Midnight is Mine (version 2)

Intro

Every light the block don't hold

Verse 1

I walk it till the streetlights bend

Every door a window opens

Chain on my wrist, the block still mine

Midnight's where the money climbs

Four years old with the ice in my cup

Same corner now I run it up

Pre-Chorus

So what you say when I come through your door

What do you owe before you ask for more

Chorus

I don't need no job, I need midnight mine

Every streetlight's gold if I make it mine

I run the block like my name is time

Midnight's mine and it ain't never mine

Verse 2

Bail on Tuesdays, still got rent paid right

Neighbor's kid lookin' for a light to ride

Chain store robber, then the owner's son

Learned the hustle 'fore the whole block done

Pre-Chorus

So what you say when I come through your door

What do you owe before you ask for more

Chorus

I don't need no job, I need midnight mine

Every streetlight's gold if I make it mine

I run the block like my name is time

Midnight's mine and it ain't never mine

Bridge

It started small — a block that held the snow

Now it's citywide, every corner know

Not about power, just about control

Mine in the dark before the whole world's told

My momma worked two jobs when I was nine

I ain't asking for forgiveness, I'm makin' mine

Chorus

I don't need no job, I need midnight mine

Every streetlight's gold if I make it mine

I run the block like my name is time

Midnight's mine and it ain't never mine
