The Darkside

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
