[Intro - various dialogue]
|
Now that's how this shit go!
|
And I know you don't like me spittin in your motherfuckin face
|
But ain't a motherfuckin thing, you can do, about a nigga
|
Punk motherfucker!
|
|
Some people may say well, you overdramatized it
|
No we're not - it's not a drama workshop, it is a reality
|
Things like that do take place in prisons
|
The murders, the suicides, as well as the rapes
|
Do take place inside these human warehouses
|
|
[Ice Cube]
|
Nigga I'm a hustler, act like I'm lovin ya
|
Don't mind fuckin ya, just like the Governor
|
Used to be the dope man, rolled a hundred spokes man
|
When I come through, treat me like the Pope man
|
Ghetto spokesman, I know niggaz
|
in Eastside Oakland all the way to Brook-lyn
|
And they love my shitty drawers, what you smokin?
|
Think you got the balls, nigga I'm a Trojan
|
Catchin all that just like a prophylac'
|
Don't reproduce, that bullshit is whack
|
Flavor Flav with a white bitch that is whack
|
Got to put the nigga back in my Cadillac
|
Take him to the hood, where it's action packed
|
Let him know that the target's still on his back
|
It's a hustle called capitalism
|
Got my niggaz in prison, all stuck in the system yeah
|
Recognize who's a hustler, George Dubya
|
He's the one that's sittin back, fuckin ya
|
With a big dick stuck in ya
|
I'm from a place where the fuckin Terminator is the Governor
|
|
(I got a Public Pretender.. tryin to make me a winner)
|
(Nigga please don't surrender.. they'll have you for dinner)
|
|
[Chorus: Ice Cube]
|
The ghetto is a nigga trap, take the cheese
|
Soon as you do it here come the police
|
Invented and designed fo' us to fail
|
Where you gon' end up, dead or in jail
|
|
[Ice Cube]
|
You only got two places
|
State of California, got two faces
|
Motherfuckin devils, get straight racist
|
When they get you in them lonely dark places
|
Concrete slave ships, never move
|
Where niggaz like us get used like a mule
|
Don't let 'em catch you, arrest you
|
Strip and undress you, throw you in a cesspool
|
You wanna know the crime of the century
|
A ghetto elementary, a mental penitentiary
|
Black man, you never been friend of me
|
Boy you kin to me, why we enemies?
|
The ghe-tto is a trap
|
Fuck where you from, nigga look where you at
|
Where you wanna be? Point it out on a map
|
Don't be scared to leave homey, we can come back
|
If you wanna come back to this bullshit
|
Most of it comin straight out the pulpit
|
We got to change our ways in the hood
|
Understand that it's AIDS in the hood...
|
|
The nigga trap... [echoes for a bit]
|
|
[Chorus - 2X]
|
|
(I got a Public Pretender.. tryin to make me a winner)
|
(Nigga please don't surrender.. they'll have you for dinner)
|
[fades out]
