Endangered Species (Tales From The Darkside) (Feat. Chuck D) |
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! |
