Ice Cube - Thank God lyrics

[Intro] I do gangsta rap. They wanna blame the world problems on gangsta rap. It's our fault cause motherf**ers is dying in Iraq. It's our fault cause motherf**ers is starving in Africa. It's gangsta rap fault that people are poor, can't get enough to f**ing eat or live their life. That's rap music fault. It's rap music fault that we got all these goddamn laws and restrictions and sh** we can't do. They blame it all on us. I'm blamin' them motherf**ers for gangsta rap. Because if they didn't create these kind of conditions, I wouldn't have sh** to rap about. You know what I mean?
