[Female spoken Sample] (Everybody sees the keys now.) (Nobody saw me count bus fare twice.) (Funny how "overnight" took seven years.) (Oh Lawd, DooMooJay on the beat again) [Breakdown] Yeah Mydnyght Menace (This that moment you earned) [Chorus] Mydnyght Menace with the roll, thumb quick, let it go Blue strips overhead, watch 'em scatter on the floor (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Mydnyght Menace with the roll, thumb quick, let it go Blue strips overhead, watch 'em scatter on the floor (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Verse 1] Used to count bus fare twice, gas light blinking on E Now the driveway full of choices, still the choice ain't easy Pecan seats in the coupe, grey suede in the truck Auntie took the black one, brought it back smelling like lunch Same crew at the table, same jokes, bigger portions One reads every clause, one checks every endorsement I don't need a yes man clapping hard at every sentence Need a friend who'll say, "That chain look dumb," before I spend it First cheque cleared, bought the washer she kept pricing Second cheque cleared, paid the note, caught her smiling Third one stayed put, learned cash can get disrespectful Soon as you start buying every compliment they sell you Blue strips in the billfold, old debit card behind it Kept the little white receipt from the last time it declined Folks call it sudden, I just grin and let 'em tell it Seven years overnight, must be one hell of a minute [Chorus] Mydnyght Menace with the roll, thumb quick, let it go Blue strips overhead, watch 'em scatter on the floor (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Verse 2] Old number hit my phone, "Bro, remember tenth grade?" Funny, memory returned when the magazine came Cousin brought a cousin, brought another to the guest list One swore we met in Buckhead, I was never in his section I know who split the wing box when the rent ate the cheque Who slid me twenty cash and never asked for it back Now the table seats twelve, but the circle still four Extra chairs for the meal, not the code to the door We never had one big fallout, just less left to discuss Some folks fit the old days, that don't mean they fit us The ones who kept it plain when the room got fancy Get the gate code direct, not a caption saying "family" Mama call mid meeting, I pick up, that's the rule She ask, "You eating right?" I say, "Yeah," and chew That's the kind of rich I trust, no cameras involved If the money took a nap, them same people still call [Chorus] Mydnyght Menace with the roll, thumb quick, let it go Blue strips overhead, watch 'em scatter on the floor (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Breakdown] (Mydnyght Menace on the paperwork) (Mydnyght Menace on the paperwork) (Mydnyght Menace on the paperwork) [Verse 3] Mydnyght Menace on the paperwork, not just stitched on the collar Every feature got a fee, every fee got another comma Own the name and the numbers, every contract in order They offered fame with a leash, sent it back to the owner Suite got a grand piano, set my takeout on it Chef sent duck with foam, I asked for lemon pepper Driver in a black truck, still I sit up front I don't talk through a partition with the ones I trust Pinky ring tap the glass, waitress look at the stone She ask if it's real, I say, "Which one?" and check both If the deal need a closer, Mydnyght Menace tighten the language If the cheque short one digit, send it back with the changes I don't dress for the feed, I get fly 'cause I like it Crocodile on the loafer, little reckless, still stylish Thumb a stack for the dancers, every snap land clean Sign another deal before the bartender sees me [Chorus] Mydnyght Menace with the roll, thumb quick, let it go Blue strips overhead, watch 'em scatter on the floor (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Mydnyght Menace with the roll, thumb quick, let it go Blue strips overhead, watch 'em scatter on the floor (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (You just gotta catch the moment, yeah) Watch the whole stack fall (Yeah, yeah, yeah) [Drop] Is S4 in the house? Is Twisted in the house? Is DJ Tripp in the house? Without a doubt "Mydnyght Menace wrote this rap.... kid" MuJe Music "Oh Lawd, DooMooJay murdered the beat again"
