(Alright, go)
This comes from the E Chapter 8 verse 10, and it reads:
It's time to put some niggas in check
When you shoot a gun, hot shells eject
Catch 'em they get used as evidence
Only when they get brushed for finger prints
You ask why am I like this
Cause you wanna hear about shit like this
So I tell it how I know it, just hope the fuck I don't show it
Niggas out frontin', loitering and looting
Let's recreate a drive-by shooting
More brothers in a car blocks away
Waiting to spray, shotgun, Mack-10 and an AK
They roll through to a line of niggas
It was 9 just like the fuck they figured
Go around tha corner come back real slow
Lights off, car's in neutral, rollin' at a snail's pace and creepin'
Hoping to catch all of them sleepin'
A so-called gang, drugs and sex (NWA)
Start busting a cap and all the others jet, 3 of 'em fall to their doom
Pronounced dead at the scene, with gun shot wounds
3 dead because Compton is scandalous
I'd like to tell you, brother, ashes to ashes, dust to dust (Amen)
Da da da
(You will now witness the sound of TV Ang-Ang-Angels)
(We will now pass around the hat)
(That's good enough)
No it ain't, you fucked up, you fucked up (it's cool)
No, it ain't

Eazy-E

Eric Lynn Wright, professionally known as Eazy-E or Casual, was born on September 7th, 1964, Eazy-E got his name from back in the days when he sold drugs on the streets of Compton, where he lived his whole life. He also was a member of Kelly Park Compton Crips.

In 1986 Wright took the money he gained from this “business” to found the record label Ruthless Records, together with Jerry Heller, his manager. The first artists signed in to this label was Eazy’s group “Niggaz With Attitude”, N.W.A, the first rap group who published a track “Fuck Tha Police”, which caused a warning by the FBI.

A very big part of E’s music career was his beef with Dr. Dre, caused by Dre’s diss “Fuck Wit Dre Day” and his assumption that his contract on Ruthless Records was a scam. On almost every track released after 1993, Eazy mentions Dre or the Death Row Records Posse.
