The Darkside

歌詞

Come take a trip through the eye of a black man Lookin' out at life like he really doesn't give a damn Feel the hate and anger of a punk gang banger Mad gun slinger, better yet a worthless nigga See the ills of life for what they are Feel yourself pitched back from the world real far Life is grimmer than it ever was As your blood simmers you feel your brain buzz People look at you like you're up to somethin' You look right back like it ain't nuthin' Ya don't give a fuck, life is a dream If you die tomorrow then you won't be a fiend for the green any more 'Cos that's what keeps ya tickin' And that's what keeps ya stickin' if not for that ya might be chillin' You live in a hell-hole, you wanna get out But the only thing you're seein' is doubt On the darkside As you walk down the street your mind is in a frenzy You look out at the world like everybody's your enemy 'Cos where you come from a friendly face is a bad sign That person's even not evil just fuckin' with your mind So as you walk along you frown your face Steppin' with the ghetto strut at a rhythmic pace On a mission to nowhere, yet your walk determined The devil's got your soul and your heart is burnin' You couldn't give a damn about another man's life That's how it is, you're livin' trife You've seen enough blood spilt to fill up the Hudson So the "peace dude" shit ain't sayin' nothin' 'Cos you couldn't give a damn if your own mama died But if you had a child, then you would cry It's like the 3 9's flipped to the 666 All praise is due to the upside down crucifix The darkside A day comes when you see the light Your thoughts become clear and you're feelin' bright You're happy like a kid again, it must be a dream Is it a dream? So real it seems You're on top of the world and you've reached the other side Floatin' through the sky on the clouds you ride You thought you'd escaped but it didn't last 'Cos now you're addicted to the sleepin' gas On the darkside
