 [Ice Cube]
 Hahaha, today was a good day
 Know what?, sometimes I just get on my knees
 You know what I mean?
 And pray to the man with the master plan
 To swoop on down (swoop on down)
 On that mothership, scoop a nigga up...
 
 Lord have mercy, my people so thirsty
 Come feed 'em, either Jesus or Muhammad
 All we get is vomit, come like a comet
 Put it in my brain Lord, put it in my stomach
 Only you can run it, I'ma learn from it
 Do what I gotta do, try not to plummet
 America eats its youth like reptiles
 Don't worry bout tomorrow, let's get this right now
 They want to run us in the ground
 Educate yourself before they dumb you down
 Get your money boy, the legal way
 Beat 'em with they own bullshit if you may
 Now rich white men they got the world fucked up
 Why should I give a fuck about a styrofoam cup?
 Environmental scene, I'll keep it clean
 But if I go green, you know what I mean, bitch
 
 [Chorus]
 Take me away from these people
 Take me away from these people
 (Take me away)
 Take me away from these people
 Take me away from these people
 
 [Ice Cube]
 Ice Cube for President
 Let's just do it for the hell of it
 See how I'd run the government - make money irrelevant
 I might tell a chick, it's illegal to be celibate
 Secret Service don't know where the hell I went
 Sorry y'all, I had to fuck a Superdelegate
 Dream ticket, Ice Cube and Obama
 American dream, Ice Cube and yo' mama
 The Terminator, are you Sarakana?
 Arnold Schwarzenegger, can kill who he wanna?
 In California, they strap you to a gurney
 And murder yo' ass, in front of your attorney
 Do you really wanna take this journey?
 Ain't scared of none of y'all motherfuckers like Bernie
 Mac (step back) Step back, I got the Mac-11
 Unlike Obama, I'ma have to back my reverand
 
 [Chorus]
 Take me away from these people
 Take me away from these people
 (Take me away)
 Take me away from these people
 Take me away from these people
 
 [Ice Cube]
 Now the Lord is my shepherd, my flow is respected
 Worldwide, from the West I got to rep it
 So please check it, 'cause my style is infected
 with the virus, Ice Cube's the Osiris
 I bail through, they wanna put me up in Bellevue
 Cause my point of view is not red, white and blue
 It's black and blue residue
 I know what crack can do, to a whole fuckin' avenue
 Speak on it and they'll get mad at you
 You think I do this bullshit for your gratitude?
 I'm a Nigga With a Attitude
 I'ma do what I gotta do just to change my latitude
 Pimp the system, rollin' with my diamonds glistenin'
 And niggaz listenin', from your local prison
 I'm a prism, your only vision is a rainbow
 in the sky when I spit the ism, come on
 
 [Chorus]
 Take me away from these people
 (Take me away)
 Take me away from these people
 (Take me away)
 Take me away from these people
 (Take me away)
 Take me away from these people
