Verse 2

damn,

The motherfuckers shot

but the punks missed

Ice Cube is outgunned, what

is the outcome?

Will they do me like Malcolm?

'Cause I bust styles, new styles

Standin' strong,

while others run a hundred miles

But I never run, never will

Deal with the devil with my motherfuckin' steel,

Media tried to do me

But I was a boy in the hood before the movie,

Call me nigga, bigot, and a spook

But you the one that voted for Duke,

motherfucker

White man is somethin' I tried to study

But I got my hands bloody, yeah

They said I could sing like a jaybird

But nigga, don't say the J-word

I I thought they was buggin'

'Cause to us,

Uncle Sam is Hitler without an oven

Burnin' our black skin

Buy my neighborhood,

then push the crack in

Doin' us wrong from the first day

And don't understand why

a nigga got an AK

Callin' me an African-American

Like Like everything is fair again, shit

Devil, you got to get the shit right

I'm black, blacker than a

trillion midnights

Motherfuckers can't gank me

Fuck a devil, fuck a rebel,

Overrun and punk the Presidency

If it means that I'm down with O.P.P., yeah!

I met Farrakhan and had dinner

Now you ask if I'm a Five Percenter? Well

No, but I go where the brothers go

Down with Compton Mosque, Number 54

Made a little dough,

still got a sister on my elbow

Did Ice Cube sell out? You say, "Hell no!"

A black woman is my manager,

not in the kitchen

So could you please stop
Verse 5

Guerrillas in tha Mist without jungle fever

But I got the fever for the flavor of a cracker,

not a Pringle

Bust the single,

here's my new jingle

"Stalkin',

walkin' in my big black boots"

The KKK has got three-piece suits

suits

Usin' niggas like turkey shoots

My motto is,

"Treat 'em like a prostitute!"

Now if I say no violence, devil,

you won't respect mine

Fuck the dumb shit and get my

And if they approach us

I, I I bury those cockroaches

And if you can't deal

with my Kill at Will

Here's a new gift to get,

try my Death Certificate

AmeriKKKa's Most,

America's burnt, it's like toast

Like Jordan,

I'm goin' coast to coast

Dribblin' the funk, here comes the nigga

Get off me, punk!

Verse 9

"But when will they shoot?"
Am

Daryl Gates got the studio

surrounded

'Cause he don't like the niggas

that I'm down with

Motherfucker wanna do us

'Cause I like Nat, Huey,

Malcolm, and Louis

Most got done by a black man's bullet

Give a trigger to a nigga and

watch him pull it

Negro assassin

I'ma dig a ditch, bitch,

and throw yo' ass in

When they shoot, no,

it won't be a cracker

They use somebody much blacker

What I do? I called up the

Geto Boy crew

'Cause my mind's playin' tricks on me,

too

Never died, surround my crib

And FOI makin' sure nobody

creep when I sleep

Keep a nine millimeter

in my Jeep (What?)

Peep when I roll, I gots to roll deep

Ain't goin' out cheap

Met the MADD Circle on Cypress

Hill 'cause it's so steep

They'll never get me,

they'll never hit me

Motherfuck that shit, J-Dee

Now Now I'm relaxed
Am

Grab the St. Ides brew so I can max

Sittin' by the window 'cause it's

so fuckin' hot

And then I heard a shot (boom!)

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
