Ice Cube - When Will They Shoot? lyrics

Album: Predator (1992)

God damn, another f*cking payback wit´ a twist
Them motherf*ckers shot but the punks missed
Ice cube is out-gunned, what is the outcome?
Will they do me like malcolm?
Cuz I bust styles, new styles, standing. . .
Strong. . . while, others run a hundred miles
But I never run, never will
Deal wit´ the devil wit´ my mother f*cking steel - boom!
Media try to do me
But I was a boy-n-the-hood before the movie, yea
Call me nigga, bigger than a spook
But you the one that voted for duke, motherf*cker
White man is smth I tried to study
But I got my hands bloody, yea.
They say I can sing like a jaybird
But nigga don´t say the j-word.
I thought they was bugging. . .
Cuz to us uncle sam is hitler without an oven
Burning our black skin
Buy my neighborhood - then push the crack in
Doing us wrong from the 1st day
And don´t understand why a nigga got an ak.
Calling me an african-american
Like everything´s fair again, shit
Devil you got to get the shit right I am black
Blacker than a trillion midnights
"don´t believe the hype" was said in 88 by the great chuck d
Now they are trying to f*ck me . . .
{wit´ no vaseline, just a match & a little bit of gasoline}
Its a great day for genocide
Thats the day all the niggas died
They killed jfk in ´63
So what the f*ck you think they will do to me?
But I am the o.g. & I bust back, boom boom
Bust back, boom boom,
Peel a cap, boom boom!
Gimme room in the fire of the sun
Hear the mack come
Hear the black come
Watch jack run
Motherf*ckers can´t gank me
F*ck a devil, f*ck a rebel, & a yankee
Overrun & put the presidency
After needin that, I am down wit´ o.p.p.
I met farrakhan & had dinner
And you ask if I am a five-percenter, well. . .
No, but I go where the brothas 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 bitchin´?

Verse two:

{gun shots}

You missed & didn´t hit the lench mob either
[guerillas in the mist] without jungle fever
But I got the fever for the flava of a cracker, not a pringle
Bust a single, here is my new jingle
The kkk has got three-piece suits
Using niggas like turkey shoots
My motto is "treat em like a prostitute."
If I say no violence devil, you will not respect mine,
F*ck the dumb shit & get my tek-9.
And if they approach us
A-ight, a-ight - I bury those cockroaches.
And if you can not deal wit´ my "kill at will"
Here is a new gift to get
Try my "death certificate".
Amerikkka´s most, amerikkka´s burnt - it is like toast
Like jordan I am going coast to coast.
Dribbling the funk
Here comes the nigga wit´ the mother f*cking monster dunk
Get off me punk
{you better eat your wheaties}
Darryl gates got the studio surrounded
Cuz he don´t like the niggas that I am down wit´
Mother f*cker want to do us
Cuz I like nat, huey, malcolm, & louis.
Most got done by a black man´s bullet
Give a trigga to a nigga & watch him pull it.
Negro assassin,
I ama dig a ditch, bitch, & throw your ass in
When they shoot, no, it wouldn´t be a cracker
They use somebody much blacker
What I do?
I call up the geto boy crew
Cuz my mind´s playing tricks on me too.
Never die, surround my crib
____________ makin´ sure nobody creep when I sleep
Keep a 9 millimeter in my jeep - peep!
When I roll, I gots to roll deep.
Aint going out cheap
Make the mad circle on cypress hill cuz it is so steep.
They will never get me
They will never hit me
Mother f*ck that shit j-dee.
Now I relax
Grab the st. ides brew so I can max.
Sitting on the window cuz it is so f*cking hot,
And then I heard a shot -
Boom.
