Evening News

[Cee-Lo]

Late in the evening

there is the thieving and the trickin and the trappin

and they ain't actin

We make it happen

We'll get the guns on anyones and get to clappin'

Even for rappin'

Does it surprise ya?

We'll readjust and reconcile and recognize up

-that I'm a writer

Oh yes I write up

Now open wide and let me put the night inside ya

This is music usually confused with major motion picture

No one is stricter about it being status for scripture

No put on your gut is goin', you're wearin' what don't fit ya

You better run little one, cause the rhythm's gonna getcha

And when it hits ya, it usually hits somebody with ya

Make 'em risk a total eclipse of sun to get richer

Baby, a little time and something fine that'll fix ya

With shield love you forgot to remember to miss the - (??)

The nightlife ?the dark side of the city

Gon' be on 24 inches, and be defenseless

The nightlife ?the dark side of my heart

Where no one really knows you, and no one supposed you

The nightlife ?the dark side of my soul

Where if somebody crossed you, kill 'em up off you

The nightlife ?the dark side of the moon

Where the sun is scared to come

(give me some) ha!

(chorus)

Take me where the darkness is still beautiful

OOOoohhh...wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna know, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go, wanna know, wanna go, wanna go

Give me the night!

The night is gonna getcha

ahh it's gonna getcha

The night is gonna getcha

ahhh its gonna getcha

Give me the night!

The night is gonna getcha

ahh it's gonna getcha

The night is gonna getcha

ahhh its gonna getcha

Give me the night!

The night is gonna getcha

ahhh it's gonna getcha

The night is gonna getcha

Hey its gonna getcha

Give me the night!

The night is gonna getcha

ahhh it's gonna getcha

[Chazzie]

I'll be your lady

Farewell the friend

I'll be honest

And I'll pretend

I'll act like I love ya all!!

I'll act like I love ya all!

(give me some now)

Take me where the darkness is still beautiful

[Cee-Lo]

I've been runnin' since rock box

I've cocked locks and locked blocks and rocked rocks

and dropped tops

The obviously odd, five foot six inch guard

In the flesh

I've been the best

I'll get in your chest and in the mess

In your vest and out your back without even getting out the 'llac

I lied about how I really handled that situation about the AK

I'll hit back

If your lead was the only collateral you got I'll get back

Now get flat

Say a prayer cause shorty want this shit back

Sit back, this chit-chat is pitch black

But you can still see what I'm sayin'

And heavy is how I weigh in

Niggaz love singin' sad songs about how bad they want to stay in

Either hold out on basketball playin or make use of some yay' then

Whoowhoo

Lord shooo feel good to me

I promise, I promise

Not to ever, ever leave this night life alone

This me

me too (yup)

This me

and me three

(chorus)
