[Intro]
(Maestro!!!) Blame me!
You n***as know my pyroclastic flow
You n***as know my pyroclastic flow flow
You n***as know my pyroclastic flow
It's R-A-W, R-A-W
[Verse 1]
You looking at the grand wizard
Warlord, vocal chord so vicious
And I don't have to show riches
To pull up, pull off, with some bad b**hes
And it ain't about chivalry
It's about dope lyrics and delivery
It's about my persona
Ain't nothin' like a man that can do what he wanna
Ain't nothin' like a man that you knew on the corner
See 'em come up and f** up the owner
See 'em throw up Westside California
n***a, I'm hot as Phoenix, Arizona
I'm Utah, I got multiple b**hes
It's a new law, keep a hold of your riches
Dumb n***a, don't spend it as soon as you get it
And recognize I'm a captain and you a lieutenant
[Hook 1]
I can say what I want to say
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I call you a n***a
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
I can act like an animal
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I eat you like a cannibal
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
[Verse 2]
I'm raw as a dirty needle
Choke an eagle, just to feed all my people
Lyrically I'm so lethal
Plant thoughts in they mind just to defeat you
Ice Cube is a saga
Y'all spit saliva, and I spit lava
I got the fearless flow
Don't get near this, ho, if you scared to go
I keep it gangsta, and why should I change that?
f** you old mothaf**as tryin' to change rap
But ain't you the same cat
That sat back when they brought c**aine back?
I'm tryin' to get me a Maybach
How you mothaf**as gonna tell me "Don't say that"?
You the ones that we learned it from
I heard n***a back in 1971
[Hook 2]
So if I act like a pimp
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I call you a nappy-headed ho
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I shoot up your college
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I rob you of knowledge
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
[Verse 3]
Thank God when I bless the mic
You finally get to hear the sh** that you like
A n***a talking 'bout real life
So you can try to get this sh** right
Use your brain, not your back
Use your brain, not a gat; it's a party, not a jack
Don't be scared of them people
Walk up in there and show them that you equal
And don't be material
A n***a grew up on milk and cereal
I never forgot Van Ness and imperial
Look at my life, Ice Cube is a miracle
It could be you if you was this lyrical
It could be her if she was this spiritual
‘Cause me and Allah go back like cronies
I ain't got to be fake, ‘cause he is my homie
[Hook 3]
If I sell a little crack
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I die in Iraq
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I take you for granted
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I f** up the planet
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
[Bridge]
You n***as know my pyroclastic flow
You n***as know my pyroclastic flow-flow
You n***as know my pyroclastic flow
It's R-A-W, R-A-W
[Outro]
Oh yeah, and another thing
For all y'all n***as that don't do gangsta rap
Don't get on TV talking about gangsta rap
‘Cause 9 times out of 10
You don't know the f** you talking 'bout
Talk about that bullsh** rap you do
Stay the f** out of mine
