[helicopter flying overhead]

"Outside the South Central area, few cared about the violence

because - it didn't affect them." - Tom Brokaw

"Break 'em off somethin" - [Ice Cube]
 [bad word] 

"Back to the criminal set... but they can't catch me yet" - Ice Cube

Don't trip you might break your neck {"break 'em off somethin"}

And get wet from the reign of the tec, I {"break 'em off somethin"}

"Back to the criminal set... but they can't catch me yet" - Ice Cube

Your gum bumpin gon' lead to gun bumpin {"break 'em off somethin"}

I'm the one when the party is jumpin to {"break 'em off somethin"}

[Xzibit]

I heard the O.G.'s they don't hit

And I'm the only one left from the West that you can't [bad word] with

But lately I've been feelin like Will Smith

Why bother with rap when I can get 20 mill' on a flick?

Y'all niggaz just started some [bad word]  the underdog

Makin songs for them hogs, and them Bloods and Crips

For the shah by the mall with a Muslim scent

After all, who do you call to rock your [bad word]  {"break 'em off somethin"}

Bust the ghetto bird, circle above, reminisce

of the dust kicked up, the dirt swept under [bad word] 
Duct tape, ski-mask, tape recorders

Cue Kaze, ready to blaze and bakin soda

First learned how to cook in a coffee pot

Made the block get hot like lava rock

Got love for the block cause I came from that

But I ain't afraid to go right back {"break 'em off somethin"}
 [bad word] 

[Xzibit]

It's a, suicide it's a suicide

If you ever get the heart to try [bad word] with mines

No change, I'm poppin the nine, you ridin the pine {"break 'em off somethin"}

The heavy metal knock you out of your mind {"break 'em off somethin"}

Now how many really gon' ride, when the war start?

Eaten alive by these hollow-tip darts

My 12 gauge'll tear you apart, don't get caught at the light

the house party or the neighborhood park

Mr. X marks the spot then pops the mark

Turn your whole neighborhood to a parkin lot

I paid the cost to be the boss

and will do my time standin up 'til I get an appeal

These weapons too real to conceal, so why bother

Semper fidelis, I learned from my father

I always stay faithful to myself and grow

But when I catch that [bad word] after the show - {"break 'em off somethin"}
 [bad word] 

[Xzibit]

I'm slick and slippery

On a high-speed chase all the way to the victory

Y'all niggaz is stone cold mysteries

Too weak, can't stand in the ring with me

Put a [bad word] back in his place, straightlaced

With a Strong Arm Steady gang up in your face
 [bad word] a race with the West to my back

While you're the reason why they say niggaz in the West can't rap

Ever since the white Concourse 'Llac, I've been unmatched

avalanche in the hood on attack

Just hardcore actual facts, never wait

Just react when them [bad word] at you with gats

Had to dig the knife out of my back, now I'm back on track

Hittin laps, 'bout to widen the gap yo

It ain't the long fall from the top that got 'em

It was the sharp sudden stop at the bottom, haha {"break 'em off somethin"}
