Uh-huh, understand this
I don't give a [bad word] about what y'all talkin about
I ain't tryin to hear none of that [bad word] [bad word] I'ma do what I wanna do
When I wanna do it, how I wanna do it
And you better hope I don't do it to you
Now, I don't care what momma got to say
I don't care what grandmomma got to say [bad word] I'm grown
Let me tell you a lil' somethin about me

I was born not to give a [bad word]  wanna drink, get your cup
Turn it up, throw it up, take the world, blow it up
Somebody slow it up, roll it up, smoke it up
My own momma can't keep me from loc'n up
One ear out the other, one man out to smother
The neighborhood, that left me here without my brother [bad word] you undercovers and you dirty [bad word] In the hood, that still [bad word] [bad word] Club hop, bar hop, car shop, nail shop
To the mall, spend it all, why the [bad word] not
What bills, what rent, don't know what's spent
Why you care, do you work for the government?
 [bad word]  [bad word] it homey, I'ma laugh now and cry later
Get your paper we can laugh now and cry later
All you players you can laugh now and cry later
Investigators let you laugh now and cry later

[Ice Cube]
See I'm a product of this urban decay
[bad word] dyin for tomorrow, but live for today
[bad word] lie steal and borrow, and cheating's okay
Don't you tell these [bad word] that my name is O'Shea
Cause I'ma [bad word] up my baby's credit, let him regret it
7 months old he's already got a jail record
I'm the one to blame, put it in my momma name
She's a drama queen, but I got the bling bling
I need the watch and the bracelet and the earrings
I need you all to show up at my hearings
Tell the judge I'm a nice [bad word]  good [bad word] And I'ma play the sad face when he look [bad word]  [bad word] 

[Interlude: repeat 2X]
"The number you are calling was lost, and cannot be called back"
"Your last call return service"

[Ice Cube]
It's [bad word] up, that y'all won't accept my calls
Tell momma, at least she can send some drawers
These walls, make y'all forget about me [bad word] home, in 2033
But that's irrelevant, did you get the mail I sent
What I tell a [bad word]  you better stay celibate
She start lyin to me, tell me who she ain't [bad word] Never tell me that my homeboys ain't nothin
Bun in the oven, it belong to my cousin
Got the nerve, to tell me that you really love me
(What?) I'ma kill her [bad word] when a [bad word] make parole
Hit her with my cane, cause a [bad word] gray and old
 [bad word] 

[Outro: Ice Cube]
Man, it ain't right man
Y'know y'all ain't doin me right man
[bad word] tryin to do right man
Y'know I'm tryin to change my life man, y'know?
I done found the Lord while I'm in here, y'know?
I I'm tryin to do right now, I mean
Y'know I'm sorry for everythang
That I, I I mean y'know
That's [bad word] up how y'all doin me man
Y'all niggaz could at least send me somethin

"Alright, first four guys, let's go... lock it up"
