|
Hahaha, today was a good day
|
Know what?, sometimes I just get on my knees
|
You know what I mean?
|
And pray to the man with the master plan
|
To swoop on down (swoop on down)
|
On that mothership, scoop a nigga up...
|
|
Lord have mercy, my people so thirsty
|
Come feed 'em, either Jesus or Muhammad
|
All we get is vomit, come like a comet
|
Put it in my brain Lord, put it in my stomach
|
Only you can run it, I'ma learn from it
|
Do what I gotta do, try not to plummet
|
America eats its youth like reptiles
|
Don't worry bout tomorrow, let's get this right now
|
They want to run us in the ground
|
Educate yourself before they dumb you down
|
Get your money boy, the legal way
|
Beat 'em with they own bullshit if you may
|
Now rich white men they got the world fucked up
|
Why should I give a fuck about a styrofoam cup?
|
Environmental scene, I'll keep it clean
|
But if I go green, you know what I mean, bitch
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Take me away from these people
|
Take me away from these people
|
(Take me away)
|
Take me away from these people
|
Take me away from these people
|
|
[Ice Cube]
|
Ice Cube for President
|
Let's just do it for the hell of it
|
See how I'd run the government - make money irrelevant
|
I might tell a chick, it's illegal to be celibate
|
Secret Service don't know where the hell I went
|
Sorry y'all, I had to fuck a Superdelegate
|
Dream ticket, Ice Cube and Obama
|
American dream, Ice Cube and yo' mama
|
The Terminator, are you Sarakana?
|
Arnold Schwarzenegger, can kill who he wanna?
|
In California, they strap you to a gurney
|
And murder yo' ass, in front of your attorney
|
Do you really wanna take this journey?
|
Ain't scared of none of y'all motherfuckers like Bernie
|
Mac (step back) Step back, I got the Mac-11
|
Unlike Obama, I'ma have to back my reverand
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Take me away from these people
|
Take me away from these people
|
(Take me away)
|
Take me away from these people
|
Take me away from these people
|
|
[Ice Cube]
|
Now the Lord is my shepherd, my flow is respected
|
Worldwide, from the West I got to rep it
|
So please check it, 'cause my style is infected
|
with the virus, Ice Cube's the Osiris
|
I bail through, they wanna put me up in Bellevue
|
Cause my point of view is not red, white and blue
|
It's black and blue residue
|
I know what crack can do, to a whole fuckin' avenue
|
Speak on it and they'll get mad at you
|
You think I do this bullshit for your gratitude?
|
I'm a Nigga With a Attitude
|
I'ma do what I gotta do just to change my latitude
|
Pimp the system, rollin' with my diamonds glistenin'
|
And niggaz listenin', from your local prison
|
I'm a prism, your only vision is a rainbow
|
in the sky when I spit the ism, come on
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Take me away from these people
|
(Take me away)
|
Take me away from these people
|
(Take me away)
|
Take me away from these people
|
(Take me away)
|
Take me away from these people
|
