Drink The Kool-Aid lyrics - Ice Cube

This ain't Sinatra! - This ain't the Carter!
I am the "chaperone" nigga - who brought ya!
I am the author! - This is Holy water!
From the Holy Father - the Rock of - Gibraltar!
Step up to the alter! - Step up to the slaughter!
Get circumsized son and turned into a daughter!
Niggas know they oughta - drink the fuckin' kool aid!
Industy laid out authorities are too late!
MC's passed the due date! - Niggas? - They do hate!
You are Bobby Boucher, I'm the "Mane" like "Gucci"!
I rock the Louie! - But not like Kanye!
Nigga see me kinda like - Harry Belafonte!
Step into the room they be like: "Ah, Day-O!"
Yeah, cause they know - a nigga ain't play-doe!
Shots all fatal! - Is this Laredo?
Boarder town knock'em down just like Lego's!

Drink the kool aid!
I make mothafucka drink-drink the kool aid!

(Let 'em know!) Do you... (Let 'em know!) Do you...
(Let 'em know!) Know who you fuckin' with?! Know who you fuckin' with?!
Do you... (Let 'em know!) Do you...
(Let 'em know!) Know who you fuckin' with?! Know who you fuckin' with?!
Always... (Always!) Always... (Always!)
Know who you fuckin' with! Know who you fuckin' with!
Always... (Always!) Always... (Always!)
Know who you fuckin' with! Know who you fuckin' with!

I ain't the Doctor! - This ain't the patient!
This ain't that nigga always on vacation!
This ain't no white boy's rehabilitation!
This is crazier - then a boat full of Haitians!
This is inflation mixed with degradation!
This ain't no dead rappers reincarnation!
I heard it was a "New WestCoast", I ain't worried!
I murder more stars then Conrad Murray!
I got more bars then the penitentary!
I wrote this shit without a rhyme dictionary!
Young bucks try to step up - to the harim!
Looking for some pussy I'm a' old buck, I dare 'em!

Do you... Do you...
Know who you fuckin' with?! Know who you fuckin' with?!
Do you... (Let 'em know!) Do you...
(Let 'em know!) Know who you fuckin' with?! Know who you fuckin' with?!
Always... (Always!) Always... (Always!)
Know who you fuckin' with! Know who you fuckin' with!
Always... (Always!) Always... (Always!)
Know who you fuckin' with! Know who you fuckin' with!

DRINK THE KOOL AID!
I make mothafucka drink-drink the kool aid!
(Let 'em know!) DRINK THE KOOL AID!
Drink the kool aid! I make mothafucka drink...

(Ice Cube!)
"I-I-I- Ice Cube!"
"The Don..." (Let 'em know!) "Ain't no stoppin' the G!"
They call me (The Don, nigga!)

Do you... (Let 'em know!) Do you...
(Let 'em know!) Know who you fuckin' with?! Know who you fuckin' with?!
Do you... (Let 'em know!) Do you...
(Let 'em know!) Know who you fuckin' with?! Know who you fuckin' with?!
Always... (Always!) Always... (Always!)
Know who you fuckin' with! Know who you fuckin' with!
Always... (Always!) Always... (Always!)
Know who you fuckin' with! Know who you fuckin' with!

No Country For Young Men lyrics - Ice Cube

Many Motherfuckers Criticize Pros And How They Play
And Many Motherfuckers Criticize Rappers And What They Say
Even Though They Criticize Secretly They Fantasize
But They Know They'll Never Paid Be To Play

