Midnight by WIN_BX Lyrics
[Verse 1: Win]
Is this picture perfect if we have different views?
Second class on my pass, (pass)
And I ain’t got shit to lose
Tell the truth, (tell the truth)
Tell me hows it better?, (better, better)
We ain’t swinging from trees but they’ll let it fly in yo melon, (melon)
Fuck the circumstance, what about the consequence?
Do I embody human form?
Where the fuck is your common sense?
This reality ain’t forced, (forced)
It’s more of a second nature, (nature)
The difference in the game between the bosses and the players
You better say yo prayers, (yuh prayers)
If you ain’t stacking them coins
They’ll snatch yo princess and not a castle is where she goin
This is sick times, (times)
For this I’m holding on to my purpose
Keep yah from getting jaded
Know that every breath you take worth it
I die for mines, (die fuh mines)
Said I die for mines like I’m Jesus
This is more than lines, (more than lines)
Got em mortified in my meaning
I ain’t second class, (second class)
I got better form and I’m undefeated
If you thinking that I’m stoppin then nigga you must be dreamin
[Chorus: Jennifair and Win]
(Ahhhh)
A penny spent, a penny earned, a penny gained
But whats my penny worth, (worth)
If I still live in chains, (ahhh)
Stay strong, fighting the good fight
Men in blue want me dead I’m scared of them read lights
Don’t stop me, (me, me, me)
Try not to fold under pressure
Thats not me, (me, me, me)
I gotta hold it together
Tryin to live life but fallen victim to fright
Cause I’m black and its a minute after midnight
[Verse 2: Win]
Picture perfect, (perfect)
Please tell me what that mean
I’m still lookin for the meaning
This life is so obscene
They coming after you, (after you)
And they coming after me
See thats what I been told and the information was free
So I move on with that on mind, (mind)
You see the pressure?, (pressure)
I ain’t a man, I’m just your targeting practice
I see no effort, (no effort)
Think that metal make you big in this land?
You just a peasant, tried to beat me down
Bloody and broken to learn your lesson
What they call that?
See my approach is not to be lightly taken
Never been soft spoken, never been one for fakin
This hypocrisy, (hypocrisy)
Trying to build my mind and my health
Consistently stopping me, (stoppin me)
From trying to gain knowledge of self
See how they clockin me, (clockin me)
Want me in bracelets friskin and stoppin me, (stoppin me)
Neva found nothin and neva got no apology, (apology)
Not my fault nigga you fit the description don’t act improperly
Is this world I’m livin in, (livin in)
Not for me?, (not for me)
[Chorus: Jennifair and Win]
(Ahhhh)
A penny spent, a penny earned, a penny gained
But whats my penny worth, (worth)
If I still live in chains, (ahhh)
Stay strong, fighting the good fight
Men in blue want me dead I’m scared of them read lights
Don’t stop me, (me, me, me)
Try not to fold under pressure
Thats not me, (me, me, me)
I gotta hold it together
Tryin to live life but fallen victim to fright
Cause I’m black and its a minute after midnight
[Verse 3: Win]
Me dying for this is somethin I’m living for
Like getting that lion crest
Talkin Judah not griffindor
I see how they switch it up
Don’t ask me to play the fifth
I owe my people way more
Ain’t no way I’m playin the bitch
Things change like seasons
Even if yah weathered the storm, (storm)
Tryin to live with a purpose
When death becomin the norm
No not a broken record
Jus simply up on my spin, (my spin)
Needle scratchin the surface
The depth deeper in sin, this is layman
Nah I ain't playing this shits disgraceful
Only want equality but life experience made me shameful
Born two steps behind can you see me being disabled
Walking throughout my life defined by invisible labels
I’m crying everyday mah momma tell me pray the rosary
Prayin to these crackas
While the noose they holdin chokin me
Submission got me thinkin that
Life ain’t what its supposed to be
If I fight back
Then heaven neva washin ova me, (ova me)
Yes we hoodwinked
No we ain’t loss grace
Yes they lyin they better
No they can’t force my fate
Yes I’m one of the best and I know that they can’t relate
Shoot me down in my sleep
I’m Hampton jus not awake
I understand my ignorance
I understand my faults
I’m tryin to do better even though its seeming farce
If only you can see whats on the corners of my mind
Ill leave it on the page for when its
Revolution’s time!
