[Intro: Michel'le, Eazy-E, & Dr. Dre]

He was once a thug from around the way

Eazy, but you should—

Bitch, shut the fuck up! Get the fuck outta here!

Yo, Dre (What's up?)

Give me a funky ass bassline!


[Bridge]

What the fuck is up? (Up) in the place to be (Be)

Comin' on the mic is Eazy-motherfuckin'-E (E)

Dre is on the beat, Yella's on the cut

So listen up close while we rip shit up (Shit up, shit up, shit up, shit up)


[Verse 1]

Well, I'm Eazy-E, I got bitches galore

You may have a lot of bitches, but I got much more

Wit my super-duper group coming out the chute

Eazy-E, motherfuckers, cold knocking the boots

'Cause I'm a hip-hop thugster, I used to be a mugster

If you heard dopeman, you think I own a drugstore

Getting stupid because I know how

And if a sucker talks shit, I give him a (POW)

8 Ball sippin', the bitches are flippin'

Slow down, I hit a dip and, continue my trippin'

Hittin' my switches, collect from my bitches

The money that I make, so I can add to my riches

Fill my stash box and start rubbin' my gat

Feeling good as hell because my pockets are fat

A hardcore villain cold roamin' the streets

And wit' a homie like Dre just supplyin' the beats


[Chorus]

Because I'm a gangsta having fun

Never leave the pad without packing a gun

Hitting hard as fuck, I make you ask what was it

Boy, you should have known by now, Eazy-Duz-It


[Bridge]

("I was") ("knocking motherfuckers out")

("What's your name, boy?")

("Funky, fresh Eazy-E")

("Kick, kick that shit")

("Where you from, fool?") ("Compton") ("Yeah!")


[Verse 2]

Rolling through the hood, cold tearing shit up

Stick my head out the window and I say, "What's up"

To the niggas on the corner cold bumpin' the box

But you know that's an alibi for slangin' the rocks

A dice game starts, I said, "What the fuck?"

So I put my shit in park and had to try my luck

Hard to roll wit' my bitch jockin' 24-7

Rolled them motherfuckers, ate 'em up, hit 11 (Rock that shit, homie)

Got another point, I made a ten a fo'

Was takin' niggas money and was itchin' for mo'

Laughing in they face and said, "Y'all making me rich"

'Til one punk got jealous, cold slapped my bitch

He pulled out his gat, I knew he wouldn't last

So I said to myself, "Homeboy, you better think fast"

He shot (*pow, pow*), then I shot (*gunshots*)

As you can see, I cold smoked his ass (Haha)


[Chorus]

Because I'm a gangsta having fun

Never leave the pad without packing a gun

Hitting hard as fuck, I make you ask what was it

Boy, you should have known by now, Eazy-Duz-It

[Interlude: Dr. Dre + Eazy-E (MC Ren)]

Wait a minute, wait a minute, who does it

Motherfuckin' Eazy does it

(But how does he do it)

"Eazy duz it, do it eazy, that's what I'm doing"

("Stop!") (Man, what you gonna do now?)


[Verse 3]

Now I'ma break it down just to tell a little story

Straight out the box from the gangsta category

About a sucker, a sucker motherfucker

He's addicted, he's a smoker but in Compton called a clucker

He used to have a house, car and golden rings

But the cooky cooky crack took all those things

He must've been starving 'cause he broke in my house

Caught the nigga on the street and straight took his ass out

Now I'm wanted for a murder that I had to commit

Yeah, I went to jail, but that wasn't shit

Got to the station about a quarter to 9

Called my bitch to get me out, 'cause I was down for mine

The bitch was a trip, cold hung up the phone

Now my only phone call was in the gankin' zone

All the shit I did for her, like keeping her rich

I swear when I get out, I'm gonna kill the bitch

Well, by now you can guess that it was just my luck

The bailiff of the station was a neighborhood cluck

I looked him straight in the eye and said, "What's up?"

And said, "Let's make a deal, you know I'll do you up"

Now back on the streets and my records are clean

I creeped on my bitch wit' my Uzi machine

Went to the house and kicked down the do'

Unloaded like hell and cold smoked the ho


[Chorus]

Because I'm a gangsta having fun

Never leave the pad without packing a gun

Hitting hard as fuck, I make you ask what was it

Boy, you should have known by now, Eazy-Duz-It


[Outro]

From around the way, born in '73

Hardcore B-boy named Eazy-E

It's '88 now, '73's obsolete

A nigga with a serious ass attitude and a hundred percent street

And if you all wanna hear some more...

In one way or the other, I'm a bad brother

Word to the motherfucker
