Midnight Thud Lyrics - Singles - R.a. The Rugged Man

Yo, yo 

I will not stop runnin' 'till I'm winning the race 

I can't live with myself being in second place

[R.A. the Rugged Man] 

Ay yo, here's a little story, something for your ear 

Like the new millennium version of Paul Revere 

Except this ain't fiction, this is real life here 

I be 30 years old in even less than a year 

Yeah I made my mistakes, yeah I paid my dues 

Hated by blacks, made enemies with jews 

I was 7 years ahead of my time in '92 

I said things that wasn't accepted 'till '99 

It's awful, I don't care about the past no more 

I don't wanna get rich, trust me, I'd rather be poor 

Now think about it, notice how I never shown my face 

I don't really want fame, I just want my space 

Yeah, I had hard times like Run-DMC 

But actually I feel pretty blessed just to be me 

I never seen the penitentiary 

I've been shook since I seen the Haiti kid in Penitentiary 3 

They say I should have been more, I should have been great 

Like I'm washed up now, like it's already too late 

I can feel all the hatred when I walk in the place 

But y'all are too scared to say shit to my face, it's 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

Midnight (repeated several times) 

I'll come for you 

When the clock strikes midnight 

I'll come for you 

[R.A. the Rugged Man] 

Ready for hell, ready for war 

Yeah, it's nice to be loved but I like being hated more 

All the sudden magazines give me good reviews 

It used to be my name on the equal bad news 

All the sudden I'm a genius, all the sudden I'm bright 

Like I just now became intelligent overnight 

I be as 1990 grimey as I could be 

And finally society can see admiring me 

And finally dirty dirty boy, dirty b 

Wordy wordy free, dirty boy 

Yeah that's me 

My father specialist 5th class Thornburn John A 

A Vietnam war hero, green beret 

Taught me how to shoot guns and taught me how to fight 

Throw the left hook and throw the uppercut with the right 

Taught me all about bitches, they can ruin your life 

Like in his prime, look what happened to Iron Mike 

People wonder what it's like and how is to be me 

The most underrated in hip hop history 

Think I care if you disagree? 

You ain't got no song out 

And right now you're busy listenin' me 

[Chorus]
