[Interlude; La the Darkman] Yeah come on, yeah, word [La the Darkman] Woke up early afternoon, just after two It's Saturday contemplating what I'm gon' do Had a long night last night leaving the studio Headed to the kitchen and make me some cereal Fruity Pebbles or Fruit Loops, that's how I do Sit down at the table, read my two-way through Twelve unread messages, damn I was buggin' Last night I didn't feel it vibrating or nothing Up in Speed Henny'd out, I don't f** with Grey Goose Give white liquor to b**hes, it make 'em loose Left out with two dames, my lab, got brains Blindfolded them on the way, they'll never know they way To my hideout, it's like a cave, come there, you be amazed So many left and right turns, you'll think you in a maze LaSon, Bruce Wayne, Darkman, Batman With gadgets like guns and sh**, tons of clips bu*terfly knives and box cutters all within my grip Been stabbin' n***as and sh**, better check my rap sheet Matter fact, all them punk a** cases, I've beat By threatenin' the witness, or hittin' them off with digits Talkin' with they mothers, or puttin' pressure on brothers I'm the purest, some cases didn't have to pick the jurors It didn't go that far, good lawyers know the law Threw out on the preliminaries, yeah, I've been there It's the Dark, L-A-S-O-N, polly with the best of men Generals and kings, Brooklyn to Queens The Bronx back to Harlem, I know n***as is starvin' Staten Island they wildin', those my brothers, beg 'em pardon [Chorus 2X: La the Darkman] In this life, we hustle for all we got There's two sides of the system, have and have nots Some get dough, some get robbed and shot For all your tribulations, I recommends a lot [La the Darkman] For the win, thorough from beginning to the end Everybody that I shake hands with ain't my friends Just a**ociates, let them get close as they suppose to get Close enough to see that rifle, I'mma scope them with Close enough to see that knife, I'mma poke 'em with Not that friendly, don't laugh at all the jokes and sh** Dead serious, most times furious Like a n***a on a b**h, if she miss the period This sh** is chess, not checkers, the IRS gon' check us The DEA gon' check us, the ATF gon' check us If the FBI don't check us first, murders make it worse It's ill seein' your right hand, ride off in a hearse But without bloodshed, there'll be no peace I read that in the Qu'ran, Surah number three Only the strong survive, the weak shall perish Got that out of the Bible, so many didn't hear it The stories, how Moses and Jesus, struggled to feed us Abraham and Mohamed, all the above were prophets Do you history, you'll find out, life ain't a mystery There's always been conflicts, with crews and cliques Like back in the ocean, if you ran into pirates They'll blast they cannons and rob your whole ship For your j**els, your food, all your values Predators eat prey, the same goin' today [Chorus 2X]
