[Chorus: Nate Dogg]. It's gonna get in ya child of the night. and the hood rolls on. How do I begin to do this shit right. get my hustle on. [Ludacris]. Look here!. Now I'm a man of many talents and a man of my word. But on my path to see the light. sometimes my vision gets blurred. It's all a part of growin up and seein life at it's worst. Then tryin to iron out my wrinkles puttin family first. It seems like the whole world is out for sinkin my boat. But with God as my navigator I'll be stayin afloat. And I admit to bein caught by many foolish distractions. Then I'm forced to pay the price as the result of my actions. I'm battlin with MYSELF and every DAY it's a war. Curiosity killed the cat why am I Curious George?. Gotta keep my nose up outta thangs that ain't none of my biz. And just cause somethin looks don't really mean that it is. Get through the agony and anger the pain and strife. And take the necessary steps to try to change my life. I got some questions for you Lord cause my mentality's hood. So why is everything that's bad for me feel so good?. [Chorus]. It's gonna get in ya child of the night. and the hood rolls on. How do I begin to do this shit right. get my hustle on. [Ludacris]. Now I'm a only child so excuse some of my selfish ways. I got spoiled when I was young spoil myself today. Oh but I feed at least a thousand stomachs. and how I've done it. is from the ground up a hundred miles and runnin. Dodgin and duckin everybody tryin to hammer me down. A self-made millionaire baby look at me now. Can't tell me nothin still hungry as the day I began. Cause all I ever really needed was a pen in my hand. And a pad in my lap didn't matter in fact. Me and my momma lived in one room. and what's badder than that. was a young man forced to grow up at the age of 12. Tryin to get in where I fit streets givin me hell. But yet I give it right - back so how you like - that. Continue doin wrong 'til I was on the right - track. Tell me 'bout heavy money I might give it a PUSH. But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Come on. [Chorus]. It's gonna get in ya child of the night. and the hood rolls on. How do I begin to do this shit right. get my hustle on. [Ludacris]. No matter how much older we get man. we all still children at heart. We all make mistakes it's all good. Now I've tried plenty of times to get rid of my bad habits. Livin life on the cuttin edge takin a stab at it. And learnin from my mistakes try not to make 'em twice. Just admittin when I'm wrong tryin hard to make it right. And baby nobody's perfect in this world of ours. There's plenty people gettin stitches in this world of scars. But over time pray to God that he can heal your wounds. Try to love and love again until they seal your tomb. Cause life is short if you don't know this it'll pass you by. That's why my head is in the clouds tryin to pass the sky. Never blinkin for a minute keep my eyes on my foes. They wanna catch me in the open bring my life to a close. Meanwhile that's why I'm bringin so much life to my shows. I've seen smiles I'm makin changes turnin glitter to gold. Don't let these devils play you down or belittle your soul. Just be happy with yo'self and it's so simple to grow. Come on
