Ice Cube - Tales From The Darkside Lyrics
[Verse One: Ice Cube]
Peace - don't make me laugh!
All I hear is motherfuckers rappin sucotash
Livin large, tellin me to get out the gang
How the fuck do you figure?
that I can say peace and the gunshots will cease?!
Every cop killer goes ignored
They just send another nigga to the morgue
A point scored- they could give a fuck 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 kill ten of me to get the job correct
To serve, protect, and break a niggas neck
And 'Fuck 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...
[Verse Two:]
You wanna free Africa, I stare at yuh
Cuz we ain't got it too good in America
I can't fuck with them overseas
My homeboy died over a key of cocaine
It was plain and simple
The 9mm went <pop> to the temple
<pop pop pop> was the sound I put the bitch down
And ran to the schoolyard bathroom
Looked in the trash can yo it had room
So I ducked my ass in it for a minute
Covered with trash I had to lay back
Mad as fuck, thinkin' about the payback
Tonite 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 sucka'
The shot-gun kicked - and it murdered motherfuckers
I told you last album
when I got a sawed off, bodies are hauled off
Its a shame, that niggas 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...
[Verse Three: 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 lightside
The term they apply to us is a nigga
Call it what you want, cause I'm comin from the coroner
Sayin my rhymes with a Ph.D.
Who's black - don't wanna role - sells his soul
Watch his head go rollin
Who the fuck 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
thats a fact got a fear on their bozack
Run, run, run, their ass off, they can not hide
Yet Cube, they can't fuck with the darkside!

Ice Cube Tales From The Darkside Comments
The ending gives me chills.... because this is exactly what we have to deal with 🔥✊🏾😢
One of the greatest Rap Songs ever.
Chuck D’s verse turned me into a black militant and I’m not even black fam

#TamirRice etc. etc. etc.

One of the best rap albums of all times
New generation don’t know real music

Cube tried to warn us years ago 😩😭😧😐
You want a free Africa I stare at ya cuz we ain't got it too good in America
Tonight they crew had a little fun i went home and cut the barrel off the shotgun
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE PRODUCTION!!!
I can only imagine if Chuck D and Paris had joined the already formidable trio of Tupac, Ice Cube and Ice-T on 1993's Last Wordz from Strictly 5 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. That joint already had hardcore production courtesy of the legendary Jam Master J.
"You wanna free Africa? I stare at ya, cuz we ain't got it too good in Amerikkka..." REAL SHIT!!!!
This is the only song that can pass off as a movie
Chuck was the only rapper that could come on after cube n sound harder as nice as ren was he didnt sound as hard as cube on fuck the police n straight outta compton buf went harder on niggaz4life
Cube second verse one of my favorite of all time
Hid in the garbage can mad as fuck thinking bout the payback
"Tonite they crew had a little fun..."
Chuck d and Ice cube brought it!!!
Ice Cube and Chuck D on a track.🔥🔥🔥

Cube was soooo ahead of his times with his visions
And They Say You Ain’t Win The Common Beef 😂🤷🏾♂️💯 #NWAForever
#HipHop
This album is classic but niggaz4life is the goat
Lac Jones True
@Lac Jones this album is more than repetetive gangsta bullshit...so it beats N4L any given day
This album is even controversial today. 🔥🔥 ice cube is a top 3 rapper
Not top 3, but I'd say it goes-
1) Pac
2) Biggie
3) Nas
4) Rakim
5) Cube
This track makes me wanna do work. Raw and muthafuckin intense. Ice Cube and Chuck D were great together. That one track is way better than all of today's whack ass MC's whole damn career.
Dis da shit i grew up off. We appreciate u Cube
NICE SONG !!
