[Part 1: Darkside]

Where you at? Where you from?

What you doing over here, motherfucker?

What you think? What you bang?

This ain't no motherfucking game

Now I ain't never been no gangster

But I know niggas, know niggas from the darkside

There's some cold killers, cold killers (My nanny used to tell me)

My nigga used to roll with us, roll with us (Every night)

Married to the more money, more women

Now I ain't ever been the one that'll 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

Mm, hey-hey

If you die tonight, you die tonight

Momma might cry tonight if she find you high off the dynamite

But to you, well, it's just another Friday night

Got a nigga feeling kinda nice

With the Bible right beside that pile of white

That's what this life is like

(Now do you love your life?)

Now please don't give me a reason, reason

'Cause I know you wanna keep breathing this evening

I've been killing the game for seasons, believe him

That I'm the motherfucking one to breed them and lead 'em

In a league of my own

You ain't even made it up to my throne

You ain't even authorized for this song

Might be best for you to get going

Best be careful about your tone

That shit can hit me wrong and it's on

I have tried my best to be calm

Please don't 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 I'm still here

Decade after decade

And evidently I must be doing something right

Word to my nigga Eazy

Eazy-E C-P-T OG from the other side (Eazy)

From the other side (Eazy)

[Part 2: Gone]

It's easy to say you need me

When you got everything you want

But it's hard for me to believe it

You'll find out when I'm gone

I went from hanging out down at the swap meet

To driving some of the hottest cars L.A. has ever seen

People been telling me I've grown into some kind of monster

But they don't know me though, I've been this way since seventeen

Tryna get finances popping, man, I thought that was the object

'Til some of my niggas lost their 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

It's your choice, I took this industry by storm, young and black

Killing them softly

Don't ever call me fortunate, you don't know what it cost me

So anybody complaining about their circumstances lost me, homie

We ain't even talking, fuck that energy, fuck up off me, ugh!

It's easy to say you need me

When you got everything you want

But it's hard for me to believe it

You'll find out when I'm gone

You look at my lifestyle

I'm living my life now

I'm dealing with diligent Benjamin

How come my attitude piped down?

I'm fucking with Ice now

I'm 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 I'm too hood in my video?

But really, no clue, you idiot

I just can't 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) I'm just another (Nigga!)

It's easy to say you need me

When you got everything you want

But it's hard for me to believe it

You'll find out when I'm gone

You'll find out when I'm gone
