[Part 1: Darkside]
~#**************#~
[Intro: King Mez]
~#**************#~
Where you at? Where you from?
~#**************#~
Whatcha doing over here, motherfucker?
~#**************#~
Whatcha think? What you bang?
~#**************#~
This aint no motherfuckin game
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: King Mez]
~#**************#~
Now I aint never been no gangsta
~#**************#~
But I know niggas, know niggas from the darkside
~#**************#~
Theres some cold killas, cold killas (My man, he used to tell me)
~#**************#~
“My nigga, you should roll with us, roll with us” (Every night)
~#**************#~
Married to the more money, more women
~#**************#~
Now I aint ever been the one thatll pull a gun on you
~#**************#~
But I know who got em
~#**************#~
No, I never sold no drugs, homie
~#**************#~
But I know who got em
~#**************#~
And I never had no fucking bullets in me
~#**************#~
But I know who got em
~#**************#~
Mmmmm, heeeey-heeeeeey
~#**************#~
If you die tonight, you die tonight
~#**************#~
Momma might cry tonight if she find you high off the dynamite
~#**************#~
But to you, well, its just another Friday night
~#**************#~
Got a nigga feeling kinda nice
~#**************#~
With the Bible right beside that pile of white
~#**************#~
Thats what this life is like
~#**************#~
(Now do you love your life?)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Now please dont give me a reason, reason
~#**************#~
‘Cause I know you wanna keep breathing this evening
~#**************#~
Ive been killing the game for seasons, believe him
~#**************#~
That Im the motherfuckin one to breed them and lead em
~#**************#~
In a league of my own
~#**************#~
You aint even made it up to my throne
~#**************#~
You aint even authorized for this song
~#**************#~
Might be best for you to get goin
~#**************#~
Best be careful about your tone
~#**************#~
That shit can hit me wrong and its on
~#**************#~
I have tried my best to be calm
~#**************#~
Please dont make me grab that phone (Uh-oh)
~#**************#~
Now who you know who came this fucking far
~#**************#~
From the fucking bottom?
~#**************#~
Thirty years in this bitch and Im still here
~#**************#~
Decade after decade
~#**************#~
And evidently I must be doing somethin right
~#**************#~
Word to my nigga Eazy
~#**************#~
[Interlude: Eazy-E]
~#**************#~
Eazy-E C-P-T OG from the other side (Eazy)
~#**************#~
From the other side (Eazy)
~#**************#~
[Part 2: Gone]
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius]
~#**************#~
Its easy to say you need me
~#**************#~
When you got everything you want
~#**************#~
But Its hard for me to believe it
~#**************#~
Youll find out when Im gone
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
I went from hanging out down at the swap meet
~#**************#~
To driving some of the hottest cars L.A. has ever seen
~#**************#~
People been tellin me Ive grown into some kind of monster
~#**************#~
But they dont know me though, Ive been this way since seventeen
~#**************#~
Tryna get finances poppin, man, I thought that was the object
~#**************#~
‘Til some of my niggas lost they life and then there goes the team
~#**************#~
My only dream was holding it down, like, fuck who tryna stop us
~#**************#~
You could get the middle finger or the reddest beam
~#**************#~
Its your choice, I took this industry by storm, young and black
~#**************#~
Killing them softly
~#**************#~
Dont ever call me fortunate, you dont know what it cost me
~#**************#~
So anybody complaining about they circumstances lost me, homie
~#**************#~
We aint even talkin, fuck that energy, fuck up off me, ugh!
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius]
~#**************#~
Its easy to say you need me
~#**************#~
When you got everything you want
~#**************#~
But Its hard for me to believe it
~#**************#~
Youll find out when Im gone
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
~#**************#~
You look at my lifestyle
~#**************#~
Im living my life now
~#**************#~
Im dealing with diligent Benjamin
~#**************#~
How come my attitude piped down?
~#**************#~
Im fucking with Ice now
~#**************#~
Im fucking with shit that you only can get
~#**************#~
On an oversea flight now
~#**************#~
You scared of my heights now
~#**************#~
But still, I got enemies giving me energy
~#**************#~
I wanna fight now
~#**************#~
Subliminal, sending me all of this hate
~#**************#~
I thought I was holding the mic down
~#**************#~
I thought I was holding my city up
~#**************#~
I thought I was good in the media
~#**************#~
You think Im too hood in my video?
~#**************#~
But really, no clue, you idiot
~#**************#~
I just cant help myself
~#**************#~
Even when that record spin
~#**************#~
Every now and then, you hang yourself
~#**************#~
‘Cause I got the green and gold (With a million sold)
~#**************#~
Plus plenty more, (and my dollar thicker)
~#**************#~
But with or without the diamonds, though
~#**************#~
(To you) Im just another (Nigga!)
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius]
~#**************#~
Its easy to say you need me
~#**************#~
When you got everything you want
~#**************#~
But Its hard for me to believe it
~#**************#~
Youll find out when Im gone
~#**************#~
[Outro: Marsha Ambrosius]
~#**************#~
Youll find out when Im gone
