| Verse one: ice cube
|
| Peace. |
| haha dont make me laugh!
|
| All I hear is muthafuckers talkin sucotash
|
| Livin large, tellin me to get out the gang
|
| Im a nigga, gotta live by the trigger
|
| How the fuck do you figure?
|
| That I can say peace and the gunshots wont cease
|
| Every cop killin goes ignored
|
| They just send another nigga to the morgue
|
| A point scored- they could give a fuck about us They rather catch us with guns and white powder
|
| If I was old, theyd probably be a friend of me Since Im young, they consider me the enemy
|
| They kill ten of me to get the job correct
|
| To serve, protect, and break a niggas neck
|
| Cuz Im the one with the trunk of funk
|
| And fuck tha police in the tape deck
|
| You should listen to me cuz theres more to see
|
| Call my neighborhood a ghetto cuz it houses minorities
|
| The other color dont know you can run but not hide
|
| These are tales from the darkside…
|
| Verse two:
|
| You wanna free africa, I stare at yuh
|
| Cuz we aint got it too good in america
|
| I cant fuck with them overseas
|
| My homeboy died over a key of cocaine
|
| It was plain and simple
|
| The 9 mm went to the temple
|
| was the sound I put the bitch down
|
| And ran to the schoolyard bathroom
|
| Looked in the trash can yo it had room
|
| So I ducked my ass in it for a minute
|
| Covered with sweat I had the layback
|
| Mad as fuck, thinkin about the payback
|
| Tonite the crew gonna have a little fun
|
| I went home and cocked the barrel of my shotgun
|
| Its gettin critical — I start the five point o There they go — drive real slow
|
| I yelled out ice cube sucka
|
| Shot gun hit — and murder mutahfuckers
|
| I told you last album, when I got a sawed off, bodies are hard off
|
| Its a shame, that niggas die young
|
| But to the light side it dont matter none
|
| Itll be a drive by homicide
|
| But to me its just another tale from the darkside…
|
| Verse three: chuck d Standing in the middle of war
|
| The middle we flex
|
| When we die, they wont make check
|
| Ebony cant see to the darkside
|
| The term they apply to us is a nigga
|
| Call it what you want, cuz Im comin from the coroner
|
| Same applies with a phd
|
| Whoz black — dont wanna role — sells his soul
|
| Watch his head go rollin
|
| Who the fuck are they foolin?
|
| Nobody knows, but I suppose the color of my clothes
|
| Matches the color of the one on my face as they wonder whats under my waist
|
| of them gettin brown
|
| Thats a fact got a fear on their bozack
|
| Run, run, run, their ass off, they can not hide
|
| Yet cube, they cant fuck with the darkside! |
