Ludacris, Nate Dogg - Child Of The Night(2004)

[00:06.10] It's gonna get in you, child of the night
[00:09.31] And the hood rolls on
[00:12.44] How do I begin to do this shit right?
[00:15.70] And get my hustle on
[00:19.94] It's gonna get in you, child of the night
[00:21.82] And the hood rolls on
[00:27.17] How do I begin to do this shit right?
[00:29.31] And get my hustle on
[00:30.53] Look here
[00:31.42] Now I'm a man of many talents and a man of my word
[00:33.33] But on my path to see the light sometimes my vision gets blurred
[00:36.11] It's all a part of growing up and seeing life at its worst
[00:38.84] And trying to iron out my wrinkles, putting family first
[00:41.68] It seems like the whole world is out for sinking my boat
[00:44.80] But with God as my navigator I'll be staying afloat
[00:47.98] And I admit to being caught by many foolish distractions
[00:50.98] Then I'm forced to pay the price as a result of my actions
[00:53.85] I'm battling with myself, and every day is a war
[00:57.14] Curiosity killed the cat, why am I curious George?
[01:00.19] Gotta keep my nose up out of things that ain't none of my biz
[01:03.34] And just 'cause something looks good, don't really mean that it is
[01:06.61] Get through the agony and anger, the pain and strife
[01:09.99] And take the necessary steps to try to change my life
[01:11.96] I've got some questions for you Lord, 'cause my mentality's hood
[01:15.02] So why's that everything that's bad for me feels so good?
[01:18.03] It's gonna get in you, child of the night
[01:21.94] And the hood rolls on
[01:24.88] How do I begin to do this shit right?
[01:28.54] And get my hustle on
[01:32.08] It's gonna get in you, child of the night
[01:34.24] And the hood rolls on
[01:37.04] How do I begin to do this shit right?
[01:40.39] And get my hustle on
[01:42.99] Now I'm an only child, so excuse some of my selfish ways
[01:45.35] I got spoiled when I was young, spoil myself today
[01:47.94] But I feed at least a thousand stomachs and how I've done it is
[01:51.11] From the ground up a hundred miles and running, dodging and ducking
[01:55.43] Everybody trying to hammer me down
[01:57.66] A self made millionaire, baby look at me now
[02:00.85] Can't tell me I'm not as hungry as the day I began
[02:03.15] 'Cause all I ever really needed was a pen in my hand
[02:06.80] And the pad in my lap didn't matter in fact
[02:09.46] Me and my mom lived in one room, what's badder than that?
[02:12.50] Was a young man forced to grow up at the age of twelve
[02:15.59] Trying to get in where I fit, streets giving me hell
[02:18.66] But yet I give it right back, so how you like that?
[02:21.78] Continued doing wrong till I was on the right track
[02:24.98] Tell me about heavy money, I might give it a push
[02:27.52] But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
[02:30.72] It's gonna get in you, child of the night
[02:34.57] And the hood rolls on
[02:40.46] How do I begin to do this shit right?
[02:41.74] And get my hustle on
[02:43.66] It's gonna get in you, child of the night
[02:47.51] And the hood rolls on
[02:52.46] How do I begin to do this shit right?
[02:53.78] And get my hustle on
[02:55.56] No matter how much older we get
[02:57.45] Man, we are all still children at heart
[02:59.03] We all make mistakes, it's all good
[03:00.44] Now, I've tried plenty of times to get rid of my bad habits
[03:03.40] Living life on the cutting edge, taking a stab at it
[03:05.98] And learning from my mistakes, try not to make them twice
[03:09.94] Just admit it when I'm wrong, and tryin' hard to make it right
[03:12.89] And baby, nobody's perfect in this world of ours
[03:15.83] There's plenty of people getting stitches in this world of scars
[03:18.48] But over time I pray to God that he can heal your wounds
[03:21.91] Try and love and love again until they seal your tomb
[03:24.96] Life is short if you don't notice it'll pass you by
[03:28.05] That's why my head is in the clouds trying to pass the sky
[03:30.86] I'm never blinking for a minute, keep my eyes on my foes
[03:34.22] They wanna catch me in the open, bring my life to a close
[03:36.95] Meanwhile that's why I'm bringing so much life to my shows
[03:40.23] I've seen smiles, I'm making changes, turning glitter to gold
[03:43.12] Don't let these devils play you down, or belittle your souls
[03:46.24] Just be happy with yourself and it's so simple to grow
[03:48.80] Come on
[03:51.00] It's gonna get in you, child of the night
[03:53.01] And the hood rolls on
[03:55.92] How do I begin to do this shit right?
[03:58.93] And get my hustle on
[04:02.59] ...
