[Verse 1]

Midnight, chillin' at AM PM

Coolin', drinkin' apple juice in Evil's BM

The sound's up loud to attract attention

Armor All-ed tires on a lowered suspension

Nardi to steer with, Alpine deck was glowin'

Bumpin' Big Daddy and the nigga was definitely flowin'

I was ridin' shotgun, Donald and Hen in back

Look through the tint, recognized a jack

Two brothers strolled up, talkin' 'bout "Get out"

Donald D blazed, shot one fool thru his fuckin' mouth

Why would they step when they know we're strapped?

I never cruise L.A. without a gat in my lap

The other fool shot, caught the E in the shoulder blade

I busted through the car door, that's where the nigga laid

Hen jumped out, dropped two nines in his forehead

Evil was bleedin' bad, the car seats were turnin' red

Looked to my left, there were two more carloads

Niggas in hats and hoods in an attack mode

And they hadn't yet begun to fight

E hit the gas, it was one past midnight!


[Interlude 1]

"Listen to my 9 millimeter go bang!"

"Take you on a walk through hell"

"South Central"

Yo, E, drive, drive, drive, man, drive, fuck it

Let's get the fuck outta here, man!


[Verse 2]

We boned down Vernon, made a right on Normandie

Left on Florence, gettin' through the E.T.G.'s

Spun out on Vermont, made a left on Colden

Right on Hoover, "E, where we goin'?"

He didn't even answer that

Checked the rear view, they were still out back

Where were these brothers from?

What made these brothers come?

Bang! Our back window was removed by a shotgun

Now Hen G was shot, Don caught a ricochet

These motherfuckers was ill, they didn't come to play

Bust a right turn, parked, and then we got left

Hid in the the bushes, shot the gas tank to fake death

But would this really keep them psyched?

Three of us bleedin', it was ten past midnight!


[Interlude 2]

"Listen to my 9 millimeter go bang!"

"Midnight, time for a homicide"

"South Central"

Come on, man, y'all bleeding bad, man

You gotta keep up, man, we can't stop here!


[Verse 3]

I really didn't like how this shit was goin' down

Wrong night, wrong time, wrong fuckin' part of town

Ya see, we was deep in the Hoovers' hood

Three niggas bleedin', that shit don't look good!

See over there, red don't go; some places, red's all they know

But not our luck, tonight we was real fucked

Broke down an alley and we instantly had to duck

Fuckin' police on a gang sweep

No time to deal with one time, so we had to creep

Broke through a backyard, ran through a vacant lot

E, Hen, and Don kept up to be some niggas shot

Shit was gettin' crazy, so I had to get busy

Hen was bleedin' worse and Evil was gettin' dizzy

Looked in a parking lot, I needed a snatch bar

Had to hot wire, so I moved on an old car

It was a bucket, but fuck it, it had to do

Started it up and scooped my whole crew

Two blocks later, we saw fuckin' blue lights

The pigs were behind us, it was half past midnight!


[Interlude 3]

"Listen to my 9 millimeter go bang!"

"Take you on a walk through hell"

"South Central"

Y'all just lay down on the floor of this car

Fuck the police, man, I'ma handle this


[Verse 4]

When they pulled us over, shit got worse

I waited 'til they got out, and then I hit 'reverse'

Fucked 'em up, I seen one cop fall

Threw it in gear, "Yo, I'm outty, y'all"

Don't know how, but somehow we got away

Lost the jackers, the cops, dumped the G.T.A. 

Made it back to the hood, fixed the crew up

And even though Evil's car blew up

We made it home, and then I crashed out

Thinkin' 'bout my all-night death bout

Then somethin' woke me up from my dark sleep

The sound of fuckin' police when they're tryin' to creep

Broke through my door with no goddamn warning

Looked at my watch, it was six in the mornin'
