Midnight Love

f/ Daz, Raphael Saadiq



Midnight love, midnight love, midnight love, midnight love, ohhhhh



(Chorus: Raphael Saadiq)



midnight love

troubles plots on thee mind

midnight love

leave your back door open

midnight love

this heaven's ready for me

midnight love

back door little druggie's callin for you



[Snoop]

I'm makin things cappin fast

ain't no need to wait around for what never seems to come along

face lookin stupid broke startin

feelin dumb, I'm young but I'm a grown man

takin thangs into my own hands

I'm tryin to own here

but life a twist ya like a twister

get twisted with this

it seems on but its off

I keep missin this shit

I'm high but I try, to stay focused wide out

lookin dead at the chips

I blink they dip

its hard to hang on but I can't let go

smokin on my last breath

blow out life whats left is death

now I can go on or I can G or make a right

whatever way that I turn its still death after life

it dont discourage me, I ain't got nuthin to lose

but some punks that probably never turn the money to burn

but I learn cuz I see, and I earn cuz I G

but these problems probably havin niggaz prayin to see

at an early age so at an early stage in life

I chose to get my ish tight ya gotta struggle and fight

it cost an arm and a leg just to live on your knees

and I'm tryin to keep my sanity God help me please



(Chorus)



Mischeavius and devious is how my life was

puttin the serve down for cabbage just to keep the niggaz buzzed

some of the money makin muthafuckaz from the other side

was thinkin about a jack move tryin to whoo-ride

gettin jealous cuz my music got this rap game sewn up

them niggaz wanna trip whatever back they get blowed up

blown up or not you can still get shot

you dont never play those muthafuckaz I'll always not

rule number one, pay attention to this shit

dont be fuckin wit my niggaz on the midnight shift

shit shiggy shack, gettin it on, to the break of dawn

now he's known for servin more than an oz. so

he's got a 187 on his muthafuckin chest

a strap in his lap and a bulletproof vest

he's lookin for the music from the night before

trouble 1, he layin low all in gettin that dough



(Chorus)



[Daz]

Now its all about the dollars

Impalas that bounce

havin cars and bitches on a proper amount

caught a million chillin

robbin banks for many muthaz son

life and darkness

we all get it started, cold hearted

all around it my life won't change for the good

as soon as I walk out the door, I'm called by the hood

Daz, would you come and ride for me,

hey yo Daz would you soldier would you would you and die for me

the tradition's got a lot of niggaz killin for dumb shit

the OGs think then brung guns to control shit

every midnight I be loaded, high as a kite

besides with the drama the dog fight street fight

and a lot a mob puttin on mo

problems solved, but revolved whatever with a fo-fo

but sure I did the record blast five times

254 sentence to jail time





Midnight love

I've been walkin the street

midnight love

I put my life on the line

midnight love

Cuz I've just gotta be me

midnight love



(Chorus)