Yea I'm a Kill One Of You Young Punks
With A Old School Flow
Flow Flow

[Verse 1:]
Though I Walk Through The Shadow Of Death
I Gotta Make Sure That My Shoes And My Outfit Fresh
Ya'll Bitches Get Jealous When You See Me Coming
Ya'll Would Too If You See My Woman
Ya'll Know What We Bout To Do what we do
This Shit Here Bout As Sick As The Flu
Drunk Motherfuckers Wanna Vomit On My Shoe
Niggas Can't Have Shit Prolly Cause Of You
Rappers Go To Jail Like Oprah Go To Yale
Steadman policy Don't Ask Don't Tell
Wheres My Waterbees As I Go Get The Mail
Half Black Is The New Black Can't You Tell?
It Was BLue Black Like Wesley Snipes In New Jack
Now You Got To Have A White Mama Just To Do That
Tiger Woods Used To Be A Safe Nigga
Go Ahead Let Your Daughter Have A Date With Him
He'll Make With Her Prolly In A Wifebeater
TIger Bout To Change His Name To Cheater
I Don't Like It When You Call Me Big Poppa
From South Central And I Hate Helicopters
If We At School I'll Break In Your Locker
See Me With A Waterbottle Mixed With sparkle Vodka
Drink Responsibly Or Drink Constantly
Be Who You Wanna Be in This Economy
Drunk As Sean Connery At The Finery
Can't Throw Me Out I'm The Honery
Trust Me I'll Never Be The Nominee
I Don't Kiss Enough Ass I'm Too Honery
Ice Cube Be where the Piranah Be
Swim Upstream Eat all kinda meat
Westcoast Treat It Like Hyenas
Take What You Want From These Lieing Ass Cheaters
Eat The Fuck Out These fake ass zebras
That's How We Act When You Don't Wanna Feed Us
Crazy Motherfucker Since I Was A Fetus
You Might Aswell Join Us You Ain't Gonna Beat Us
Please Believe Us You Can Ask Jesus
I'm be here bout As Long As Regis
Understand I Never Pledge Of Alligiance
It's Like Balla Confusion Might Cause A Contusion boy
See You're Crusing For A Bruising
Fucking With A Pricipal That Don't Like Students
Don't You Know detention Is A Lynching
And If I failed To Mention, I'm spending up My Pension
No No No No

[Verse 2:]
The Reason I hung In
Cause This Right Here Is No Country For Young Men
Sunny You Done Fucked Up The Churches Money
I'm Red Fox And You That Big Dummy
THis Junkyard Was A Empire
Ya'll Let It Get Ran BY Vampires
Most MCs Are God Damn Liars
Like Them fuckin Supervisors Working Up keiser
Bitch I'm Not A Dodger I'm A Laker Punk
Use A Fucking Clipper You Can Call Me Jack The Ripper
Cut You Up By Your Gizzard Then Down By Your Liver
Rooter to The Tooter Gut You Like Flipper
Dipper Ya'll Better Treat Me Like The Skipper
Hair Trigga The Air Nigga
Air Honkey And Air Critter
I Come through And Kill Every Litter
Like That Like That Like That...

No Country For Young Men
No No No No
It's just a ball of Confusion
No Country For Young Men
No No No No
Your World Is Just An Illusion
No Country For Young Men
No No No No
It's a ball of Confusion
No Country For Young Men
No No No No
Your World Is Just An Illusion

[Outro:]
It is what it is mother fucker
No country for young men, only a country for real niggas

For real for real, on some real shit
Let me tell you what's real and what's fake
Look don't let me hurt your feelings

Kings of this shit, let it be known
Shit real niggas do real things, niggas better recognize
That's OG shit, old school
West side rollin.

It Is What It Is lyrics - Ice Cube

[Intro]
Will I ever get it right? Get it right? [2X]
My momma think I'm outta sight, outta sight [2X]
It is what it is, it is, it is [2X]
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids [2X]
(Understand me!)
Now homey do you dig, do you dig, do you dig?
It is what it is, it is, is is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids [2X]

Now will I ever get it right? Get it right?
Even though I'm out at night, livin life
Girl I'm tryin to make this money, I ain't even playin
Course the game I'm in, it ain't even payin
When I'm on the go, on the go
Everybody wanna know, wanna know
Cube where the fuck you goin, each and every day?
I just turn around, and I say

[Chorus]
It is what it is, it is, it is [2X]
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids [2X]
Now homey do you dig, do you dig, do you dig?
It is what it is, it is, is is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids [2X]

Even though I'm messin up, messin up (you fuckin up)
Feel the devil catchin up, catchin up
I put it in the Lord's hands, he is the man
Please his demands 'fore he turn me into sand (don't do it)
But got to pay the rent, pay the rent
Without the government, government
I do it for the fuck of it, fuck of it [2X]

[Chorus]

[Interlude]
Got to get my swagger up [2X]
Please get yo' swagger up
Got to get my swagger up
Better get my swagger up

[Outro]
Check this out homey
This business right here, is personal
I would go around you, over you, under you or THROUGH you
to make sure none of my family suffer
Do you understand me?!

[Chorus]

Hood Robbin' lyrics - Ice Cube

[Ice Cube]
(If I can sell you the American Dream, I can sell you anything...)

