[Opening dialogue]
Die n***a! We are born to die n***a
You've been dyin for 400 years
n***as know how to die
n***as don't know nothin else, but dyin
n***as dream 'bout dyin
[Repeat 4X]
"I'm a motherf**in n***a" - "with an attitude"
[Dr. Dre]
I got a case, of spittin in a motherf**er's face
So me and my ace, we got a taste
Of a motherf**er's billy club, he took his gun and
Put it to my head and said, "n***a start runnin"
So tell me what's the next episode?
Is he crazy, does he want to chase me or waste me?
I thought "Run n***a run" but I caught myself
Because my secondary thought was d**h
I've got head and heart real, but still a motherf**er said
I want another black motherf**er dead
n***as ain't good for sh** to me
Cause it's a race for second cla**, so get your a**
Up against the wall b**h! And then he tried
To jump me but the punk became a victim of a walkby
f**in with Dre, you get a foot up in your a**hole
It's just another way to let you know
n***a send 'em, n***a send 'em, n***a send 'em
Punk can't f** with me! Real motherf**in G ("You out there?")
Straight from the streets of the C.P.T. ("Well clap your hands to what he's doin")
Tellin you why, real n***as don't die!
[Hook: repeat 2X]
"I-iiiiiii, just want to celebrate!"
("Get on down!" - "Here it is")
[MC Ren]
Real n***as don't die cause they eventually multiply
The n***as I'm with, they take an eye for an eye
Because the times are so wrong, gotta stay so strong
n***as gotta keep it goin on and on
And don't let no paleface throw your a** in a snail race
Have your residence occupyin a jail space
That's what they want to do cause the system is f**ed around
I try to let you know with the records that's underground
They don't give a f** about a n***a, they would rather pull the trigger
And have you in front of a barrel smilin sayin "Cheese!" ("You out there?")
So n***a get smart and rebel back
I'm not with that black sh** so I'm not gonna yell that
All I see is n***as getting hara**ed
And can't do nothin about it but get a foot in they a**, yo
But if every n***a grabbed a nine
And started shootin motherf**ers it would put 'em in line
And that's how it's supposed to be
When a p**y-a** n***a try to f** with me
Yo, because it's useless to try
To k** a n***a cause n***a a motherf**in real n***a don't die!
[Hook]
[Interlude dialogue]
Die n***a, everywhere you go!
n***as dyin
n***as been dyin for 400 years
("I'm a motherf**in n***a" - "with an attitude")
[Eazy-E]
Only the good die young, so that makes me young and bad
Puttin a**-kickings on the n***as that never had
So I guess that makes me tough sh**
Straight up gangsta, wrong n***a to f** with
So how can a n***a die, when he's causin the bloodshed
I shoot motherf**ers in the head
Tryin to make a n***a extinct because they fear me
But never wanna hear me
So I'mma let 'em know how a n***a's livin
Takin from motherf**ers cause nobody ain't givin
A damn thang! To a n***a, a real n***a
So I'm living by the motherf**in trigger
Cause a n***a ain't afraid of bein locked up
I'm out of luck, so why should I give a f**?
But they still want to try
To k** a n***a like me but motherf**in real n***as don't die!
[Hook] - 2X
[Over Hook]
Yeahhhhhh!
A real n***a don't die!
Yeahhhh, motherf**ers!
("Die, n***a!")
