[King Tee:]
Get a taste of the heat while I burn down the streets
Time to recognize who wore the white sheets

Gafflin me up and I'm fightin cause they got me
Known as a King knowin what they did to Rodney
I know you know the deal, it's open season on my race

I'm black and I'm proud to be lootin in your face
But yet I'm real smart, cause see, it's a plan
To lock up and shut down the black man


[Yo-Yo:]
Yeah, you can play that role like you ain't with it if you wanna

But it's on to the break of dawn
I said it's just 'a few good men' when we were fightin
I guess it'll be more good men now we're united

Now all of a sudden they wanna bring in troops
^!$$%s in my hood been gettin loose and buckin fools
But now we're gettin wiser, you can tell by the fires

That they're fed up, the war is on us

[MC Eiht:]

What happened to the drive-by killings?
Ain't nothin poppin no more cause brothers now chillin
From every hood to block to corner to street

Not black-on-black, the other color gets beat
Mh, I guess it's time for brothers to turn the page and
Let out some rage and bang a Caucasian

Geah, MC Eiht got the pale face runnnin scared
Gang of blue, $#&@ the white, I'm down with the red


[B-Real:]
Doin dirt, at the time I thought it couldn't hurt
So I became a jackin expert

Lootin, scootin uptown cause they're shootin up a clown
That $#&@in pig in the blue suit
That pig, sow, buster-ass copper

Pointin my bazooka at your pork chopper
You passed me a lump just a month back
That's why I got my hand on the pump, jack


[Hook: x2]
You can get with that, or you can get with this

You can get the boot, or you can get the fist

[J-Dee:]

Heary heary, y'all come kick it, man
I never thought I'd see a thousand Crips in the Nickerson
Gardens, pardon my manners

I saw the Bloods and Crips wavin big black banners
Bandanas tied, straps on their side
Cause in the projects it was a lotta black pride

And I remember the time I couldn't answer my pager
Cause if you were slippin your enemy come and gauge ya


[KAM:]
It's the KAM and Watts Up, damn, this is like a dream
It feels good, cause every hood is on the same team

Archrivals got the five-o's kinda nervous
They layin in the cut but I know they wanna serve us
And I'm certain it's hurtin Daryl Gates

He rather have a brother pressin California license plates
While the media gets greedier for ratings
It's 12 o'clock at night but I'm rollin gold Daytons

And it's cool cause ain't nobody trip but the cops
Deep jeep bass comin from the rag top


[Threat:]
It took more than a letter to pull us black together
But that goes to show you, never say never

I seen the tape, I didn't have to see it twice
Never seen nothin like it in my life, 12 blind mice
Is this the end, where we begin

Makin friends with Mister Chen?
From the dirt to the streets to the avenues
Way, way deep, deep in the Zoo


[Ice Cube:]
Would you believe
Not guilty, the filthy devils tried to kill me
When the news get to the hood the ^!$$%s will be

Hotter than cayenne pepper, cuss, bust
Kickin up dust is a must
I can't trust a cracker in a blue uniform
Stick a ^!$$% like a unicorn
Born wicked, Laurence Powell, foul

Cut his damn throat and I smile

[Hook: x2]
You can get with that, or you can get with this
You can get the boot, or you can get the fist