[Verse 1]
I got to get out, I'm gettin put out of my house
I got to pack up my refrigerator and couch
It's a set up, but the bank wants me out
Or the L.A.P.D. will smoke me out
This "adjustable rate"- it choked me out
They gave me a loan and I had no clout
They gave me a house, for me and my spouse
Called my mama and my aunt, y'all should re-finance
I let 'em dance wit' the devil
Dig they own grave, and I gave them the shovel
FUCK, my daddy built that house
And when he got drunk, he almost killed that house
Is this American dream, or the American scheme...?
...That got me walkin these American streets?
It's kinda sad when you have to get a hernia
Because ya helped ya grandmama move furniture

(If I can sell you the American Dream, I can sell you anything...)

[Verse 2]
Look at this maggot... with his stimulus package
I can give a fuck about a Dow Jones average
What the fuck you do when your pay check is average?
Law abiding citizen, turned into a savage
Got to feed the children, got to feed the habit
Fell into a rabbit hole, chasin that rabbit
Now I'm in Wonderland, feelin like the Son of Sam
I'm at'cho West coast branch, GUN IN HAND
I'ma feel like Superman...
Walk by the teller, better call a trooper ma'am (Wahh)
It's the revenge of the lambs
Big bad wolf, we sick of these scams
Sick of these plans, sick of this dance
Walked into his office, took the nine out my pants (Wahh)
You not a man, you a (serpent)
Then I prayed to God, let the nine get to workin
(I better get to workin)

[Hook]
You know, I heard they hood robbin
Your money or your life, and it ain't no stoppin 'em
(I better get to workin)
You know, I heard they hood robbin
Your money or your life, and it ain't no stoppin 'em
Ain't that a bitch?
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich?
Ain't that a bitch?
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich?

[Verse 3]
Drug dealer M.D.
Doctor Feel Good, give you what'chu need
In California, prescribe that weed, Oxy Contin, and Codeine
Turn ya grandmama into a fiend
And see this Cyanide? The first hit ain't free
I know you're bout to die, but let me see your ID
I know you're bout to lie, but can ya pay this fee?
If you can't pay, then please have a seat
You can't see a doctor, but you can see a priest
We can't save ya life 'til we got some insurance
Your premium is paid, at that assurance
I hope ya got endurance
They got me on hold, and I'm under the influence
Nurse high as a kite, in charge with my life
And everything is lost, without Blue-Cross

[Hook]
You know, I heard they hood robbin
Your money or your life, and it ain't no stoppin 'em
You know, I heard they hood robbin
Your money or your life, and it ain't no stoppin 'em
Ain't that a bitch?
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich?
Ain't that a bitch?
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich?

[Outro]
Whatever you need, we got it for cheap right here baby
This America, it ain't gon' cost ya nothin...
But a arm and a leg... maybe one of them motherfuckin ears, haha
Don't trip, just put in on ya credit card...
Put it in ya baby' name, haha

I Can Show You The World Girl The World Girl
But There Ain't Nothing Else Like LA

[Verse 1:]
When They Come To LA They Got The Wrong Impression
When They Come To LA They Gotta Learn They Lesson
When They Come To Westcoast It's Such An Obsession
When They're Played Out I'm Just An Exception
When It Comes To Girl I Need Your Affection
Everytime You Walk By You Get My Inspection
All You Gotta Do Now Is Make Your Selection
And It Won't Be Hard To Win This Election

[Chorus:]

But Ain't Nothing Like Rolling Down PCH
Top Down West Bound It's All Good
You Don't Go Hollywood When You're From Hollywood
Let's Go To The Hood And Fuck With The Haters
Then Head To The Staples Centre And Hang With The Lakers
No. 6 Is Cool But No. 24 Is The Champ
And Even D. Wade And Chris Bosh Know That

[Chorus:]
I Can Show You The Pawls And Brawls, The Taj Mahal To The Strips In M.I.A.
I Can Show You The Waterfalls In Spain And Prague

They Always Pick LA Over Miami
I Love Miami I Ain't Dissing Miami
But Where Would You Rather Get Robbed For Your Grammy?

