[Intro: Raphael Saadiq]
Midnight love
Midnight love
Midnight love
Midnight love
[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Midnight love
Troubled Glocks gon' be .9
Midnight love
Leave your back door open
Midnight love
Just have it ready for me
Back door little Joe, he'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 tryna own land
But life'll twist ya like a twister, get twisted with this
It seems on but it's off, I keep missin' this shit
I'm high but I try to stay focused, wide-eyed
Lookin' dead at the chips, I blink, they dip
It's hard to hang on, but I can't let go
Smokin' on my last breath
Blow out life what's left is death
Now I can go wrong or I can G or make a right
Whatever way that I turn, it's still death after life
And if it don't discourage me, I ain't got nothin' to lose
But some thoughts that probably never turn to money to burn
But I learn 'cause I see, and I earn 'cause I G
But, these problems probably have a n***a gray and deceased
At an early age so at an early stage in life
I chose to get my shit tight, you gotta struggle and fight
It cost an arm and a leg just to live on your knees
And I'm tryna keep my sanity, God help me please
[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Midnight love
Troubled Glocks gon' be .9
Midnight love
Leave your back door open
Midnight love
Just have it ready for me
Back door little Joe, he's callin' for you
[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]
Mischievous and devious is how my life was
Puttin' the serve down with cavi just to keep the cluckers buzzed
Some of the money makin' motherfuckers from the other side
Was thinkin' about a jack move, tryna whoo-ride
Gettin' jealous 'cause my n***as got this rap game sold up
Them n***as wanna trip (brrr-brat-dat), they got blowed up
Grown up or not, you can still get shot
You don't never play a motherfucker out for his knot
Rule number one, pay attention to this shit
Don't be fuckin' wit' my n***as on the midnight shift, shit (Shit)
He kept gettin' it on to the break of dawn
Now he's known for servin' more than an ozone
He's got a 1-8-7 on his motherfuckin' 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
Troubled Glocks gon' be .9
Midnight love
Leave your back door open
Midnight love
Just have it ready for me
Back door little Joe, he's callin' for you
[Verse 3: Daz]
Now it's all about the dollars, Impalas that bounce
Havin' cars and bitches, havin' a proper amount
Quarter million chillin', robbin' banks and mini-markets
Sunlight when dark hits, 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 traditions got a lot of n***as killed for dumb shit
The OG's think they run shit, the youngsters control shit
Every midnight I be loaded, high as a kite
Society with the drama when the dogg fight, street fight
Ain't allowed in my book no mo'
Problems get solved when we revolve with ammo and a .4-4
But sure I get the rep and blast five times
254 sentenced 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
'Cause I just gotta be me
Midnight love
[Chorus: Raphael Saadiq]
Midnight love
Troubled Glocks gon' be .9
Midnight love
Leave your back door open
Midnight love
Just have it ready for me
Back door little Joe, he's callin' for you
