[Ice Cube]. Put the whoop on 'em (Ice Cube a.k.a. Don Mega). Put the whoop on 'em (a.k.a. Poppa Don). Put the whoop on 'em (a.k.a. the Big Fish). Put the whoop on 'em (a.k.a. Brainiac).

Keep it gangsta y'all Keep it gangsta (all my life). (verse one) {:21}. Everyting is real on this concrete and steel. Niggas peel your cap for a happy meal. I got to deal with this ball of confusion world of illusions. We ain't losin' playa (never) weez winnin'. Playin' every night when we sendin' paper chasing grinin'. While you still chasin' women 'round tables no lieutenants. Use your own man grown (hook it up). It's Ice Cube and the family stone. Breakin' bread every night in L.A.. And I pray for one more day that's unate (check it). It's 90 degrees no enemies in sight. Even the Don gotta fall to his knees every night. (chorus) {:52}. Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get). Without dealin' with these killers and these cowards (can I can can). I don't wanna loose all i wanna do is win. I fucked up today can I try it again?. (verse two) {1:03}. I'm lovin' every breath like a cold sip of soda. While I'm bankin' down these back streets thanks for lookin' over. Damn sure nice to know ya fuck a four leaf clover. And thanks for this range rover. We gets down with this underground gangsta shit. Politians and parents always havin' a fit. Everybody wanna know "who you with?" "where you from?". Why you lookin' at me dumb?. Here's a bullet cuz you number one. Nobody knows the fate of a platinum rap star (nobody knows). We gotta wait until tommorow. (yeah yeah). And I'm a nigga like you (yeah yeah). You know I got the bar. (chorus) {1:33}. Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get). Without dealin' with these killers and these cowards (can I can can). I don't wanna loose all i wanna do is win. I fucked up today can I try it again?. Put the whoop on 'em (look to allah). Put the whoop on 'em (pray to your god). Put the whoop on 'em (I look to allah). Put the whoop on 'em (pray to your god). (verse three) {1:54}. Mister prosperity these niggas wanna bury me. Your bitch wanna mary me. Rollin' more than a cherokee. Don't I drive what I want and what I ain't drivin' I don't want. Let it be known (let it be known). Permits hit the conk in the reagal. But weez legal niggas dollars got bald eagles nigga. You can't undermine Mister Grime. You rappin' 'bout the same shit i rapped about in '89. Tryin' to be the new fien(d) (never) with raps complex. They love you one minute and they hate you the next. Push my lex thru the california sunshine. Look back on my life and say "damn I done done fine". (damn) (I done done fine) (uhh). Mister Ice Cube i'm always on the grime. (always always). The Don Mega Mega Don Don Mega Mega Don. (chorus) {2:35}. Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get). Without dealin' with these killers and these cowards (can I can can). I don't wanna loose all i wanna do is win. I fucked up today can I try it again?. Keep it gangsta y'all Keep it gangsta (keep it gangsta). Keep it gangsta y'all Keep it gangsta (everybody). Keep it gangsta y'all Keep it gangsta (Keep it gangsta). Keep it gangsta y'all Keep it gangsta (all my life). (outro) {2:56}. I know we can make it I know that we can.
