Ice Cube]
Ha ha, that's my s***
Turn it up [echoes]
Uhh, yeah
I hear a beat like this, and think about growin up
House parties, with g*******ers showin up
Represent your hood, everybody throw it up
They say Cube get on the mic, n**** blow it up
I used to be lyrical, political
But now you want it sugarcoated like cereal
First I met Dre, then I met Yella (yessir)
Dr. Dre made me rap acapella
Me and Jinx did a show at Dudo's {?}
With K-Dee, I think it was two shows
Then Dre introduced me to E
Cruisin down the street in his red Jeep
He said, yo n***** we should flip it like this
Cause them _Boyz N the Hood_ like the gangsta s***
I put the pen to the pad, young n**** was raw
And told the world how we felt about the law
It was real
[Chorus 2X: samples + (Cube)]
I see the happiness (all day every day)
I see the pain
Where am I (growin up in the hood)
Back down memory lane
[Ice Cube]
Oh s***, it's N.W.A.!
Them n***** on tour and they comin our way
Lil' Eminem is still tucked away
In that trailer park, just b**pin our tape
Jerry Heller tried to make his escape
I had to bounce, while other n***** got raped
Same n***** turned around and said f*** me
No f*** YOU cause I'm down with Chuck D
And I'm 'bout to do a movie up, a classic
When I hit the screen, n**** it was magic
Never thought I'd see Eazy in a casket
Thanks for everythang, that's on everythang
I learned a lot of game from you
I like your son, he got his name from you
I tell him everythang that he need to know
If he ask my advice, I won't think twice homey
[Chorus]
[Ice Cube]
From _Boyz N the Hood_, to _XXX 2_
Everybody wanna know my next move
Fans all around say "We love you Cube!"
I wanna take time to say I love you too
I love all my fans cause they know I'm a man
And not a little boy or some f***** play toy
A lot of n***** say I grew up on you
And let me know if anybody f*** wit'chu
Cause you talk a lot of s*** about the red, black & blue
And how they treat a n**** called Katrina, did you see her
White folks worry 'bout them f***** misdemeanor
While black people dyin in that God d*** arena
Just because I'm actin n**** never stop rappin
It's in my blood homey, I'ma keep the party crackin
Money keep stackin 'til they put me in a casket
Who you think you f***** wit? Here's another classic
[Chorus]
[Ice Cube]
I'm Ruthless, I'm Ruthless..
Street Knowledge..
Lench Mob..
Westside..
Uhh..
[Chorus - 1/2]
Ha ha, that's my s***
Turn it up [echoes]
Uhh, yeah
I hear a beat like this, and think about growin up
House parties, with g*******ers showin up
Represent your hood, everybody throw it up
