Tonight

Whoo!
 The hawk is out!
 Brick out here, you know I'm sayin'?
 Yo, you better bundle up
 We livin' in a cold world, even in the summer time
 And I ain't talking about the Fahrenheit, naw!
 I'm talking how the life ain't fair and the height of the fare
 Keep hiking here and there, from there to here
 Back then, I had a grin from ear to ear
 Now the corn price triple per ear, triple your fear
 Can't afford to get my head gassed up
 Let alone my whip
 I need a loan just to go 'round, trip
 And there is a war going on and nobody is safe
 'Cause the thieves in the night still hitting your safe
 With the cameras on blast, see this look on my face?
 For security, I'm feelin' like my freedom's replaced
 While your cut runneth over, all I want is a taste
 I ain't trying to stay sober 'cause things are so sobering
 God knows how what makes rain and but brings
 Fuck your harebrained schemes and things, man
 Tonight, you are stars shining brighter than before
 Tomorrow, here come trouble knocking at your door
 We living in a cold world, especially in the summer time
 No, I ain't talking about the Celsius, nuh-uh
 I'm talking how the cells keep swellin' with felons
 And said felons that didn't use they melons
 And suffer for what they sellin'
 And the cellphones keep excelling
 They even got Excel, Word, QuickTime
 You can hear a quick rhyme, and
 YouTube Scorsese's whole cutting room floor
 Check the score and the scores more
 Things like this, you couldn't do even one score or one day before
 Not to mention all the pussy galore
 So with the future so bright, you gotta wear shades
 To contrast the shadows, prepare for battle
 That takes place daily in your hearts and minds
 Distractions keep you outflanked
 Don't let your dickhead have your brain outranked
 You picked a gunfight, bring more than your shame
 'Cause ain't nobody shooting blanks
 Tonight, you are stars shining brighter than before
 Tomorrow, here come trouble knocking at your door
 Tonight, you are stars shining brighter than before
 Tomorrow, here come trouble knocking at your door
 We living in a cold world, like The Day After Tomorrow
 The day before yesterday, we could have borrowed time
 And been fine with some peace of mind
 But now the last minutes are spent with such sorrow
 And various theorists claim it's the Age of Aquarius
 Now hear this, this era might be the scariest
 We near this brink of being extinct, and yet still pushing on so precarious
 The mystery god, he probably watching people like reality TV
 That's so, so hilarious
 So much drama and the folks claimin' a moral high-ground
 Get found livin' foul and nefarious
 I'm still tryin' to ride the road less traveled
 Without catching a flat from all of that gravel
 And Nu-Marks the spot to connect the dots
 With kick, snares and high hats
 I lick shots, it's like that
 Tonight, you are stars shining brighter than before
 Tomorrow, here come trouble knocking at your door
 Tonight, you are stars shining brighter than before
 Tomorrow, here come trouble knocking at your door
 Yes y'all
 J-Live
 Uncle Nu
 Once again, you know I'm sayin'?
 NY to wherever you at
 LA to wherever you at
 When we used to have a good time
 When we used to doin' a lil color
 When we used to doin' our city, yo
 When it was good out here
 Eric dame B was here
 Rakim was here
 Lil Kim was here
 Big Kane was here
 Sleek Rick was here
 T.I was here
 If you understood, put your, put your, put your
