Sir Jinx - Endangered Species (Tales from the Darkside) lyrics

[Intro: Female News Reporter] "At the bottom of our news tonight, there's been a new animal aimed at falling off the face of our Earth. Yes, young black teenagers are reported to be the oldest, and the newest, creatures added to the endangered species list. As of now, no efforts have been made to preserve the Blacks. When asked why, a top top law official adds, "Because they make good game"" (A young n***a got it bad cause I'm brown) [Verse 1: Ice Cube] Peace? Hahaha, don't make me laugh! All I hear is motherf**ers rappin' succotash Livin' large, tellin' me to get out the gang I'm a n***a, gotta live by the trigga How the f** do you figure That I can say "Peace" and the gunshots will cease? Every cop k**er goes ignored They just send another n***a to the morgue A point scored, they could give a f** about us They rather catch us with guns and white powder If I was old, they'd probably be a friend of me Since I'm young, they consider me the enemy They k** ten of me to get the job correct To serve, protect, and break a n***a's neck Cuz I'm the one with the trunk of funk And "f** tha Police" in the tape deck You should listen to me cuz there's more to see Call my neighborhood a ghetto cuz it houses minorities The other color don't know you can run but not hide These are tales from the darkside [Interlude: Chuck D + sample] All of us are endangered, damn! (A young n***a got it bad cause I'm brown) (A young n***a got it bad cause I'm brown) [Verse 2: Ice Cube] You wanna free Africa? I'll stare at ya Cuz we ain't got it too good in America I can't f** with them overseas My homeboy died over keys Of c**aine, it was plain and simple The 9mm went (buck) to the temple (Buck, buck, buck) was the sound I put the b**h down And ran to the schoolyard bathroom Looked in the trash can, yo it had room So I ducked my a** in it for a minute Covered with trash I had to lay back Mad as f**, thinkin' about the payback Tonight the crew gonna have a little fun I went home and cut the barrel of my shotgun It's gettin' critical - I stole a 5.0 I let it go - drive real slow I yelled out "Ice Cube, s**a" The shotgun kicked, and it murdered motherf**ers I told you last album "When I got a sawed-off, bodies are hauled off" Its a shame, that n***as die young But to the light side it don't matter none It'll be a drive by homicide But to me its just another tale from the darkside [Interlude] [Sampled guitar riff] [Verse 3: Chuck D] Standing in the middle of war, in the middle we flex When we die, we won't make Jet Ebony can't see to the light side The term they apply to us is a n***a Call it what you want, cause I'm comin' from the corner Same applies with a Ph.D Who's black - don't wanna roll - sells his soul Watch his head go rollin' Who the f** are they foolin'? Nobody knows, but I suppose the color of my clothes Matches the color of the one on my face As they wonder whats under my waist (Standin' on the verge) of them gettin' brown That's a fact, got a fear of the bozack Run, run, run, their a** off, they can not hide Yeah Cube, they can't f** with the darkside!
