[Verse 1 - BigNanaT]
2 AM and I can't lay me to sleep, my eyes weep
And I'm sittin' on the dark ground of the street
With a knife in one hand and a Philly in the other,
Scraping signs in a tree, cuz my soul is bothered.
I'm just tired of everything and drunk in despair,
The wind blows, cold chills pass in the open air.
Heavy smoke in my hair fills my heavy brain,
I would cut my veins, cuz my life is already insane
But I won't, I know this is what you all await -
So I keep on rydin', from the cradle to the grave.
It's something strange, something that dwells within,
That forbids to ease the agony under my ruined skin,
This small and caress turning me to ash,
Rest 'til a painful breath followed by the last eyelash.
What will exist is the reflection of the moonlight
In my deep brown eyes, shining through the dark night.
[Chorus]:
(Fresh Sly)
Two after midnight and I try'ta get by,
But these thoughts won't stop swirlin' thru my mind.
Get me outta here, outta fear, out of shadow lines
Stealing second after second of my stillstanding time
(BigNanaT)
And I try to escape, can't get out, ease the pain,
Can't go on, break these chains sharper than a razorblade
But all this won't stop gnawin' on my mind -
So I just try'ta get by at two after midnight
[Verse 2 - Fresh Sly]
Woke up in the AM cuz I'm thinkin' too deep,
Can't sleep, I gotta stop smokin' on this mad weed.
I'm an insomniac spendin' the nights lookin' at the stars,
But when they can't be seen, I'm countin' on my scars
Left by my destiny, my love and my friends,
I depend on the plans of weather reports by the rainy man.
After I give my dick a jack off, I lay and play
Old funky records I dismay,
My own fuckin' self askin' for gratitude,
Reverse my braincells and shrivel to change my own attitude.
I wanna feel so hype, and reach the delight
On this unique ordinary night, so I'm lookin' for the pipe:
I inhale 'til I'm off to my bed, then I start to kiss myself
Enjoyin' my fresh Wrigley Spearmint breath.
I need mo' words to express all my feelings
Thought it's morning but the clock shows "2 AM and 5 minutes"
[Chorus]:
(BigNanaT)
Two after midnight and I try'ta get by,
But these thoughts won't stop swirlin' thru my mind.
Get me outta here, outta fear, out of shadow lines
Stealing second after second of my stillstanding time
(Fresh Sly)
And I try to escape, can't get out, ease the pain,
Can't go on, break these chains sharper than a razorblade
But all this won't stop gnawin' on my mind -
So I just try'ta get by at two after midnight
*Chorus repeat 'til fade*
*the Sunrise interlude*:
[Fresh Sly]
I opened my eyes due to sunrise,
Another day in my life, woke up at 5...
Headed to the window on the side of the Ave -
The sun smiled at me, so I smiled right back.
Raised my hands, felt the summer breeze in the air,
Sun rays hit my eyes, but I don't care,
Said it's gonna be a good day, no clouds in the sky,
Birdies flyin' all around my window, hoverin' by,
People walkin' on the alley, moanin' cuz it's still early,
The first bus stopped at its first station, doors openin'.
Peace and quiet all around my block,
The sun starin' from above (sayin' it'll be hot)
I keep starin' and I can't stop cuz it's magic -
The yellow colored-tone of its majesty - Sun.
Yeah, I feel stronger, with every moment that's passin' by,
And I'll love the sweet summer til the day when I'll die.
Sunrise and an early hot weather, I want it to last forever,
Forever...
Last forever... (yeah)
