1 Night

(If only for 1 night)

(If only for 1 night)

I wish I could have my loved ones back

'Cause I'd love to have my loved ones back

If only for 1 night

We don't have to feel it like that

'Cause I hate to see the pain comin' back

If only for 1 night

Nobody get killed on the block

No reason to pack the steel on the block

If only for 1 night

We can get to make it to the top

And see my dogs make it out the cell block

If only for 1 night

Maintainin'

There'll be no more complainin'

It's all right, if only for 1 night

Maintainin'

Tryin' to keep it from rainin'

It's all right

I swear, deep down I be thinkin the same things

Over and over they never get better

I miss my ****, rain fallin'

Nine times out of ten it don't miss my ****

Damn, I hope this state of mind'll never leave again

I wanna see my **** Screw get to breathe again

And wanna see Dinky and my **** Donny break free again

On the block, never thinkin' 'bout police

Twenty-four years of mine have been bliss

Dog, don't you get it twisted

'Cause nineteen years of those have been stressed

Never thought that I'd see this time

And there ain't no way I'ma let it get by

Ain't no lie, deep down inside

Just to hold it close would wanna make me cry

No more drama, like no more laws

No more jail, no more collect calls

No more hate from these roach-ass ****

And my dogs on the block'll ball till we fall

Plus Pee-Wee would've never got locked

Plus Greedo would've never got shot

Plus Mellow would've still been here

With a white Kangol about to body rock the pen

Misty, then the rest of the clique like

Full speed then runnin' without a red light

All life will be one of a kind

Go deep in the wind, I promise I got my head right

And our haters it's gon' be like this

I wonder why everything come to be like this

And if only for 1 night I finally get my smile

Lord, I don't wanna leave this

I wish I could have my loved ones back

'Cause I'd love to have my loved ones back

If only for 1 night

We don't have to feel it like that

'Cause I hate to see the pain comin' back

If only for 1 night

Nobody get killed on the block

No reason to pack the steel on the block

If only for 1 night

We can get to make it to the top

And see my dogs make it out the cell block

If only for 1 night

Maintainin'

There'll be no more complainin'

It's all right, if only for 1 night

Maintainin'

Tryin' to keep it from rainin'

It's all right

It'll be nice to have Emo and Jody and LL Back

My **** Best and his big brother E. Roy Love

My people ain't never comin' back

But if only for 1 night

My **** couldn't make a decision he should've made

Make it where the situation turned out another way

And ain't a day go by

I don't wish I didn't have to miss my mama

This ain't livin', my ****, this just drama

If only for tonight when the storm a little calmer

'Cause it seemed like they wanna give a lifetime sentence

To a **** with a pistol and pound of marijuana

Wish it was legal to be in public with ya eyes red

I've seen a lot of BI cases go fed

Got pulled over, no seatbelt on the shoulder

Led to a seventy-year stand and coda

If only for the dead ****

Didn't have to wait to make a safe walk to the store

Just to get his **** and a six-pack, I'm strapped

But there's never been a cakewalk to the store

Fuck around and see the head concussion

If the hood decide you gotta fake walk to the store

They fully fronted to everybody with animosity

Bitches'll take 'em out 'fore they walk to the store

A **** from the southside

A **** from the northside

And a **** from the eastside

Could all get along with each other

Like they knew each other's mothers

No reason to wanna take our own lives

By losin' a son, losin' a daughter

Losin' a child

I'm battered by life, too rude to smile

I liked it better when I used to smile

If only for one more night

I wish I could have my loved ones back

'Cause I'd love to have my loved ones back

If only for 1 night

We don't have to feel it like that

'Cause I hate to see the pain comin' back

If only for 1 night

Nobody get killed on the block

No reason to pack the steel on the block

If only for 1 night

We can get to make it to the top

And see my dogs make it out the cell block

If only for 1 night

Maintainin'

There'll be no more complainin'

It's all right, if only for 1 night

Maintainin'

Tryin' to keep it from rainin'

It's all right
