It's dark, and hell is hot
[Chorus]
Ain't no sunshine when it's on

Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when it's on, cause when it's on
ya ^!$$%z know to be gone, everytime, cause we don't play


[DMX]
"Who turned out the lights?" is what ^!$$%z be sayin

Now you don't want to fight, but y'all ^!$$%z be playin
Thinkin it's alright, keep playin with that role
And you gonna know the night, when you layin in that hole

Dirt gettin tossed in yo' grave, now it's all over
Preacher said "You was brave," but now it's all over
You just one of the many, plenty, I done gave it to

(*boom*) Ain't no savin you
No matter how many tears your moms' cried
Ain't gon bring yo' $$# back, plus in hell you gon' fry

Why? But now the only two relative questions
is "Do we bury him or burn? Any suggestions?"
Either way, you up out of here for good

Now when ^!$$%z mention your name they knockin on wood
Did I, get my, point across?
Another body on the shottie another joint I toss


[Chorus]
+ everytime, cause we don't play..

everytime, cause we don't play..

[DMX]

It ain't no sunshine when the Dark Man comes out
And I want mine, so I plan to keep my gun out
We got four 9's, so ^!$$%z run in and run out

But I bust mine, cause I'd like to hear some shouts
Get at me dog, ^!$$%z know how its goin dizzy
When it comes to that flow, I gets busy

Who is he? Dark Man, of the unknown
(GRRR, ARF!) One dog, one bone
Now who ain't goin home? Looks like you

You hear strike one, talkin %#@!, strike two
Won't be a strike three, cause I don't play fair
I'ma look you in your eye while he hit you from the rear

Be like - yeah, holdin you up 'cause you fallin (WHAT?)
The Lord ain't comin, 'til ^!$$%z stop callin
You was ballin, a minute ago, in it for dough

'til it was, "Yo, I swear to God, I didn't know"

[Chorus]

+ everytime, cause we don't play..
everytime, cause we don't play..


[DMX]
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Whatchu think you gon' get, $#&@ around with my dough

Just so it ain't no mistakes, this is my show
One (one) two (two) three, here I go!
Your %#@! is quick, and your %#@! is slick, but this %#@! is thick

Ain't you hear this %#@!? Damn right, I can finish %#@!
If you caught that verse without a rewind you can see mine
but you be blind, I'll do it 360 and come up from behind

Tap you on your shoulder, have you turnin around
Hit you with somethin that'll have you burnin the ground
Be like, "Damn, ain't nuttin left of money, but a pile of ash"

Life is good, so please enjoy it while it lasts
Cause you know ain't got much longer to go
The quicker you go depends on the stronger the flow

And ^!$$%z know, I don't give a !#@*, right or wrong
There ain't no sunshine when it's on


[Chorus]
+ everytime, cause we don't play..
everytime, cause we don't play..
