[Em]
[Bsus4][Em]
The [C]night is on my mind

[Verse 1]
[C]
[Em]
The sun'll still [B]shine
[C]But the night is on my mind

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

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
The sun[Em]'ll still shine
[C]But now [Dm]the nigh[D]t is on
[Em]my mind[B][C]

[Verse 4]
The night is on your [Dm]mind
Ayo the [Em]sun 'll still shine
But now the [C]night is on [Dm]my mind
[Em]As for me I'm

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