Q-tip:The night is my mindThe sunll still shineBut the night is on my mindSo parlay while I drop this rhymeSee, jake be gettin illy when the sun get darkThey be comin out the heads, but shit dont let me startTheir activities are plenty in nighttime(nighttime)For the ghetto child, it seems to be the right timeSee, kids be gettin stuck with jewels and fly gimmicksShorty see the action and then start to mimicRunnin to the corner, the dice game is blazinLookin at the loot, it seems so amazinPuts it short down, to be exact would boundHe shakes the stones in his hand, then he lets it down(uh!)Scam money dont make noneHe threw a trip on the ace, now hes out sonHits the local bodega to woof down a heroSon is on a midnight run like de niroSpots the shorty rock standin on his blockThe thieves be handlin in the pumps,so he asked it its notConversation that he kicked to the shorty was a sly oneIncreased intensity, his dance sure was a fly oneTook her to the crib there she ran her gibsAbout mind upliftment and bein positiveHe yawned and he sighed til 1:05Then he finally realized that hunny wasnt liveAt least he didnt plan on buildin for the eveninThrew the fila on the dome and said come on yo, we leavinCame out on the scene as he told her to beep himSaw his man sam with the blunt in his hand(aww shhh...!!!)you know the transactionBrothas gettin lost in the weed satisfactionComin down the block man loud as (*****)You would swear redman was inside the trunkAs the night seemed darker, cops is on a huntThey interrupt ya cipher, and crush ya bluntSee you left your work at home, so they pat you down for nuthinWhy in the hell does 10-4 keep frontin?You push to the park, even though its still darkThe kid is nice on the hoop, he said Ill spot ya troopThe night is on my mindThe sunll still shineBut now the night is on my mind, the night is on the mindThe night is on your mindA yo, the sunll still shineBut now the night is on the mindAs for me...Im a nocturnal animal, God concentratesOn a young black man, who makes the niggaz speak a shakeThe nighttime is busy, its word to aunt kizzyIts the time we get down, yo son, you know the soundThe flavas on the top with the rugged beat to back itThe night makes the aura and the j cant hack itThe way the moon dangles in the midnight skyAnd the stars dance around, a yo, I think its flyIntensity, most rappers dont see itSpirit wise, musically, you gotta be itSerenity and sirens of the sounds and emotionsIn the concrete jungle and the sun dont bungleI think its hard to find the words on how I feelI paid about a deuce twenty for the ampex steelBut let me slow down, I think I ran my gibs enoughPeace out to the nation, stay rugged and roughThe night is on my mind, the sunll still shineThe night is on my mind, the night is on my mindThe night is on my mind, yeah, the sunll still shineBut now, uh huh, the night is on my mindThe night is on your mind, you know the sunll still shineBut now the night is on the mind, yeah, the night is on my mindThe night is on the mind, a yo, the sunll still shineBut now the night is on the mind, yeah, the night is on the mindThe night is on the mind, a yo, the sunll still shine
