[Intro: King Mez] Where you at? where you from? Whatcha doing over here, motherfucker? Whatcha think? what you bang? This ain't no motherfuckin' gang
[Verse 1: King Mez] Now I ain't never been no gangsta But I know niggas, know niggas, from the darkside There's some cold killas, cold killas (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 If you die tonight, you die tonight Momma might cry tonight if she find you high off the dynamite But to you is just another Friday night Got a nigga for the car tonight With the bible right beside that pile of white That's what this life is like (Now do you love your life?)
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre] 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 motherfuckin' 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 goin' 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 Now who you know who came this fucking far From the fucking bottom? 30 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
[Interlude: Eazy-E] Eazy-E C-P-T OG from the other side (Eazy) From the other side (Eazy)
[Part 2: Gone]
[Hook: Marsha Ambrosius] 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
[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 telling me I've grown into some kind of monster But they don't know me though, I've been this way since 17 Tryna get finances poppin', man I thought that was the object To some of my niggas lost they life and then there goes the team My only dream was holding us 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 they circumstances lost me homie We ain't even talking, fuck that energy, fuck up off me
[Hook: Marsha Ambrosius] 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
[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar] 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 fuckin' 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 don't wanna fight now Subliminally sent to 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 thick But with or without all the diamonds though to you I'm just another nigga
[Hook: Marsha Ambrosius] 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
