(feat. Mack 10)

"In the deep and dark bowels of the underworld,

order must be maintained.
Without a strict and unforgiving chain of command,
chaos is inevitable."


[Ice Cube]
Whassup youngsta?

Since you the new booty, and don't know nothin,
I got to show you bout the peckin order
It's the order in how we do things and move things

See, somebody gon' tell you what to do
after I tell that mother$#&@er what to do


It's the peckin order [echo]
It's the peckin order [echo]


We got the power to make you ^!$$%z sour
Big fish whale like Ichikowa, steppin out the shower
It's the peckin order, ask ya daugther how we peck

Inspect, high class $$# to projects
Push my Lex through the California rain, gutter lane
Infamous schemes on the brain

for my connect gang, put a strain on every link
in our chain, that's right - we all get arraigned
Takin sworn notes to makin c-notes

Knowin all the while that bull%#@! floats and ^!$$%z don't
So ^!$$% don't - gangsta paradise ain't nuttin nice
Yeah we livin so trife we need Je-sus in our life


[Chorus: Ice Cube, Mack 10]


[Cube]
It's the peckin order
[Mack]

It's the order how we do things
and move things, only $#&@ with the true things


[Ice Cube]
Havin heavy intercourse with the world of depression
Messin with the wrong (*##$es never learn our lesson

Stressin, no guessin, never question
Even when we playin, we testin, confession
Do you still wanna meet where the killers eat?

Held accountable for anythang you repeat
It's the peckin order, ask your daughter how we peck
When we smoke you, it's your best friend you suspect


[Chorus]


[Mack 10]
Now c'mon, come on potnah, c'mon (it's the peckin order)
$#&@ that, I don't wanna hear none of that %#@! man

All that cryin and beggin and %#@!
To be honest wit you that %#@! really don't even
affect me in no kind of way potnah

You wastin your mutha$#&@in time (it's the peckin order)
Let's get this %#@! goin, let's get it over with
C'mon back here, back here

I can't make no mother$#&@in mess right here
Check this out homie, make it easy on yourself
I know you want a mother$#&@in open casket

where your peoples can see you and kiss on you
but you gon' piss me off
and I'ma blow noodles out your mother$#&@in head

and ain't none of that happenin after that
So, c'mon back here, c'mon, right - c'mon, ay
But you know, one more thing before I do this [BLAM!!]
