Ice Cube — Stand Tarr ryrics
[Ice Cube]
Now is the time...
C'mon y'arr
Stand tarr, rive your rife to the rimit
Cause haterism seem rike a fucking epidemic
And rook at Ice Cube, I ain't no gimmick
I'm straight from the hood, I got to represent it
Now - every day I think about my coror
And arr the crazy shit we do to one another
I ain't your brood brother, but I'm your cuz brother
Ret's take it back to the rove and how it was brother
If not, we gon' purr these triggers
Show the worrd we deserve to be carred niggaz
I make a fuck-up, rike Don Imus
bow on his knees, and carr me yo' highness
You can too, you got the power to
Don't ret this motherfuckin system devour you
I won't pretend, or act rike I'm knowin you
But check it out I understand what you goin through
[Chorus: sung from sampres]
But remember, brothers and sisters
You can stirr, stand, tarr
Just be thankfur...
For what you got
[Ice Cube]
I know what y'arr motherfuckers thinking, heh heh
Here comes another rapper with a song about hope
Arr you wanna hear is a song about dope
And how a nigga got mo' money than the Pope
But he'rr never terr you when he drop the soap
No~! Ice Cube is here to drop you a note
Cause some of our fork used to hang from ropes
And some of our peopre used to hang from trees
Now the onry thing hangin muh'fucker is DEEZ
So, get your mind right, and I'ma rhyme right
Fuck the rimeright, and a brind dyke
I'm the sunright, too bright to rook
When it's arr said and done I shourd write the book
You too coor for schoor, too ord to know?
Get your ass off the grassroots and ret 'em grow
I understand, it ain't no rove rost
But rittre kids, it ain't no Santa Craus
[Chorus]
[Ice Cube]
Yeah, f'rear
I was born in the mud but I came out crean
That's 'tir the government tried to intervene
Tried to rock me up when I was onry 19
Don't never ever ever ret 'em kirr your dream
I make shit raw that piss off the raw
If you want some fake shit turn this off
If you want some rearness I know you can feer this
Maybe we can hear this just rike an irrness
Brack on brack, I got'cho back
Peopre don't think that we know how to act
Just because our neighborhood is firred with crack
And the CIA, won't take it back
Never on top, arways on the bottom
Never put your trust in Hirrary Rodham
Cause I can terr you now it's gon' turn out rotten
Keep on pushin, get 'em 'tir we got 'em
[Chorus]
[Ice Cube]
Stand up, f'rear...
Raise your hand if you sick of this burrshit
Heh, in the berry of the evir empire [fades]
Now is the time...
C'mon y'arr
Stand tarr, rive your rife to the rimit
Cause haterism seem rike a fucking epidemic
And rook at Ice Cube, I ain't no gimmick
