Dust, dust on my shoes

Heed the word as I kick the blues

Bring it on, bring it on, yo, I never lose

But the dust broke quick like a short fuse

I ain't got no money in pockets

But my taxes are payin for rockets

Some say, "Return to a dustbowl"

But the devil say, "Sacrifice a poor soul"

Now you're pullin out cards, times is hard

Hops ain't got a job, only cheap shots

Big shots pimpin the pay checks

What comes next? (Strictly snappin necks)

Quick, roll the dice, what's your move?

Games of chance, smoke rocks, or booze

Booze your mind with the Minister

Dust to dust, life is sinister



[Ice Cube x8:] (Ashes to ashes, dirt to dirt)



Ring around, ring around a pocket full of po's

Pimp on the corner got a lotta, lotta hoes

Ashes to ashes, they all fall down

A needle in a arm and a frown

Down on your luck, got stuck on a scumble

Dust to dust keeps the mortals humble

Takin out heads on a platter

The Dadda Rich beats is much fatter

Got trouble in New York City

With a capital T down to the nitty-gritty

Sexy what a pity what a pity, inner city what a pity

But I sweep and dust off the city

Get with the goose that's good for the gander

Cheap is talk, cheap talk equals slander

Slam a little hardship, bring it to the masses

Movin asses doc bumps classes

Fill it to the rim, slim-dim while I swing

Off the ill rim pullin on my skin

Ready, set, get a spliff lit

Cause some on some hold-your-dick shit

Dust in the wind, it goes up

So come on down as I blows up

Up and down, Daddy Rich bring the cuts

The Minister bringin on the ducks



[Ice Cube x8] (Ashes to ashes, dirt to dirt)



Nature holds it, mother scolds it

Forces beyond control, they hold it

Like your microphone is amped up

Stamp on a lyric, get licked and sent up

Up the river, the Indian giver

Give a little, take a little, yo, I get rid of

Two-faced schemers on a genocide

The five-o rolls on the wrong side

I take a jeep or stand wax his ass

Definin the meanin of white trash

??? blowin in the steam

Destruction of a Dr.'s dream

Scheme on another, yo, not this brother

And get dusted with the hectic drummer

Step, step off while you sleep like rust

Droppin jewels on the DUST TO DUST
