In the middle of the night
A vision brings me light
Time is on my side
All the way
In the middle of the night
A vision's shining bright
Should I go or should I stay
Show me the right way

Positive and negative
Is what I'm facin'
I'm out of breath like
I just finished racin'
Then a light comes through
To let me know
Which path to take and which way to go
I'm knowin'
Flowin'
Throwin'
Showin' goin' crazy
Once again
Yo! You can't faze me
I'm going alpha
No omega
Right now
Not later against evil behavior
Trip down under
Is what I provide 'em
Sanity's gone
Mind asylum
Then the voice comes back but brutal
Take good and evil and make it neutral
Taken out comp
Evil lies and walk beats
Taking out punks
But still to say the least
The job is done
And still I have the strength
For a night in a lyrical wavelength

In the middle of the night
A vision brings me light
Time is on my side
All the way
In the middle of the night
A vision's shining bright
Should I go or should I stay
Show me the right way

Sweat pours down as I toss and turn
While the dreams of reality
Starts to burn
I see the vision of a prophet dress in black
When it spoke
The voice brought me back
Woke up
And my hands are shaking
A rude awakening
But still I'm waiting
For the picture to be real
Or just a joke
Then boom!
My rooms filled with smoke
Surprise
The shadows came again
Then the figure said "you have sinned"
As the message clicks
I'm not a "geto boy"
But minds play tricks
A scenario
That carries you
Below to the depth of hell
That I've been through
In the middle of the night
You'll find your strength
Choose a path and a lyrical wavelength

In the middle of the night
A vision brings me light
Time is on my side
All the way
In the middle of the night
A vision's shining bright
Should I go or should I stay
Show me the right way
