(Ice Cube Talking)
Dear Mama If some people came by the house lookin for me
I'm innocent of anything they say I done
Now I don't know when I'll be able to write you again
But I will be back to California to see you
Your son Ice [bad word] Cube.

[Hook]
Keep my hand on my gun cos they got me on [bad word] 
I swear I didn't do what they say I done (x2)

[Verse 1]
Ghetto destroyer paranoia, I need a lawyer
This [bad word] named Netoia, say they lookin for ya
Got to get the [bad word] out of here (yeah right)
This [bad word] dimmed the lights  [bad word]  spend the night)
Bust a quick nut, got to [bad word] up and gat on
Cos this the same street I got shot on
So God bless Don Polla, double-s
I gotta holla cos I'm smokin on double breath
Freakin, niggaz be leakin, information
Got the feds seekin, incarceration
Niggaz say my name popped up
 [bad word] hop up
 [bad word] close the shop up
They try to stop em
My cash flow leave me [bad word] neck it
Gone in sixty seconds, burn all records
 [bad word] gettin skinny eating dinnies
Count my pennies, only got a bag fulla twenties

 [bad word] 
Listen, these feds fishin for this extradition
I'm on a mission, [bad word] em, fight em, dine em, ditch em
I gotta kick rocks, can't pick locks
Or spend the rest of my life in a [bad word] ?bath

[Verse 2]
It's so hard to get a room without a credit card
It's so hard not to let em know where you are
Tried to get a rent a car
But he laughed when I showed him cash
Had to mash 'fore he called the feds on my [bad word] 
Went to Vegas for the weekend
Met a hoe down freakin
Hey [bad word]  why you sneakin?
Grabbed the paper out her hand
I the man on the front page?  [bad word] 
Same height, same age (click-click)
Rap gauge, put it down the G-way
Got my hostage suckin sausage on the freeway
She say "Let's hear the circle K"
Ran inside and made the niggaz all pay
It's like I hit the Lotto outside Colorado
Brought it there for his wallet and my bottle
That's my motto and I gotta warn ya
Before I'm through, I'm going back to California

(Hook)
 [bad word] 

[Verse 3]
My boys you're taught at Illonois
Set the poise, so I can infiltrate
All fifty states
Can't wait till I'm back on my feet
Switch and shake this [bad word] in her sleep
Low key you feds can't see me
I'm up in D.C. with strike number three
Clownin, made a little stock to get a little [bad word] 
Now I got niggaz bangin and lootin rock
I'm going back to Cali where it's bound with my strikes
Don't give a [bad word] who's on the ?marin or the mic
I should've known when I seen that [bad word] in the lobby
Looking like he wanna rob me  [bad word] 
Federal, don't like no black hetero, ual, intellectual
Tried to turn me into a vegetable
An I'm 'a sue all black and blue
When [bad word] to- hand cuff  [bad word] y'all)
Big grey bus, scandalous
Cos they can't stand us
They get excited and I try to fight it (mama)
I'm going back to Cali to show, extradited

(Hook)
 [bad word] 

(Ice Cube talking)
Hey mama, when y'all send pictures you can't send a polaroid
Got to be the regular pictures
An' they got us in here puttin' [bad word] chips or something
I don't know. Like they playin with us, it's like a game
It ain't nuttin' but a game to them mama
It's my life
