It Takes A Nation lyrics

[Ice Cube]

There are seven known wonders of the world

Yeah, hehe, you about to witness the 8th muh'fucker

I got King Kong in my trunk, King Kong in my doors

My nuts play ping-pong from the noise

You can hear me from a block away

I'm sittin next to yo' ass and can't hear, what you got to say

My shit is loud, my ears is ringin

My paint job is wet, my chrome is gleamin

I feel like a vet ballin on these rookies

An old school bully, you must have played hooky

I bring it like a bookie my aggression is depressin

Don't give a motherfucker time to learn his lesson!

A LUNATIC~! Y'all know what I represent

The only rapper who wanna fistfight the President!

[Hook: repeat 4X]

It take a nation of niggas to hold us back

[Ice Cube]

When I bang this is dangerous, niggas go brainless

So bang this with the fo'-five stainless

And understand that you lookin at the famous

West coast rapper, who act like a anus

Hollywood! They thought they could tame this

Pitbull, but I know what the game is

Them fuckers cheat like a NBA ref

If you smoke one they'll electrocute you to death

I got God on my intellect, Godzilla on my neck

When a nigga come through, who you wanna holla at

Ghostriders hit the deck, when your boy got a tec

Where the fuck is, Afrika, Bambaataa at?

We need to take it back, fuck Viacom

Clear Clear Channel, and Radio One

You motherfuckers programmed by the programmers

That's why you gettin locked up by the do' slammers

Not me!

[Hook]

[Ice Cube]

They music so fluffy, I'mma stay gutter

That shit is kind of popcorn, my shit is so butter

My style never change, in 22 summers

Straight independent, and doin my numbers

This ship don't sail, you know I'm still paid

So sourpuss niggas, can drink lemonade

I'm doin it for the love, you doin it because

You need that advancement to spend on them dubs

I don't need a penny, but I need many

Don't worry about my money boy cause I got plenty

You muh'fuckers worry about flossin so much

You don't know the fundamentals you forgot how to brush!

These 32 teeth, will give yo' ass grief

Bite you like a Fatburger if you got beef

So who's it gon' be? Your favorite MC

You scared of the government they scared of me

Now what?

[Hook] * except last line changed

* It take a nation of niggas and streets of crack {*echoes*}
