'Round Midnight - Miles Davis

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you Tomorrow I'll miss you Remember I'll always be true And then while I'm away I'll write home every day And I'll send all my loving to you I'll pretend that I'm kissing The lips I am missing And hope that my dreams will come true And then while I'm away I'll write home every day And I'll send all my loving to you All my loving I will send to you All my loving, darling I'll be true Close your eyes and I'll kiss you Tomorrow I'll miss you Remember I'll always be true And then while I'm away I'll write home every day And I'll send all my loving to you All my loving I will send to you All my loving, darling I'll be true All my loving, all my loving ooh All my loving I will send to you

A pale and lonely moon lights the sky in the dark before the dawn I sit here in my room, how I sigh for the day that's come and gone Another lonely day passes by and the new day's comin' on At midnight Tears I've shed today will pause, waiting until tomorrow Dreams of what could become close to me, timidly There's a brand-new day in sight At that time 'round about midnight Life's a game of chance, and you're just one of the minor players Look for what you love, the day to come harbours some Let your eyes put out their light At that time 'round about midnight Every day is gonna bring some sadness Every day is gonna bring some gladness So, take what you can of the glad times Don't measure your pleasure in nickels and dimes Look back on today And you'll know when you have been unhappy Fears done chased away just might have let them have their day Let your spirits stop the fight At that time 'round about midnight Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing for your returning Till our love is safe and sound And old midnight comes around I'll think no more about today For in a while, this old day will be yesterday Alone at midnight in my room I sit here in the gloom My dreams take flight 'round 'bout midnight

Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh Heavy foot traffic jam the hallway all day Adolescence working for small pay World so little he could never leave his block His home bullet riddled so he always need his Glock He coast with his eye open, keep his metal smoking Young wasted minds fiending on dimes, coking Forgot kids quick to break rules and known to make fools Out of many, down the streets we more safe than school There's no diploma that can break you from the coma Of a bloody war in the country, the youth hungry On the corner hyenas amongst me Yapping about the stories they be hearing, always swearing Can't even spell the shit that he be wearing Caught up in the silk web of material Superficial stains ya brain tissue, that's the issue The young is lost at their own cost, dreaming Screaming how we never hold positions, that's the meaning Mothers of murder victims share the same grief The elderly shake their head in disbelief And no relief came till I aimed And blast one shot and left my name... the GZA Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh My residence is a city where army veterans smoke rocks On torn down blocks, drug spots set up their shops And cops watch innocent niggas roaming flocks Romanism in tops, papers and knots Churches and liquor stores on every corner plot To get money knots some funny niggas act like They could pop Glocks and those who can't cop Sisters giving up ass a lot, brothers giving up cash a lot Babies struggling to become someone because their parent's not Just another victim of the ghetto, where lost minds settle When the devils uncivil society and die free With double 'W' followed by J-D around the necks and wrists The God is now a dog, the Earth is called a bitch And all my people wish to get rich in this wilderness to push a Lexus Ice on everything from rings and bracelets to the necklaces Children molested within these pest infested buildings Seeds uneducated in these schools, paint on the ceilings Is peeling off, but all I see is lost black babies calling "Please somebody save me, please somebody save me" Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh Just another victim of the... victim of the ghetto Just Another victim, that's how it goes, ooh Just another... just another... victim of the ghetto