Compton And Watch If You Wanna Be Hard
We Got It All What You Thought Not At All
If You Sick Of This Shit Take A Tylenol
It's Just Me And My Woman Verses all Ya'll
And We Taking A Bow It's Our Curtain Call
The Angels Are Lost They Don't Wanna Be Found
If God Is Looking For Them I Can Show Him Around

[Chorus:]

Fat Cat lyrics - Ice Cube

[Chorus 1]
Countin money, eatin rats, gettin pussy all day
All I do is lean back, still makin greenbacks

[Chorus 1 (4X) for the first 30 seconds]

[Chorus 2: repeat "That's all I do!" 4X over]
All I do is lean back, still makin greenbacks
Still makin green, still still makin greenbacks
All I do is lean back, still makin greenbacks
Haters get mad cause I'm still makin greenbacks

I'm a fat cat, look at me, stomach like a Volkswagen
Still I can handle my, business got these hoes braggin
Ice Cube put it down (bitch I am the dragon)
I am a fuckin clown (yo look how I'm actin)
They wanna throw me out - but they bet' not touch me
Is this nigga fuckin crazy, or is he just lucky?
Actin like he own the place, y'all niggaz best to rendezvous
This nigga ain't no pussy y'all, this kind of cat all he came to do is

[Chorus 1 (2X) + Chorus 2]

People wanna know how I make that money
Momma Ice Cube didn't raise no dummy
This fat cat don't chase no mice
Hoodrats think they can live off Ice
Enemies think I'm finicky, nigga be
walkin 'round here like a Kennedy
Tend to be, movin like a centipede
Y'all muh'fuckers still just Little League
Now I know when the haters get mad, I'm doin my job
Some niggaz can't dunk 'til you throw them a lob
Better go find, another one to rob
You just a role player this my squad
You get Lenched, this my Mob
Ain't that I, you a facade
All in the alley, lookin through the trash
I'm a fat cat, lookin through the glass

[Chorus 1 (2X) + Chorus 2]

Man Vs Machine lyrics - Ice Cube

[Intro:]
Yo, we in a fight for our lives
we in a fight for our lives
and the trick thing about it
i don’t know if we can win
and what’s sad? i don’t thing we WANNA win

[Verse 1:]
can you help me? a nigga need a job
i’m desperate, for some corn on the cob
i’m helpless, will i have to steal and rob?
no black? dinner so i got to ask bob
bob got a job but it’s done by a robot
no lunch breaks so it could do a whole lot
more than a human being and it’s European,
ran by a Korean, American,
so there I am, surrounded by aluminum
there’s no way you can run,
there’s no way you can be,
it’s just and me, versus modern day machinery

[Chorus x2:]
it’s man vs machine baby
my head’s in the guillotine baby
it might take it off clean baby
automated dreams it was man vs machine baby

[Verse 2:]
I’m a fly caught in the web
a fish stuck in the internet
don’t they know i’m a deathly catch?
eat this meat, every bite so full of stress
so what can I say to you?
i’m highly relatable and biodegradable
i thought we was unfadeable
slaves to machinery, is that the way to go?
i don’t need you to fuck 24/7
i guess that computer love
i don’t need you to love
human contact ain’t what it used to was

[Chorus x2:]
it’s man vs machine baby
my head’s in the guillotine baby
it might take it off clean baby
automated dreams it was man vs machine baby

[Outro x2:]
the whole world is automated
it need to be investigated
when people are eliminated
what we supposed to do when its time to feed all the babies?

Pros Vs Joes lyrics - Ice Cube

[Chorus]
Ice Cube boombayay, (yeah!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (get up!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (ah ah!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (get up!) boombayay

[Ice Cube]
what's up baller, I'm an owner now
You niggas ball for me, I be kickin' it up in my suite
Lookin' down ain't none of y'all fuckin with me
I'm like a bully that you mothafuckas hating to see
Better whisper my name, like The Wizard of OZ
If you say it three times, a lyrical barrage
This is not a mirage, there's no way to dodge
This Cobair engine, met before it collaged
I'm swearin to god, this worse than Jihad
Fuckin with Cube, is like the Book of Eli
I'm pullin my blade, I'm slicin you bastards
You local mothafuckas, I rap to the masses
You internet bitches, My pen is so vicious
The genies' out the bottle, and grantin no wishes
Before you attack, ya should've asked Mack
He would've told ya I'm the architect of Gangsta Rap

[Chorus]
Ice Cube boombayay, (yeah!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (get up!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (blah!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (get up!) boombayay

[Ice Cube]
You mothafuckas in the D-League, I'm in the G-League
I got the most money, I smoke the best weed
I got the best kids, And the best life
With a fine wife, Nigga I'm in paradise
Amateurs think it's easy, but you and that bitch
Ain't about to be the next george and weezy, Just pay to see me
I'm a pro with a show that's incredible, You better let it go
Better learn how to do the dougie
Before I rap you in a snuggy and push you in the buggy
This is Ice Cube, know the people love me
On some Spiritual shit, like the man above me (Cmon')

