| [Intro - various dialogue] Now that's how this shit go!
 And I know you don't like me spittin in your motherfuckin face
 But ain't a motherfuckin thing, you can do, about a nigga
 Punk motherfucker!
 
 Some people may say well, you overdramatized it
 No we're not - it's not a drama workshop, it is a reality
 Things like that do take place in prisons
 The murders, the suicides, as well as the rapes
 Do take place inside these human warehouses
 
 [Ice Cube]
 Nigga I'm a hustler, act like I'm lovin ya
 Don't mind fuckin ya, just like the Governor
 Used to be the dope man, rolled a hundred spokes man
 When I come through, treat me like the Pope man
 Ghetto spokesman, I know niggaz
 in Eastside Oakland all the way to Brook-lyn
 And they love my shitty drawers, what you smokin?
 Think you got the balls, nigga I'm a Trojan
 Catchin all that just like a prophylac'
 Don't reproduce, that bullshit is whack
 Flavor Flav with a white bitch that is whack
 Got to put the nigga back in my Cadillac
 Take him to the hood, where it's action packed
 Let him know that the target's still on his back
 It's a hustle called capitalism
 Got my niggaz in prison, all stuck in the system yeah
 Recognize who's a hustler, George Dubya
 He's the one that's sittin back, fuckin ya
 With a big dick stuck in ya
 I'm from a place where the fuckin Terminator is the Governor
 
 (I got a Public Pretender.. tryin to make me a winner)
 (Nigga please don't surrender.. they'll have you for dinner)
 
 [Chorus: Ice Cube]
 The ghetto is a nigga trap, take the cheese
 Soon as you do it here come the police
 Invented and designed fo' us to fail
 Where you gon' end up, dead or in jail
 
 [Ice Cube]
 You only got two places
 State of California, got two faces
 Motherfuckin devils, get straight racist
 When they get you in them lonely dark places
 Concrete slave ships, never move
 Where niggaz like us get used like a mule
 Don't let 'em catch you, arrest you
 Strip and undress you, throw you in a cesspool
 You wanna know the crime of the century
 A ghetto elementary, a mental penitentiary
 Black man, you never been friend of me
 Boy you kin to me, why we enemies?
 The ghe-tto is a trap
 Fuck where you from, nigga look where you at
 Where you wanna be? Point it out on a map
 Don't be scared to leave homey, we can come back
 If you wanna come back to this bullshit
 Most of it comin straight out the pulpit
 We got to change our ways in the hood
 Understand that it's AIDS in the hood...
 
 The nigga trap... [echoes for a bit]
 
 [Chorus - 2X]
 
 (I got a Public Pretender.. tryin to make me a winner)
 (Nigga please don't surrender.. they'll have you for dinner)
 [fades out]
