| [Chorus] To all my people goin through it on a daily basis
 And it seem like the world is full of cold places
 Keep yo' head up, fuck what they said cause
 you can do it and the man will get you through it
 I believe that, homey I believe that
 If I can picture that, I'll bring a picture back
 
 [Ice Cube]
 They say "Gangster, gangster! Tell me how you do it
 How you get through it and them other niggaz blew it"
 I keep my eye on the prize then pursue it
 Chase it like a cheetah chuck it out and subdue it
 So self-educate, nigga don't hate
 Cause the game I got, is Madden oh-eight
 Fuck with Cube, I'm better than YouTube
 Fuck with them dudes them niggaz is new school
 The game don't change just the players
 The rhymes don't change just the fuckin rhymesayers
 (Hahahaha!) They make it up as they go along
 But I'm goin on 25 years strong
 The shit I say might get you through the day
 Or change your whole life, in a major way
 The shit they say, might catch you a case
 The shit I say, feel like your birthday
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Ice Cube]
 You know what? Momma said it'd be days like this
 Straight hell on earth, but come up out the abyss
 She said "Don't let 'em see you crawl, don't let 'em see you fall
 All they wanna do is laugh when you tear your drawers"
 It's a cold world nigga bring a bomber jacket
 If it's another hustle out there I'ma crack it
 Fuck the new dance I'ma learn how to eat
 Get my mind right, stay up out these fuckin streets
 They keep callin me
 They keep callin, all the lil' homies keep fallin
 In them same traps niggaz cain't figure out
 In the fast lane boy but the bridge is out
 Make my blood boil, get yo' life spoiled
 Get you in the system, get you in the soil
 And your funeral was sponsored by Unocal
 Saw you UVN, nigga digital
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Ice Cube]
 I know, it's fucked up how they do us
 Pretend they really care, but then they Jerry Lewis
 Take that money that was allocated to us
 Put us in some fucked up trailers then sue us
 Watchin Katrina, is worser than Ike & Tina
 See New Orleans get bitchslapped by FEMA
 Louisiana got racist-ass politics
 Free the Jena Six (NIGGA FREE THE JENA SIX~!)
 Your honor, Osama, Obama
 Even, yo' momma, ain't fuckin with my comments
 They want us to quit, forget
 And not give a shit about these sick-ass politics
 A lunatic is in the White House
 Make me wanna go do a lick right now
 But they'll make a nigga bow down
 in the penitentiary, a billion dollar industry
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Ice Cube]
 I believe that, homey I believe that
 If I can picture that, I'll bring a picture back
