Young Nigga

Y'all ready to do this shit? Bust em [ VERSE 1 ] When I was young I had the lust to pull the trigger And make change out a 5-dollar-ass nigga And as time went on, I gained much love But seein niggas' guts bust at a nightclub Too young to get my ass in, but they didn't trip Cause if I didn't get in, they knew I'd start shit So I was treated like the muthafuckin pope Security see me, so they scope And follow me around like a flock of hoes I had a squab with a bitch with a big-ass nose I started to knock the bitch out, but before I could I'm stopped short by a redneck peckerwood But he was slow, with the other hand slapped the ho Then security rushed us out the backdo' So when I grabbed the nine, they thought I'd go nuts I'd roll by and bust caps at the grown-up's Young nigga got bold and off the liquor As a young nigga (He said, "Young-ass nigga!") (You dumb nigga, you) --] Ice Cube [ VERSE 2 ] Well, what do you know, it's summer time And every young nigga my age is on the grind Workin for the city A drugstore on evey goddamn corner, and niggas actin shitty About who sell where and whose dope is it So some niggas around the block, they paid us a visit But we ain't comin off shit but a drive-by I guess they wanna expand to go city-wide So we hung muthafuckas by the barbed wire Whoever was a snitch or bitch or liar And five-o is gettin kinda dense Cause the wire was missin from a county jail fence Breakin off boulders And the niggas from around the block they said they told us Not to short-stop, so my nigga got popped I looked down, and I'm shocked To see him layin dead by the bushes As a young nigga [ VERSE 3 ] Shit is gettin hectic, my mission had to flow smooth We hit the corner in a '65 old school Bustin at niggas twice my age Muthafuckas catchin heat from my guage They tried to shoot back, but it ain't like that Cause I'm the nigga with the biggest gat Hoes get fucked and eat the bullet Cause the trigger that got my nigga, one of them had to pull it My nigga with the nine said, "Forget it" But I seen a nigga point his finger and say, "He did it" I loaded up the clip and shot him in the dick And kept on bustin till his leg kicked Now we Audi 5000, gee The glasspacks on the '65 got noisy We had to smash Cause five-o was right behind our ass We had to get away, we dumped the A.K And the guage in the bushes on the way The cops kept bustin, niggas kept cussin About which way to go fussin We hit the corner, and they bust At some niggas lookin just like us We knew it was about that time Hopped out my homeboy's shit, and into mine We got away, because they couldn't figure Which one of the boys was that young nigga