[Chorus x2]
Ice Cube boombayay, (yeah!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (get up!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (ah ah!) boombayay
Ice Cube boombayay, (get up!) boombayay

What Is A Pyroclastic Flow? lyrics - Ice Cube (feat. Keith David)

[Keith David]
What's the definition of a pyroclastic flow?
That's what happens when a volcano blow
That's what happens when Ice Cube starts to flow
Red hot lava mixed with salava
Pulvarising everything in it's wake
Nothing can survive a pyroclastic flow
And noone will survive this one

I Got My Locs On lyrics - Ice Cube (feat. Young Jeezy)

[Chorus]
I got my locs on [2x]
And you can't see my eyes [2x]
I got my locs on [2x]
And you can't tell I'm high [2x]
I got my locs on [2x]
And you can't see my eyes [2x]
I got my locs on [2x]
And you can't tell I'm high [2x]

[Ice Cube - Verse 1]
I got my locs on, welcome to the terrordome
I got them carrots on givin off them pheromones
women love it when they see me on that motorcycle
niggas hate it cuz they know I'm makin more than Michael

[Chorus]

[Young Jeezy - Verse 2]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I got my locs on cuz my eyes are burgundy

lucky motherfucker missed your ass by some inches
next time understand what you fuckin' with, it's legendary status
sittin behind these glasses nigga

[Chorus]

It Takes A Nation lyrics - Ice Cube

[Ice Cube]
There are seven known wonders of the world
Yeah, hehe, you about to witness the 8th muh'fucker

I got King Kong in my trunk, King Kong in my doors
My nuts play ping-pong from the noise
You can hear me from a block away
I'm sittin next to yo' ass and can't hear, what you got to say
My shit is loud, my ears is ringin
My paint job is wet, my chrome is gleamin
I feel like a vet ballin on these rookies
An old school bully, you must have played hooky
I bring it like a bookie my aggression is depressin
Don't give a motherfucker time to learn his lesson!
A LUNATIC~! Y'all know what I represent
The only rapper who wanna fistfight the President!

[Chorus: repeat 4X]
It take a nation of niggaz to hold us back

[Ice Cube]
When I bang this is dangerous, niggaz go brainless
So bang this with the fo'-five stainless
And understand that you lookin at the famous
West coast rapper, who act like a anus
Hollywood! They thought they could tame this
pitbull, but I know what the game is
Them fuckers cheat like a NBA ref
If you smoke one they'll electrocute you to death
I got God on my intellect, Godzilla on my neck
When a nigga come through, who you wanna holla at
Ghostriders hit the deck, when your boy got a tec
Where the fuck is, Afrika, Bambaataa at?
We need to take it back, fuck Viacom
Clear Clear Channel, and Radio One
You motherfuckers programmed by the programmers
That's why you gettin locked up by the do' slammers
Not me!

[Chorus]

[Ice Cube]
They music so fluffy, I'ma stay gutter
That shit is kind of popcorn, my shit is so butter
My style never change, in 22 summers
Straight independent, and doin my numbers
This ship don't sail, you know I'm still paid
So sourpuss niggaz, can drink lemonade
I'm doin it for the love, you doin it because
you need that advancement to spend on them dubs
I don't need a penny, but I need many
Don't worry about my money boy cause I got plenty
You muh'fuckers worry about flossin so much
You don't know the fundamentals you forgot how to brush!
These 32 teeth, will give yo' ass grief
Bite you like a Fatburger if you got beef
So who's it gon' be? Your favorite MC
You scared of the government they scared of me
Now what?

[Chorus]
It take a nation of niggaz and streets of crack [echoes]

You niggas know my pyroclastic flow flow
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow it's R-A-W, R-A-W

[Ice Cube]
You looking at the grand wizard, war lord vocal chord so vicious

Dumb nigga don't spend it as soon as you get it
And recognize I'm a captain and you a lieutenant

[Chorus 1]
I can say what I want to say ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it
If I call you a nigga ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it

If I eat you like a cannibal ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it

[Ice Cube]
I'm raw as a dirty needle
Choke an eagle

Lyrically I'm so lethal
Plant thoughts in they mind just to defeat you
Ice Cube is a saga y'all spit saliva
And I spit lava
I got the fearless flow
Don't get near this ho
If you sacred to go
I keep it gangsta and why should change that
fuck you all you motherfuckers trying to change rap
But aren't you the same cat that sat back when they brought cocaine back
I'm trying to get me a Maybach
how you motherfuckers gonna tell me don't say that
you the ones that we learned it from
I heard nigga back in 1971

