At Night

At Night I can't leave my place,

might come face to face with the gunman's hate,

they ask me why, because it's better than to cry,

and to deny that your grandmother really did die,

Can't look at Silky the same,

He doesn't even know I'm in the game, he'd be ashamed.

 

Girl workin' hard every day and night,

She comes in and asks if I'm alright,

No, not really baby,

My life is like a stairway,

Do I go this way or that way or just light another j and

enjoy the day?

 

[Chorus]

At night I think I'm blue,

My girl says it's when I'm the most true,

just lookin' up at the ceiling like God what am I going to do?!

 

God sends his best soldiers to war,

Hoping he touches me with his arms,

what a charm, how alarmed would

yo' mama be if she was listening to me,

I'm just trying to get you to see what I see before you

flee or melee when you realize there is a fee for smoking

some tree,

It's hard to get a degree for people like you and me

Not because we can't handle it,

But we handle it all too well

 

[Chorus]
