The night is on my mindThe sun'll still shineBut the night is on my mindSo parlay while I drop this rhymeSee, Jake be gettin illy when the sun get darkHe be coming out for heads but shit don't let me startThere's activities a-plenty in the nighttimeFor the ghetto child it seem to be the right timeSee, kids be getting stuck with jewels and fly gimmicksShorty see the action and then start to mimicRunning to the corner, the dice game is blazingLooking at the loot, it seems so amazingPuts the short down, to be exact one poundHe shakes the stones in his hand, then he lets it downScared money don't make noneHe threw a trick on the ace now he's out sonHits the local bodega to wolf down a gyroSon is on a midnight run like De NiroSpots a shorty rock standing on his blockThe fiends be hounding him to pump so he asked it it's notConversation that he kicked to the shorty was a sly oneIncreased intensity, cause damn she was a fly oneTook her to the crib there she ran her jibsAbout mind upliftment and being positiveHe yawned and he sighed til 1:05Then he finally realized that honey wasn't liveAt least he didn't plan on building for the eveningThrew the Fila on the dome and said 'Come on yo, we leaving'Came out on the scene as he told her to beep himSaw his man Stan with the blunt in his hand(Ah sh...) You know the transactionBrothers gettin lost in the weed satisfactionComing down the block man loud as (fuck)You would swear Redman was inside the truckAs the night seemed darker, cops is on a huntThey interrupt your cipher, and crush your bluntSee you left your work at home so they pat you down for nothingWhy in the hell does 10-4 keep frontingYou push to the park even though it's still darkThe kid is nice on the hoop, he said 'I'll spot you troop'The night is on my mindThe sun'll still shineBut now the night is on my mindThe night is on your mindAyo the sun'll still shineBut now the night is on my mindAs for me I'm a nocturnal animal, God concentratesOn a young black man who makes the niggas speakers shakeThe nighttime is busy, it's word to Aunt KizzyIt's 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 Jake can't hack itThe way the moon dangles in the midnight skyAnd the stars dance around, a-yo I think it's flyIntensity, most rappers don't see itSpirit wise, musically, you gotta be itSerenity and silence of the sounds and emotionsIn the concrete jungle and the sun don't bungleI think it's 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 jibs enoughPeace out to the Nation, stay rugged and roughThe night is on my mindThe sun'll still shineThe night is on my mindThe night is on my mindThe sun'll still shineBut now the night is on my mind
