Ice Cube - Endangered Species (Tales From The Darkside) (Remix) (Feat. Chuck D) (Remix; Feat. Chuck D)(2003)

[00:36.05] Peace. haha don't make me laugh!
[00:38.73] All I hear is muthafucker's talkin' sucotash
[00:40.53] Livin' large, tellin' me to get out the gang
[00:43.28] I'm a nigga, gotta live by the trigger
[00:45.05] How the fuck do you figure?
[00:46.85] That I can say peace and the gunshots won't cease
[00:49.57] Every cop killin' goes ignored
[00:52.22] They just send another nigga to the morgue
[00:54.01] A point scored- they could give a fuck about us
[00:56.71] They rather catch us with guns and white powder
[00:58.64] If I was old, they'd probably be a friend of me
[01:00.46] Since I'm young, they consider me the enemy
[01:04.02] They kill ten of me to get the job correct
[01:04.92] To serve, protect, and break a niggas neck
[01:07.63] Cuz I'm the one with the trunk of funk
[01:09.41] And 'fuck tha police' in the tape deck
[01:11.28] You should listen to me cuz there's more to see
[01:13.93] Call my neighborhood a ghetto cuz it houses minorities
[01:16.63] The other color don't know you can run but not hide
[01:19.33] These are tales from the darkside...
[01:24.78] Verse two:
[01:47.35] You wanna free africa, I stare at yuh
[01:49.29] Cuz we ain't got it too good in america
[01:51.94] I can't fuck with them overseas
[01:53.79] My homeboy died over a key of cocaine
[01:56.47] It was plain and simple
[01:58.28] The 9mm went pop to the temple
[02:00.98] Pop pop pop was the sound I put the bitch down
[02:03.60] And ran to the schoolyard bathroom
[02:05.43] Looked in the trash can yo it had room
[02:07.27] So I ducked my ass in it for a minute
[02:09.97] Covered with sweat I had the layback
[02:11.76] Mad as fuck, thinkin' about the payback
[02:14.41] Tonite the crew gonna have a little fun
[02:16.34] I went home and cocked the barrel of my shotgun
[02:18.42] It's gettin' critical - I start the five point o
[02:21.17] There they go - drive real slow
[02:22.91] I yelled out 'ice cube sucka'
[02:24.75] Shot gun hit - and murder mutahfuckers
[02:27.48] I told you last album, when I got a sawed off, bodies are hard off
[02:31.93] Its a shame, that niggas die young
[02:33.79] But to the light side it don't matter none
[02:36.45] It'll be a drive by homicide
[02:38.26] But to me it's just another tale from the darkside...
[02:41.81] Verse three: chuck d
[02:58.18] Standing in the middle of war
[02:59.97] The middle we flex
[03:00.89] When we die, they won't make check
[03:03.51] Ebony can't see to the darkside
[03:05.30] The term they apply to us is a nigga
[03:08.12] Call it what you want, cuz I'm comin' from the coroner
[03:09.99] Same applies with a phd
[03:11.76] Who'z black - don't wanna role - sells his soul
[03:15.32] Watch his head go rollin'
[03:17.13] Who the fuck are they foolin'?
[03:18.95] Nobody knows, but I suppose the color of my clothes
[03:21.60] Matches the color of the one on my face as they wonder what's under my waist
[03:25.21] [Standin on the verge] of them gettin' brown
[03:27.04] Thats a fact got a fear on their bozack
[03:29.70] Run, run, run, their ass off, they can not hide
[03:31.54] Yet cube, they can't fuck with the darkside!
[03:54.12]
