Late Night
2Pac DJ Quik & Outlawz Lyrics

Hey 'Pac, it's yo' boy
Greetings Tupac, it's me, your friend.

Hey man so far I've been listenin' to your album
Hey man, I've been listening to your album up to this point.

And I ain't heard nothin' you could kick back and smoke a beadie to
I haven't heard anything that's relaxing and suitable for smoking a Beedi (Indian cigarette) to.

You know?
Do you understand?

Yeah like that
Yeah, exactly like that.

Some of that mellow shit
Some of that laid-back and soothing music.

Some of that shit that make bitches drink
Some of that music that makes women want to have a drink.

Make niggas think
Make men reflect and ponder.

And help you check a fat-ass bank
And assist you in checking a significant amount of money in the bank.

So why don't you kick some of that shit, nigga only you know how
So why don't you deliver some of that music, because only you can create it in your unique style.

Ha feel me?
Do you understand what I'm saying?

I'm barely standin, and plus my secondhand say it's midnight
I'm exhausted and my friend who's smoking with me suggests it's midnight.

Some Alize and Cristal guaranteed to get right
Drinking Alize and Cristal will surely get us in the right mood.

Like misdemeanors is a small thang
Like minor crimes are not a big deal.

With DJ Quik in this bitch, I let my balls hang
With DJ Quik around, I confidently assert myself.

Runnin' through the street lights, 'cause we like, yo nigga
We are running through the streets under the lights because we enjoy it, my friend.

Get your mobb on show 'em what a G like
Show them what a true gangster is like, impress them with your presence.

Around the corner it's like Vegas, or better yet like Reno
Just around the corner, it feels like Las Vegas, or even better, like Reno.

Niggas poppin, welcome to our casino, 'cause you and me know
People are shooting, welcome to our dangerous environment, because you and I understand it.

Hundred percent like a c-note
Authentic and genuine, like a one hundred dollar bill.

Lookin' for a bitch that's half-black and Filipino
Searching for a woman who is of mixed African American and Filipino heritage.

And when I meet her I'ma offer her some indo
And when I meet her, I'll offer her some marijuana.

Tongue-kissing on the window of a pearl white limo
Passionately kissing against the window of a luxurious pearl white limousine.

Don't wanna be your man, I'm your nigga
I don't want to be your romantic partner, I want to be your close friend.

Touch me here, I'll get bigger
If you touch me in a certain way, I'll become more aroused.

While I'm diggin' I'll get deep into your liver
While I'm having sexual intercourse, I'll go deep inside you, metaphorically referring to the liver.

I'm game type
I'm the type who is always ready for a challenge.

Love fuckin' bitches in the same night
I enjoy having sexual encounters with multiple women in a single night.

My words are aphrodisiacs if you say 'em right
The way I speak can be seductive and arouse sexual desire if expressed correctly.

The club be poppin' so I'm stoppin' at the Fat Burger
The club is lively and crowded, so I'm making a stop at Fat Burger (fast food restaurant).

Look through the paper it's another black crack murder
Browse through the newspaper and you'll find news about yet another murder related to the black market of drugs.

The city's full of surprises, you can live or you can die
The city is full of unpredictable events, where one can either survive or meet their demise.

You can fuck on the first night, or try, in the late night
You can engage in sexual activity on the first night of meeting someone, or at least attempt to, during the late hours of the night.

"Last night last night changed it all"
The events of last night were transformative and impactful.

In the late night!
During the late hours of the night!

"I don't give a fuck, where you gon' be"
I don't care where you will be.

Around my way we lamp, many styles get cramped
In my neighborhood, we relax while many different styles of music are overcrowded.

I clock rocks in the rain 'til my socks is damp
I sell drugs even when it's raining to the point where my socks get wet.

Ain't nothin' like bein' a thug when I can just
There's nothing quite like embracing the lifestyle of a criminal when I have the opportunity.

Sit on the Row of Death straight knowin' that I'm blessed
I can confidently sit on Death Row (reference to the famous record label) knowing that I am fortunate.

Hussein Fatal, flawless fatality
My stage name is Hussein Fatal, and I bring about fatal consequences without any faults.

Overdosin' on crime, three steps from reality
Engaging in excessive criminal activities, I am just a few steps away from facing the harsh consequences of reality.

Get up to get down, represent your town, last night
Rise up and party, show pride in your hometown, like we did last night.

