​The D.O.C.
Real Niggaz Don’t Die

[Intro: Dr. Dre, The Last Poets sample]
The motherfuckin' saga continues...
"Die, n***a! We are born to die, n***a!
You've been dyin' for 400 years
N***as know how to die
N***as don't know nothin' else but dying
N***as dream about dying"

[Bridge: MC Ren]
I'm a motherfuckin' n***a (With an attitude)
I'm a motherfuckin' n***a (With an attitude)
I'm a motherfuckin' n***a (With an attitude)
I'm a motherfuckin' n***a (With an attitude)

[Verse 1: Dr. Dre]
I got a case of spittin' in a motherfucker's face
So me and my ace, we got a taste
Of a motherfucker's billy club, he took his gun and
Put it to my head and said "N***a, start runnin'"
So tell me, what's the next episode?
Is he crazy? Does he want to chase me or waste me?
I thought "Run, n***a, run", but I caught myself
Because my secondary thought was death
I've got head and heart real, but still a motherfucker said
"I want another black motherfucker dead
N***as ain't good for shit to me
'Cause it's a race for second class, so get your ass
Up against the wall, bitch!" and then he tried
To jump me, but the punk became a victim of a walk-by
Fuckin' with Dre, you get a foot up in your asshole
It's just another way to let you know
N***a send 'em, n***a send 'em, n***a send 'em
Punk can't fuck with me
Real motherfuckin' G
Straight from the streets of the CPT
Telling you why, real n***as don't die
[Refrain]
"I just want to celebrate!"
"I just want to celebrate!"

[Verse 2: MC Ren]
Real n***as don't die 'cause they eventually multiply
The n***as I'm with, they take an eye for an eye
Because the times are so wrong, gotta stay so strong
N***as gotta keep it goin' on and on
And don't let no paleface throw your ass in a snail race
Have your residence occupyin' a jail space
That's what they wanna do 'cause the system is fucked around
I try to let you know with the records that's underground
They don't give a fuck about a n***a
They would rather pull the trigger
And have you in front of a barrel smilin', sayin' "Cheese!"
So n***a get smart and rebel back
I'm not with that black shit so I'm not gonna yell that
All I see is n***as getting harassed
And can't do nothin' about it but get a foot in they ass, yo
But if every n***a grabbed a nine
And started shootin' motherfuckers, it would put 'em in line
And that's how it's supposed to be
When a pussy-ass n***a try to fuck with me
Yo! Because it's useless to try
To kill a n***a, 'cause, n***a, a motherfuckin' real n***a don't die!
[Refrain]
"I just want to celebrate!"
"I just want to celebrate!"

[Interlude: The Last Poets sample]
"Die, n***a, everywhere you go
N***as dying, n***as been dyin' for four-hundred years"

[Bridge: MC Ren]
I'm a motherfuckin' n***a (With an attitude)

[Verse 3: Eazy-E]
Only the good die young, so that makes me young and bad
Puttin ass-kickings on the n***as that never had
So I guess that makes me tough shit
Straight up gangsta, wrong n***a to fuck with
So how can a n***a die, when he's causin' the bloodshed
By shootin' motherfuckers in the head?
Tryin' to make a n***a extinct because they fear me
But never wanna hear me
So I'ma let 'em know how a n***a's livin'
Takin' from motherfuckers 'cause nobody ain't givin'
A damn thang! To a n***a, a real n***a
So I'm living by the motherfuckin' trigger
'Cause a n***a ain't afraid of bein' locked up
I'm out of luck, so why should I give a fuck?
But they still want to try
To kill a n***a like me, but motherfuckin' real n***as don't die!
[Refrain]
"I just want to celebrate!"
"I just want to celebrate!"
"I just want to celebrate!"
"I just want to celebrate!"

[Outro: MC Ren]
Yeah, a real n***a don't die!
Yeah motherfuckers!
("Die, n***a!")
