Itand's dark, and hell is hot
[chorus]
ainand't no sunshine when itand's on
only darkness every day
ainand't no sunshine when itand's on, cause when itand's on
ya niggaz know to be gone, everytime, cause we donand't play
[dmx]
andquot;who turned out the lights?andquot; is what niggaz be sayin
now you donand't wanna fight, but yand'all niggaz be playin
thinkin itand's alright, keep playin with that role
and you gonna know the night, when you layin in that hole
dirt gettin tossed in yoand' grave, now itand's all over
preacher said andquot;you was brave,andquot; but now itand's all over
you just one of the many, plenty, i done gave it to
(*boom*) ainand't no savin you
no matter how many tears your momsand' cried
ainand't gon bring yoand' ass back, plus in hell you gonand' fry
why? but now the only two relative questions
is andquot;do we bury him or burn? any suggestions?andquot;
either way, you up out of here for good
now when niggaz 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 donand't play..
everytime, cause we donand't play..
[dmx]
it ainand't no sunshine when the dark man comes out
and i want mine, so i plan to keep my gun out
we got four 9and's, so niggaz run in and run out
but i bust mine, cause iand'd like to hear some shouts
get at me dog, niggaz 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 ainand't goin home? looks like you
you hear strike one, talkin shit, strike two
wonand't be a strike three, cause i donand't play fair
iand'ma look you in your eye while he hit you from the rear
be like - yeah, holdin you up cuz you fallin (what?)
the lord ainand't comin, and'til niggaz stop callin
you was ballin, a minute ago, in it for dough
and'til it was, andquot;yo, i swear to god, i didnand't knowandquot;
[chorus]
+ everytime, cause we donand't play..
everytime, cause we donand't play..
[dmx]
and i know, i know, i know, i know, i know
whatchu think you gonand' get, fuck around with my dough
just so it ainand't no mistakes, this is my show
one (one) two (two) three, here i go!
your shit is quick, and your shit is slick, but this shit is thick
ainand't you hear this shit? damn right, i can finish shit
if you caught that verse without a rewind you can see mine
but you be blind, iand'll do it 360 and come up from behind
tap you on your shoulder, have you turnin around
hit you with somethin thatand'll have you burnin the ground
be like, andquot;damn, ainand't nuttin left of money, but a pile of ashandquot;
life is good, so please enjoy it while it lasts
cause you know ainand't got much longer to go
the quicker you go depends on the stronger the flow
and niggaz know, i donand't give a fuck, right or wrong
there ainand't no sunshine when itand's on
[chorus]
+ everytime, cause we donand't play..
everytime, cause we donand't play..
