(feat. Brotha Broski, Icee B)



[D-Loc]

Step aside, fly, D-Loc's got a posse

I'm in the house with the young Brotha Broski

Along with me is Icee B

And my homie Dubble-R makes the shit complete

Today we got a message that we wanna kick

It's legit but on the ruthless tip

So like this, in the place to be

I'd like to introduce the young Brotha Broski



[Brotha Broski]

Walkin through the streets

The crime rate still stands to be, held in a cell with no release

Seven counts of crime, the prime suspect

Dialect identifies a brother, that's with lyrics

But those that oppose to this, then immediately

Pump a muthafucka just to prove I'm soon to be

The leader, so follow the proceedures of thee

Impossible, unstoppable, undefeatable Brotha Broski

Is runnin and gunnin suckers down, well, let me catch my breath

Because you ain't heard nothin yet

You know I'ma blow because I ain't no joke

Proceed with caution when approachin a criminal

I'm strictly equipped, the vocab is kept stunnin

Many words will impress, huh, so yo, I keep em comin

As I step out with the bailor, move towards the door

Slammin behind me, "Yo man, what you in for?"

A murder beef, see? And that oughta prove to any fool

Don't step up - and that goes for you

Be true to the game and the game will be true to you

Man, I ain't playin, I'm with the ruthless school

See, it's simple and plain, no need for me to deny, you see

Face the facts that ruthless is reality

[D-Loc]

Hey yo, my main man Dubble-R - step to em, man



[Richie Rich]

It's a late night, and everybody's asleep

But me, because I'm tryin to creep

I got a family to feed and a wife that's bitchin

The house to the right, the window and the kitchen

I'm in there, I'm movin quiet as fuck

Hammer's back on my Magnum cause I'm pressin my luck

It's just a burglary, man, you know, I'm doin this

And willin to kill anyone who tries to ruin this

I need cash, that's what I'm talkin about

I hear the noise upstairs, so it's time to break out

Plan 1 is out, Plan 2 in effect

The big bank job to get the pockets correct

A devilish scheme to get money and I mean it

A cold-ass plan and boy, you shoulda seen it

Ruthless shit from the gats to the outfits

Somethin could go wrong, but nigga, I doubt this

AK's ready, maps on the floor

Loc's got the fuse, 'bout to blow the door

As soon as we get inside we're shootin whatever moves

We're gettin money, we've got no time to lose

Blow the door - damn, the place is empty

Right on time and the shit's startin to tempt me

Safe hella fat but I brought the locksmith

Alarm wires cut so like nothin could stop this

Posse ain't jokin, reverse lights backin

Van doors open and hustlers stackin

Way too much money for a couple of youths

Put together tight by a villain on the loose

415 is a code you must fess to

And if you don't, I hope you brought your vest through

Cause brothers get busy when it comes to technicalities

It's like this: ruthless is reality

[D-Loc]

Icee B, drop that dope shit



[Icee B]

Never backin down from a punk cause I'm a villain

Not afraid to kill, I created the word 'killing'

Bein ruthless is the way that I'm comin up

Not goin to jail, and if I do, I don't give a fuck

Sneakin up on ya like a thief in the night

Never givin a fuck about a sucker, I ain't the soft type

So run up or shut up, boy, see, that's what I'm sayin

I put the clip in the Uzi and commence the sprayin

Like a smooth operator that operates smoothly

Don't try to hit me, boy, you can't bruise me

I'm a leader, so start followin me

Numero uno, the one they call Icee B

Young gangster by the age of 15

You wanna battle me? You must be a dopefiend

Smokin and chokin on the rhymes that are dope and

The ones I be fuckin up be wishin and hopin

Prayin that Icee B will go legit, go legit

And quit the ruthless style, yo, that's bullshit

And to the punk police who try to stop me

I'm killin and whoopin they ass cause ruthless is reality



Ruthless is reality

[Dr. Dre] (Ruthless)

Ruthless is reality

Ruthless is reality



[Richie Rich]

Yo Icee B, that was tight

But now it's time for my main man the L-o-c to step to the mic

Yo Loc - step up in and show em what time it is



Ruthless is reality



[D-Loc]

Comin from the one man Rambo

Here's an example of the way that I'm livin in the big O

Wanted by the punk police for at least 4

Murders or more, simply because I takes no shorts

I refuse to be caught loose and ridiculed

Who's to choose to disturb the groove I use?

Delusions of madness, I psychologically get pissed

When a sucker confronts me for goin ruthless

That's the way that I know, so I go for mine

First I lay low, and then yo, I commit the crime

Wipe the finger prints, leavin no single hint or a clue

To what the fuck I just pursued

Some call it robbery, but shit, it takes care of me

Life ain't easy, man, and this ain't the Cosby's

I do what it takes to get paid in this day and age

Nobody gives a damn or lends me a helping hand

So don't sweat me, I'm doin exactly

The same as the other ( ? ) if he was in my position

Never downgrade another brother, just love him, see

Cause all the fuck that I'm sayin, man, is ruthless is reality
