[Verse 1: Esham]
Twelve in the morning, woke up with the shakes
Serial killa, Mr. Frosted Flakes
My hands were all bloody and I don't know why
I'm thinkin' 'bout my bitch and why she had to die
Some n***as out to get me, she was settin' me up
They pulled out they pistols, started wettin' me up
I seen my life pass before my eyes in a flash
I drew down my weapon, and I started to blast
My bitch caught a slug in the back of the neck
I emptied out the tech, and n***as hit the deck
I ran for the beamer, it was sittin' in front
I left my bitch's body smokin' like a Philly blunt and it was

[Chorus]
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, it all happened
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, they started cappin'

[Verse 2]
I'm bleeding like a motherfucker, grabbin' my chest
My heartbeat racin' like a EMS
I called my partner up on the portable phone
I blew my bitch brains out with the chrome
(I blew my bitch brains out, man)
My n***a said he'd meet me at the Omni hotel (Meet ya at Omni)
Court date was today and he just jumped bail (I just jumped bail)
Police out to get him, he was under arrest
Bitch warrant for my n***a with the mental stress
Met my n***a at the spot and he had nothin to say
Metro airport to East L.A
When we got the city, it was drama again
Seen the n***a who we jacked in '89 for ten ([?] that n***a [?])
And it was
[Chorus]
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, it all happened
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, they started cappin'

[Verse 3]
The n***a started trippin', he was wavin' his gun
Pissed off since '89 cause we murdered his son
(What's up now, n***a? [?])
Stray bullets started flyin', everywhere but in mine
Still bleedin' like a pig and I'm pressed for time
I looked up and my n***a caught a slug in his face
Now I'm madder than a motherfucker tryna embrace
My homie body turned cold, I felt him slippin' away
(Don't go, man) He was just here alive, now he dead today
And the n***a who had shot him, he was shot on the floor
So I went to his body and I shot him some more
He looked me dead in the face and said, "You're going to Hell"
I spit blood in his face as I started to yell

[Chorus]
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, it all happened
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, they started cappin'
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, it all happened
In the midnight hour
In the midnight hour, they started cappin'
[Outro]
They started cappin'
In the midnight, in the midnight hour
