People say, “Ice, you got money” I say, “Man, I just got some money And I know how easy it is to lose it” You know what I’m saying? I know how one mistake can cost you it all I didn’t come from money I came from the dark side And I never wanna go back there
The ghetto is not black, the ghetto is poor You don’t know me, you ain’t never met me before You pre-judge my life and you don’t know my pain You feel you’re so much better when we’re all the same Because you have money you feel you’re above us all So fucking self-righteous until you take that fall And then you’re flat broke and you need food to eat Once behind guarded gates and now you walk the streets Police are different now, they get fucked with every day You walk my people now, they move the other way You never gave a fuck, just lived your selfish life You never broke a law, hungry you fucking might
Welcome to the dark side Survival makes you blood thirsty Into the dark side Survival makes you blood thirsty Welcome to the dark side Survival makes you blood thirsty
Don’t ever judge a man till you lived his life The tables could turn in the blink of an eye Talking shit damn from that high horse you ride One mistake for you, into the dark side
Into the dark side Survival makes you blood thirsty Welcome to the dark side Survival makes you blood thirsty Into the dark side Survival makes you blood thirsty
