Esham - Midnight Hour Lyrics

12 in da morning woke up with tha shakes
Cereal killa mista Frosted Flakes
My hands were all bloody and I don't know why
I'm thinkin' 'bout my bitch and why she had to die

Some niggas outa get me, she was settin' me up
They pulled out they pistols, started wettin' me up
I see my life pass before my eyes in a flash
I drew out my weapon and I started to blast

My bitch caught a slug in tha back of tha neck
I emptied out tha clip them niggas hit tha deck
I ran for tha Beamer is was sittin' in front
I left my bitch body smokin' like a Philly blunt

And it was in da midnight hour
In da midnight hour it all happened
In da midnight hour
In da midnight hour they start cappin'

I'm bleedin' like a muthafucka grabbin' my chest
My heartbeat racin' like a EMS
I called my parter up ontha portible phone
I blew my bitch brains out wit' tha chrome

My nigga said he'd meet me at tha Omni hotel
Court date was today and he just jumped bail
Police outa get him, he was under arrest
Bench warrant for my nigga wit tha mental stress

Met my nigga at tha spot and he had nothin' to say
Metro airport to East L.A.
When we got to tha city it was drama again
Seen a nigga who we jacked in 89 for 10

And it was in da midnight hour
In da midnight hour it all happened
In da midnight hour
In da midnight hour they start cappin'

Tha nigga started trippin', he was wavin' his gun
Pissed off since 89, 'cuz we murdered his son
Stray bullets started flyin' every way but in mine
Still bleedin' like pig and I'm pressed for time

I looked up and my nigga caught a slug in his face
Now I'm mad then a muthafucka tryin' to embrace
My homie body turned cold, I felt him slippin' away
He was just here alive now he's dead today

And tha nigga who had shot him, he was shot on tha floor
So I went to his body and I shot him some more
He looked me dead in tha face and said, "You goin' to hell"
I spit blood in his face as I started to tell

In da midnight hour
In da midnight hour it all happened
In da midnight hour
In da midnight hour they start cappin'

In da midnight hour
In da midnight hour it all happened
In da midnight hour
In da midnight hour they start cappin'

They start cappin'
In da midnight, in da midnight hour
