Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was once a thug from around the way
Eazy, but you should-
Bitch, shut the fuck up, get the fuck out of here
Yo, Dre (What's up?) give me a funky ass bassline
[Verse 2]
What the fuck is up in the place to be?
Comin' on the mic is Eazy-motherfuckin'-E
Dre is on the beat, Yella's on the cut
So listen up close while we rip shit up
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm Eazy-E, I got bitches galore
You might have a lot of bitches but I got much more
With my super duper group comin' out to shoot
Eazy-E, muthafuckas cold knockin' the boots
'Cause I'm (A hip-hop) thugster, I used to be a mugster
If you heard (Dopeman), you think I own a drugstore
Gettin' stupid because I know how
And if a sucker talks shit, I give him a
8 ball sippin', the bitches are flippin'
Slow down, I hit a dip and continue my trippin'
Hittin' my switches, collect from my bitches
The money that I make so I can add to my riches
Fill my stash box and start rubbin' my gat
Feelin' good as hell because my pockets are fat
A hardcore villain cold roamin' the streets
And with a homie like Dre just supplyin' the beats
[Verse 4]
Because I'm a gangsta havin' fun
Never leave the pad without packin' a gun
Hittin' hard as fuck, I make you ask what was it
Boy, you should have known by now, Eazy-duz-it
[Verse 5]
(I was knockin' muthafuckas out)
(What's your name boy?)
(Funky, fresh Eazy-E)
(Kick, kick that shit)
(Where you from fool? Compton, yeah)
[Verse 6]
Rollin' through the hood, cold tearin' shit up
Stick my head out the window and I say what's up
To the **** on the corner cold bumpin' the box
But you know that's an alibi for slangin' the rocks
A dice game starts, I said what the fuck
So I put my shit in park and had to try my luck
Hard to roll with my bitch jockin' 24/7
Rolled them muthafuckas, ate 'em up, hit eleven
Got another point, I made a ten a fo'
Was takin' **** money and was itchin' for mo'
Laughin' in their faces and said you're all makin' me rich
Then one punk got jealous, cold slapped my bitch
He pulled out his gat, I knew he wouldn't last
So I said to myself, homeboy, you better think fast
He shot, then I shot as you can see, I cold smoked his ass
[Verse 7]
Because I'm a gangsta havin' fun
Never leave the pad without packin' a gun
Hittin' hard as fuck, I make you ask what was it
Boy, you should have known by now, Eazy-duz-it
[Verse 8]
(Wait a minute, wait a minute, who does it?)
(Muthafuckin' Eazy does it)
(But how does he do it?)
(Eazy does it, do it easy)
(That's what I'm doin')
(Stop)
(Man, what you gon' do now?)
[Verse 9]
Now I'm a break it down just to tell a little story
Straight out the box from the gangsta category
About a sucker, a sucker muthafucka
He's addicted, he's a smoker but in Compton called a clucker
He used to have a house car and golden rings
But the cooky cooky crack took all those things
He must of been starvin' 'cause he broke in my house
Caught the **** on the street and straight took his ass out
Now I'm wanted for a murder that I had to commit
Yeah, I went to jail, but that wasn't shit
Got to the station 'bout a quarter of nine
Call my bitch to get me out 'cause I was down for mine
The bitch was a trip cold hung up the phone
Now my only phone call was in the gankin' zone
All the shit I did for her like keepin' her rich
I swear when I get out, I'm gonna kill the bitch
Well, by now you can guess that it was just my luck
The baliff of the station was a neighborhood cluck
I looked him straight in the eye and said what's up
And said let's make a deal, you know I'll do you up
Now back on the streets and my records are clean
I creeped on my bitch with my Uzi machine
Went to the house and kicked down the do'
Unloaded like hell and cold smoked the ho
[Verse 10]
Because I'm a gangsta havin' fun
Never leave the pad without packin' a gun
Hittin' hard as fuck, I make you ask what was it
Boy, you should have known by now, Eazy-duz-it
[Verse 11]
(From around the way, born in '73)
(Hardcore B-boy named Eazy-E)
(It's '88 now, '73's obsolete)
(A **** with a serious ass attitude and 100% street)
(And if you all wanna hear some more)
(In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother)
(Word to the muthafucka)
