After Dark

[Verse 1 - Young MC]
Now deep in the heart of the dead of night
And many hours away from any natural light
You find yourself looking for a kind of fun
That's hard to come by in the light of the sun
So in the shadow, down low, laying in the cut
I'm ready to move no if, ands, or buts
And when I get going yo I ain't no joke
Because I leave less trace than cigarette smoke
Now from dusk to dawn, I could come on strong
And if you know what's good for you you would run along
Cos many hearts I break and many lives I ruin
Getting you back for the dirt you being doing
I'm a tragedy, not a fantasy
Because I'm deaing in hard, cold reality
Don't get mad at me for being in your town
Just watch your back when the sun goes down

[Chorus x2]
Watch your back when the sun goes down (x3)
After dark when the man come around

[Verse 2 - Young MC]
Now night time is the right time to attack
And once I get at you, yo I won't turn back
The fact is, when I pack this I be coming
Delivering the different strokes like Mr Drummond
You can summon your saviour, but he's not gonna save you
You should've listened to him trying to change your behaviour
The flavour's foul and you don't know what I got
Cos I could crip a whole neighbourhood with just one shot
I'm a mad man and a bad man and a sad man
Once when I get in you, I'm the worst you ever had man
Not Blahzay, Blahzay but this is Danger, Danger
And you won't get saved by no damn power ranger
I dip in, and I slip in, cos you be tripping
I'm quicker than Hardaway, Kemp or Scotty Pippen
I'm ripping and running, and never make a sound
So watch your back when the sun goes down

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3 - Young MC]
Now believe it or not, I don't want to hurt you
But you should've paid attention to the streetlight curfew
Cos daytime it doesn't matter where you're going
Just get your booty in the house when the lights come on
It's a jungle out there, ain't nothing nice
And if you're thinking you can take me yo, you better think twice
It's a roll of the dice but yo I'm setting a trap
Cos more likely than not you're gonna come out crap
See it's time you stop, all that crime you pop
And somebody out there had a dime to drop
Cos everybody's always talking about a victimless crime
But it depends who's going to be the victimless this time
See I've yet to see somebody get to me
Or even weaken me enough to have me set you free
Cos V.D. like me see we don't mess around
So watch your back when the sun goes down

[Chorus x4]
