ICE CUBE lyrics : "When Will They Shoot?"

"Stalkin.. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J]
[repeat 2X]


[Ice Cube]
God damn, another $#&@in payback with a twist
Them mother$#&@ers shot but the punks missed

Ice Cube is out-gunned, what is the outcome?
Will they do me like Malcolm?
Cause I bust styles, new styles, standin - strong!

While, others +Run+ a +Hundred Miles+
But I never run, never will
Deal with the devil with my mother$#&@in steel - BOOM!

Media try to do me
But I was a Boy-N-the-Hood before the movie, yeah
Call me ^!$$%, bigger than a spook

But you the one that voted for Duke, mother$#&@er
White man, is somethin I tried to study
But I got my hands bloody, yeah

They said I could sing like a Jaybird
But ^!$$%, don't say the J-word
I thought they was buggin

cause to us Uncle Sam, is Hitler without an oven
Burnin our black skin
Buy my neighborhood - then push the crack in

Doin us wrong from the first day
And don't understand why a ^!$$% got an AK
Callin me an African-American

like everything is fair again, %#@!
Devil, you got to get the %#@! right I'm black
Blacker than a trillion midnights

+Don't Believe the Hype+ was said in '88
by the great Chuck D, now they're tryin to $#&@ me
".. with +No Vaseline+

Just a match and a little bit of gasoline.." - HUH!
It's a great day for genocide (What's that?)
That's the day all the ^!$$%z died

They killed JFK in '63
So what the $#&@ you think they'll do to me?
But I'm the O.G. and I bust back (boom boom)

Bust back (Boom boom!) peel a cap (BOOM BOOM!)
Gimme room in the fire of the sun
Here the mack come, here the black come, watch Jack run!

Mother$#&@ers can't gank me
$#&@ a devil, $#&@ a rebel, and a yankee
Overrun and put the Presidency

After needin that, I'm down wit O.P.P., yeah
I met Farrakhan and had dinner
And you ask if I'm a five-percenter, well...

No, but I go where the brothers go
Down with Compton Mosque, Number 54
Made a little dough, still got a sister on my elbow

Did Ice Cube sell out? You say, "Hell no!"
A black woman is my manager, not in the kitchen
So could you please stop (*##$in?


"Stalkin.. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J]
[Cube] Yeah, yeah..

"But when will they shoot?"
"Stalkin.. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J]
[Cube] Yeah, yeah..

"But when will they shoot?"
.. [automatic gunfire]



[Ice Cube]
You missed, and didn't hit Da Lench Mob either

"Guerillas in the Mist.." without Jungle Fever
But I got the fever for the flava of a cracker
Not a Pringle, bust the single, here's my new jingle

"Stalkin.. walkin in my big black boots"
The KKK has got three-piece suits
Using ^!$$%z like turkey shoots

My motto is +Treat 'Em Like a Prostitute+
Now if I say no violence, devil, you won't respect mine
$#&@ the dumb %#@! - and get my Tec-9

And if they approach us
A-ight, a-ight - I bury those @@#!roaches
And if you can't deal with my +Kill at Will+
Here's a new gift to get - try my +Death Certificate+
+Amerikkka's Most+, Amerikkka's burnt - it's like toast

Like Jordan, I'm goin coast to coast
Dribblin the funk here comes the ^!$$%
with the mother$#&@in monster dunk, get off me punk!
"Jordan.. watch Jordan,
aiyyo yo watch Jordan .. YES!"

"You better eat your Wheaties" [M.J.]

"Stalkin.. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J]
[Cube] Yeah, yeah..
"But when will they shoot?"

"Stalkin.. walkin in my big black boots" [Brother J]
[Cube] Yeah, yeah..
"But when will they shoot?"

[Ice Cube]

Darryl Gates got the studio surrounded
Cause he don't like the ^!$$%z that I'm down with
Mother$#&@er wanna do us
Cause I like Nat, Huey, Malcolm, and Louis
Most got done by a black man's bullet
Give a trigger to a ^!$$% and watch him pull it

Negro $$#ass-in
I'ma dig a ditch, (*##$, and throw yo' $$# in
When they shoot, no, it won't be a cracker
They use somebody much blacker
What I do? I called up the Geto Boy(s) crew
Cause +My Mind's Playing Tricks On Me+ too
Never died, surround my crib

and F.O.I. makin sure nobody creep when I sleep
Keep a 9 millimeter in my Jeep - PEEP!
When I roll, I gots to roll deep
Ain't goin out cheap
Met the MADD Circle on Cypress Hill cause it's so steep
They'll never get me, they'll never hit me
Mother$#&@ that %#@! J-Dee

Now I'm relaxed
Grab the St. Ide's brew so I can max
Sittin by the window cause it's so $#&@in hot
and then I heard a shot - boom.
