Ice Cube — Ghetto Bird Dr. Jams Mix

[Verse 1] Why oh why must you swoop through the hood Like everybody from the hood is up to no good? You think all the girls around here are trickin' Up there lookin' like Superchicken At night I see your light through my bedroom window But I ain't got shit but the pad and pencil I can't wait 'til I hear you say "I'm going down, mayday, mayday." I'm gonna clown 'Cause every time that the pigs have got me Y'all rub it in with the flying Nazi Military force, but we don't want ya Standin' on my roof with the rocket launcher "So fly like an eagle" But don't follow us wherever we go The shit that I'm saying, make sure it's heard Motherfuck you and your punk-ass ghetto bird [Chorus] "Run, run, run, from the ghetto bird" "Run, run, run, from the ghetto bird" [Verse 2] Now, my homies hit a lick on a trick for a Rolex And let me drive the '4 next Now the '4 I was driving is hotter than July Looked up and didn't see a ribbon in the sky Saw a chopper with numbers on the bottom "Calling all cars, I think we've got em." I hit the gas and I mashed past Inglewood I think I drove through every single hood South Central, Compton, and Watts Long Beach, bust a U, here come the cops Wish I had a genie with about three wishes Metal flake green on D's, I look suspicious You know that I'm running Shit, I hear it humming Fuck, I see it coming Is it a bird? Yep Is it a plane? No I hit me a right on El Segundo Wanted to holla, had to ditch the Impala Let's see if they would follow Me, hit a fence, hit a fence, and another Met me a baby pitbull and his mother Ran up in some people's house and looked out of the window I wish it was my kinfolk Had to pull a strap on a fool named Louis the Third 'Cause I'm getting chased by the ghetto bird [Bridge] "Just put his hat, uh He combed his hair and then put his hat back on So, he's acting nonchalant up there in that cockpit, going 115 miles an hour." A nigga's getting chased by the ghetto bird "With the police chasing him They're not gonna be real happy when they catch up with him, no matter what the speed would be They hate, they hate a big mouth even worse." [Verse 3] Officer Bird's on his way and I don't wanna see him Could you please give me the keys to the B.M.? See, I didn't wanna gank you But don't make me bank you, thank you Tried to get to the hood, and you might guess That a fool like me done shot Cyrus Incognito, Ghetto Eagle Saying, "Fuck, where did he go?" I bust me a left on Ruth Ellen Park the 7-35 and I'm bailin' Went to my homegirl's house and got a hug, man She helped me run like Harriet Tubman Looked out the window by the black bed I saw the pigs and the '4 on a flatbed Then the light from the bird hit me in the face I closed the blinds cause I didn't wanna catch a case All that night, I heard the bird circle While I was eating fish and watching Urkel She said I could sleep on the couch By 2 A.M. I was digging her out Fuck the ghetto bird [Outro] Motherfuck you and your punk-ass ghetto bird Motherfuck you and your punk-ass ghetto bird
