Artist: Ice-T Album: Return of the Real Promotional CD Song: To Live and Die in L.A. Typed by: dy_face@yahoo.com [Intro/Chorus: Ice-T] Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark To Live And Die In L.A. Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark The habitat of the ill motherfuckers Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark To Live And Die In L.A. Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark [Verse One: Ice-T] It happens late night, every night my niggaz get trife We roam the streets out for cash flow, might take your life Throw a gun in your face quick, make you run your whole grip If you give us drama, yo, we'll empty the full clip Bullet holes and blood runs down the drain pipe Gunshot, buckshot, ain't going out without a fight But it's too late, you stayed out too late Now, you're doing deep swallowing when you got a car following you.. (DAMN!!) Your crew left you at the club, now you're all alone Wishing you had've brought your chrome Punch your ride and made it home But that night you got lucky to live Many niggaz in the river with the bodies like Sive She gets shot up, if you caught up, the out tripping Needed to take your ass home cause mad niggaz keep tripping (YAH!) But some niggaz won't listen and play And won't live to see the next day [Chorus: Ice-T] Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (Westside Nigga!) To Live And Die In L.A. Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (Yo, What's up?!) The habitat of the ill motherfuckers Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (Yo nigga, where you from?) To Live And Die In L.A. Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (Yeah!) [Verse Two: Ice-T] Slip up and get your motherfucking back blown out By the nigga in them fresh K-Swiss no doubt Mad jewels around my neck, oh yes, I cluck respect I'm hitting switches in my four-door cause I crack my bet And now I'm.. cold looking for my nigga til yet took him off Your fake and fronting; moves you too soft To go head up with the real OG, I'll make you pee You shiver like a little bitch, if you're standing next to me I love rocking through this dark ass base As my boys robbed the party then we're out the place Incase somebody else slipping, tripping Creep up on their ass then I cold slab slide the clip in And pull the Hummer back, watch them react Then they run tell their mama, yo, they just got jacked This ain't the kind that seemed you wanna be him So roll with your windows up on your B.M. Cause if I crossed your path you'll get got L.A.P.D wanna sponsor me for Ambulance cots Cause I'm the mad wreck catcher, my brain is on twister Fucking shrink hit the V.P. then he snatched his wrist [Chorus: Ice-T] Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (Eastside, Nigga!) To Live And Die In L.A. Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark The habitat of the ill motherfuckers Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (Yo, Fuck that nigga, what's up?) To Live And Die In L.A. Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark [Verse Three: Ice-T] Look deep into your animus fears, and you'll find the yellow nigga in black Dressed like the devil to sign me True Power, I got my pop in straps I gangbang and then the ?? be fuck with this and thats But now it's drama and harmer, side with my enemy Should loose, you lost, nigga you're dead, no head I break bones and bruise, I only miss when I misuse A punk like your bitch-ass self can get killed Fuck-buck around, you'll get bagged up Cause I'ma G from South Central and I'm blue ragged up But I got mad love for the Bloods If you said you're my relative, I'll say you're my Cous' No beef; I'm down to smoke white sheets And turn the gangster into the Army that protects the streets But sucker niggaz wanna test my heart If you stepped deeper into my cipher and you're blown apart No remains just bones and veins And if you did do a escape, I use the crunches and canes I'm nocturnal, I stalk the streets With my niggaz on the corner, checking loot of beats [Chorus: Ice-T with minor variations] Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark The habitat of the ill motherfuckers Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (Syndicate Nigga!) To Live And Die In L.A. Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark The habitat of the ill motherfuckers Ain't nobody is safe when the streets get dark (You're getting jacked motherfucker!)