Was poppin' like like cocked Glocks with hollow-tip rounds
The atmosphere and excitement were intense, similar to the sound of loaded handguns with lethal ammunition.

From booty calls to bail sheets, it ain't no tellin'
From casual sexual encounters to legal troubles, there's no telling what may happen.

If I wake up in the county in my jail sheets
If I find myself waking up in jail, wrapped in the thin sheets they provide.

My intuitions and ambitions up in the late night
My instincts and aspirations are heightened during the late hours of the night.

Probably involves me comin' up with just to see another day
Most likely, my plans involve finding ways to survive and continue living for another day.

Might be me who bites the bullet
I might be the one who ends up getting killed.

In these streets where a man journey
In these dangerous neighborhoods where a man travels.

With crooked cops and a society who tryin' to burn me
Dealing with corrupt police officers and a society that is attempting to harm me.

I'm like a pit in a cage, spittin' my shells in a gauge
I'm like a fierce dog kept in a confined space, releasing my gun shells from a firearm.

Deadly as AIDS, niggas gettin' crossed like a maze
As dangerous as the HIV virus, causing chaos and confusion among people like a maze.

Now picture me livin' my life like a king, maybe one day
Imagine me living a life of luxury and power, maybe one day.

Until then I'm livin' Monday through Sunday
Until that day comes, I'm living my life every day of the week.

Bringin' the Gunplay for all these beefs and battles
Engaging in violent confrontations and conflicts, ready to use firearms.

When we collide, I'm a ride on that hide like cattle
When we clash, I will relentlessly attack and overpower my opponent like herding cattle.

Cowards best to skedaddle in the late night
Cowards are advised to flee during the late hours of the night.

Money and multiple gunshots are shown, large amps are blown
We display wealth and the sound of numerous gunshots, causing powerful speakers to vibrate.

Niggas in low-lows, pursuin' mo' hoes, then go home
Men driving low-rider cars, seeking more women for sexual encounters, and then returning home.

The life of a California star, and when you see me
The lifestyle of a celebrity in California, and when people see me.

In the drop-top Jag', how many niggas wanna be me?
In a convertible Jaguar, how many people aspire to be like me?

Game is automatic, mandatory I sell
The hustle and game I engage in is effortless and necessary for me to make a living.

To Live or Die, I survive, but with a story to tell
To experience life or death situations, I manage to survive, but I have a tale to share.

'Cause when you gettin' some riches, watch for dumb bitches
Because when you're accumulating wealth, beware of foolish and deceitful women.

They have you labelled a rapist before you get to tongue-kissing
They quickly brand you as a sexual predator even before engaging in passionate kissing.

It's a mean world nigga you strapped, or be a throwaway
It's a harsh and dangerous world, my friend. Either you carry a firearm for protection or you become disposable.

Will I survive the late night, to see dawn of day?
Will I make it through the dangerous nighttime to witness the arrival of daylight?

Nobody knows me, I'm a shadow
Nobody truly knows who I am, I'm like an elusive shadow.

My army fatigues made for battle, pockets full of ammo
I dress in military-style clothing prepared for combat, carrying pockets filled with ammunition.

'Cause when I'm out in the streets, I'm on point, where the static?
Because when I'm roaming the streets, I'm alert and ready for potential conflicts.

Too many done died from semis, so now we automatic
Too many people have been killed by semi-automatic firearms, so now we carry automatic weapons as a precaution.

I disappear whenever heated, ride whenever needed
I vanish whenever there's danger and appear when necessary.

For my niggas up in Clentin gettin' weeded
Dedicated to my friends imprisoned in Clinton Correctional Facility, staying high on drugs.

Continue to roll until I'm old, ride until I die
I will keep moving forward until I'm old, persevering until I eventually die.

Supply long as you motherfuckers buy
I will continue to provide drugs for as long as there are customers willing to purchase them.

My homies rolled by in a bucket, but they ain't short and duckin'
My friends passed by in a cheap, old car, but they aren't avoiding trouble.

Slappin' niggas known for tellin' bitches fuck it in the late night
Slapping individuals who are known for betraying their partners without any regrets during the late hours of the night.

"Last night last night changed it all"
The events of last night were transformative and impactful.

It's in the late night!
It occurs during the late hours of the night!

Holla at me in the late night!
Reach out to me during the late hours of the night!
