Raphael Saadiq - Midnight Love lyrics
[Intro: Raphael Saadiq] Midnight love Midnight love Midnight love Midnight love [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq] Midnight love Troubles plots on thee mind Midnight love Leave your back door open Midnight love Just have it ready for me Back door little druggie's callin' for you [Verse 1: Snoop Dogg] I'm makin' things happen 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 land But life a twist ya like a twister, get twisted with this It seems on but its off, I keep missin' this sh** I'm high but I try, to stay focused wide eyed 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 d**h Now I can go wrong or I can G or make a right Whatever way that I turn, its still d**h after life And if it don't 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' n***as prayin' to see At an early age so at an early stage in life I chose to get my sh** 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: Raphael Saadiq] Midnight love Troubles plots on thee mind Midnight love Leave your back door open Midnight love Just have it ready for me Back door little druggie's callin' for you [Verse 2: Snoop Dogg] Mischievous and devious is how my life was Puttin' the serve down for cabbage, just to keep the cluckers buzzed Some of the money makin' muthaf**az from the other side Was thinkin' about a jack move, tryin' to whoo-ride Gettin' jealous cuz my n***as got this rap game sold up Them n***as wanna trip, (brrr-brat-dat) they got blown up Blown up or not you can still get shot You don't never play a muthaf**a out for his knot Rule number one, pay attention to this sh** Don't be f**in' wit my n***as on the midnight shift, sh** (sh**) He kept, 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 muthaf**in' chest A strap in his lap and a bulletproof vest He's lookin' for them n***as from the night before 12:01 he layin' low, all in a n***a back do' [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq] Midnight love Troubles plots on thee mind Midnight love Leave your back door open Midnight love Just have it ready for me Back door little druggie's callin for you [Verse 3: Daz] Now its all about the dollars, Impalas that bounce Havin' cars and b**hes, havin' a proper amount Quarter million chillin' Robbin banks and many mo' Some life and darkness We all get it started, coldhearted Get around, my life won't change for the good It seems soon I walk out the door, I'm called by the hood Daz, would you come and ride for me? Ayo Daz, you da soldier would you die for me? The hood tradition's got a lot of n***as k**ed for dumb sh** The OG's think they run sh**, the youngsters control sh** Every midnight I be loaded, high as a kite Be siding with the drama when the dogg fight, street fight And a lot a mob puttin' on mo Problems get solved, but revolved with ammo and a fo-fo But sure I did the record blast five times 254 sentence to jail time [Bridge: Raphael Saadiq] 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 Midnight love Troubles plots on thee mind Midnight love Leave your back door open Midnight love Just have it ready for me Back door little druggie's callin' for you