[Chorus 2]
So if I act like a pimp ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it
If I call you a nappy headed ho ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it
If I shoot up your college ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it
If I rob you of knowledge ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it

[Ice Cube]
Thank God when I bless the mic
You finally get to hear the shit that you like
A nigga talking bout real life so you can try to get this shit right
Use your brain not your back use your brain not a gat
It's a party not a jack (for real)
Don't be scared of them people
Walk up in there and show them that you equal (fuck them fuck them)
Don't be material a nigga grew up on milk and cereal
I never for got vaness and imperial
Look at my life Ice Cube is a miracle
It could be you if you was this lyrical
It could be her if she was this spiritual
Cause me and Allah go back like cronies
I don't got to be fake cause he is my homie

[Chorus 3]
If I sell a little crack ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it
If I die in Iraq ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it
If I take you for granted ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it
If I fuck up the planet ain't nothing to it gangsta rap made me do it

[Intro]

[Ice Cube]
Oh yeah and another thing
For all ya niggas that don't do gangsta rap
Don't get on TV talking about gangsta rap
Cause 9 times at a 10 you don't know the fuck you talk about
Talk about that bullshit rap you do
Stay the fuck out of mine

Hood Mentality lyrics - Ice Cube

[Ice Cube]

Fuck school nigga, I'ma be a dope dealer

I'ma be a killa, yep a urban guerrilla

I'ma stack scrilla, yeah buy me a villa

Sell a 5-0 to my auntie Priscilla

I don't give a fuck that she look like "Thriller"

Hit that shit one more time and fuck around and kill her

Cause I got the heart of a Pittsburgh Steeler

Black nigga draped in gold, with a nine milla

Love money, love jail, love that penitentiary mail

Love the way these niggaz smell, keep comin' back, can't you tell?

Love to see my mama cry, love to see my babies struggle

Love to see my woman juggle nuts 'cause she got to hustle

I don't give a fuck how my life go

Now I'm a slave man to this caveman without Geico

Everybody wanna call Michael a psycho

But he ain't never came through the hood with a rifle

Gunnin' niggaz down 'cause they don't got the right clothes

Hit the wrong person 'cause we shoot just like hoes

First I was blood thirsty, Mr.-Mr. Controversy

Now I wanna beg for mercy, should have took my ass to Berkeley

[Chorus - X2]

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality

How the fuck we supposed to change our reality?

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality

How the fuck we supposed to change our reality?

[Ice Cube]

Fuck school nigga, if I grow a little taller

Everybody tell me I'm gon' do it, I'm gon' be a baller

So fuck that thinkin', fuck that thank and fuck them Lincoln's, I want Franklin's

Come back through here with my crew, I'm gon' have my own shoe

I'm gon' be that little fool comin' in your living room

Starting point guard nigga, fresh out of middle school

Either it's the NBA or it's the NFL

I don't know what else I can do to keep my ass up out of jail

I wanna be like Tiger Woods, swing that club, make you sick

(I wanna be like Pacman Jones), (I wanna be like Michael Vick)

I wanna be like Barry Bonds, (I wanna be like O.J. Simpson)

Leave this field, leave this prison, tell you motherfuckers where to kiss 'em

I wanna be all broke up, movin' all old and slow

I wanna be a alcoholic just like Broadway Joe

I wanna be a sideshow, kinda like Iron Mike

Used to have a few Bentleys, now I just ride a bike

[Chorus - X2]

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality

How the fuck we supposed to change our reality?

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality

How the fuck we supposed to change our reality?

[Ice Cube]

Fuck school nigga, they ain't tryin' to educate me

All they give a fuck is what I memorized lately

I'm gon' have to teach myself, clock that money, get that wealth

I wanna be like Santa Claus, I don't wanna be no fuckin' elf

No kid left behind but he get the run-around

Can't you motherfuckers see that they tryin' to dumb us down?

Don't trust the government, President is for sale

He don't give a fuck about a nigga, just a oil well

Sell crack, go to jail, bust a rap, go to hell

Do I got to sell my soul if I wanna go to Yale?

Go kiss Oprah's ass if you wanna be Gail

I'd rather have my ass kissed up in Bloomingdale

You can go be a pimp, you can go be a hoe

But you only gon' get paid off what you know

If you don't know shit, then you can't work for me

Cause you read your first book in the penitentiary

[Chorus - X2]

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality

How the fuck we supposed to change our reality?

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality

How the fuck we supposed to change our reality?
