Child of the night

Refren: It's gonna' get in you, the child of the night... and the hood goes on... I knew I began to do this shit right... get my hustle on... It's gonna' get in you... the child of the night, and the hood goes on... I knew I began to do this shit right... get my hustle on... Look here: Now I'm a man of many talents and a man of my word But on my path to see the light, some times my bitchin' gets blur It's all a part of growin' up and seing life at it's worst, then tryin' to iorn out my wrinkles, puttin' feminine first It seems like the world is out for sinkin' my boat, but we got is my Navigator I'll be stayin' and float And I admit to being caught by many foolish distractions, then I'm forced to pay the price of the results of my actions I'm battleing with myself and every day is a war, curiosity killed the cat, why am I curious dog? Gotta' keep my nose up out of things that ain't none of my biz, just 'cause somethin' looks good don't really mean that it is Get through the agony and anger, the pain is strifed, and take the necessary steps to try and change my life I got some questions for you Lord 'cause my mentality is good, so why is everything that's bad from it feels so good?

It's gonna' get in you... the child of the night, and the hood goes on... I knew I began to do this shit right... get my hustle on... Now I'm an only-child so excuse some of my selfish ways I got spoiled when I was young, spoile myself today But I feed at least a thousand stomacs and how I've done it, is from the ground up a hundred miles and runnin' Dodgin' and duckin' everybody tryin' to hammer me down A self made millionare, baby look at me now Can't tell me nothing, still hungry, at the day I began, 'cause all I ever really needed was a pin in my hand And a... pad in my lap, didn't matter in fact, me and my momma lived in one room it was badder than that Was a young man forced to grow up at the age of 12, tryin' to get it without bitch streets giving me hell But yet I'd give it right back, so how you like that? Continue doin' wrong 'till I was on the right track Tell me about heavy money I might give it a push, but uh.. burn in a hand is worth two in the bush, come on...

No matter how much older we get man, we all still children at heart, we all make mistakes, it's all good Now I tried plenty of times to get rid of my bad habbits, livin' life on the cuttin' edge, takin' a stab at it And learnin' from my mistakes, try not to make 'em twice, just admittin' when I'm wrong, tryin' hard to make it right And baby nobody's perfect in this world of ours, it's plenty people gettin' stitches in this world of scars But all the time pray to God and he can heal your woonds, try to love and love again until they seal your tomb 'Cause life is short if you don't notice it will pass you by, that's why my head is in the clouds tryin' to pass the sky Never blinkin' for a minute, keep my eyes on my fo's, they wanna' catch me in the open bring my life to a close Meanwhile that's why I'm bringin' so much life to my shows, I've seen smiles, I'm makin' changes, turnin' glitter to glow Don't let these devils play you down, or belittle your soul, just be happy with yourself and it's so simple to grow Refren: It's gonna' get in you, the child of the night... and the hood goes on... I knew I began to do this shit right... get my hustle on... It's gonna' get in you... the child of the night, and the hood goes on... I knew I began to do this shit right... get my hustle on...
