[Ice Cube]
Ha ha, that's my s***
Turn it up
Uh, yeah
I hear a beat like this, and think about growin' up
House parties, with gang-bangers showin' up
Represent your hood, everybody throw it up
They say Cube get on the mic, n**** blow it up
I used to lyrical, political
But now you want it sugarcoated like cereal
First I met Dre, then I met Yella (yes-sir)
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: x2]
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 everything, that's on everything
I learned a lot of game from you
I like your son, he got his name from you
I tell him everything 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 x** 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*** with'chu
Cause you talk a lot of s*** about the red, black and 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' till 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
Uh
[Chorus]
Ha ha, that's my s***
Turn it up
Uh, yeah
I hear a beat like this, and think about growin' up
House parties, with gang-bangers showin' up
Represent your hood, everybody throw it up
