twenty
for the (E minor) Ampex steel
But let me (B major) slow down,
I (E minor) think I ran my (C major) jibs enough
Peace (D minor) out to the Nation,
stay (E minor) rugged and rough
