[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 Peebles 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 $#&@ with Grey Goose
Give white liquor to (*##$es, it make 'em loose
Left out with two dames, my lab, got brains

Blind folded them on the way, the'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 %#@!, tons of clips
Butterfly knives and box cutters all within my grip

Been stabbin' ^!$$%s and %#@!, better check my rap sheet
Matter fact, all them punk $$# 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 ^!$$%s 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 side's 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 $$#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 %#@!
Dead serious, most times furious
Like a ^!$$% on a (*##$, if she miss the period

This %#@! is Chess, not Checkers, the IRS gon' check us
The DEA gon' check us, the ATF gon' us
If the FBI don't check us first, murders make it worse

It's ill seein' your right hand, ride off in a herse
But without bloodshed, the'll be no peace
I read that in the Koran, silver, 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 Mohammed, 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 clicks

Like back in the ocean, if you ran into pirates
The'll blast they cannons and rob your whole ship
For your jewels, your food, all your values

Predators eat prey, the same goin' today

[Chorus 2X]
