Ice Cube — Why We Thugs/Smoke Some Weed Medley - Live

Why We Thugs [Intro: WC] Can my homeboy tell y'all where the fuck he from? (Ah yeah) Can my homeboy tell y'all where the fuck he from? Ayo Cube, let's get this party started, my nigga Won't you tell Perth where the fuck you from? [Verse 1: Ice Cube] I'm from the land of the gangbang Since I was little, ain't a goddamn thang changed It's the same ol' same Bush run shit like Saddam Hussein I cock and aim, clinically insane To deal with this bullshit day to day If I sell some yay or smoke some hay You bitches wanna throw me up in Pelican's Bay Call me an animal up in the system But who's the animal that built this prison? Who's the animal that invented lower living? The projects, thank God for Russell Simmons Thank God for Sugarhill I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grill Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids How these ghetto niggas taken over showbiz [Chorus: Ice Cube] They gives us guns and drugs Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs (You know) They wanna count the slugs Then come around here and fuck with us (You know) They gives us guns and drugs Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs (You know) They wanna count the slugs Then come around here and fuck with us [Verse 2: Ice Cube] It's boyz in the hood (What), it's toys in the hood (What) Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood 'Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood Nigga killed a Crip and a Blood in the hood (For real) 'Cause when niggas get tribal It's all about survival, it's nobody liable I got caught by five-oh Grandmama came to court with her Bible But when the judge hit the gavel Now I'm too far from my family to travel (Fuck) I just came unraveled Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled Owned by C.A, State Property Just like the year 1553 Looking for me, a one-way ticket out Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out? [Chorus: Ice Cube] They gives us guns and drugs Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs They wanna count the slugs Then come around here and fuck with us (You know) They gives us guns and drugs Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs (You know) They wanna count the slugs Then come around here and fuck with us [Interlude: WC] Yo, won't you break it down for Perth; break it down [Verse 3: Ice Cube] Damn, can't take the pressure Pulled the fo'-fo' up out the dresser Grabbed the weight up out the closet Po-po coming but I'm scared to toss it Y'all know what happened last time I lost it Can't tell you niggas what the fucking boss did The game got a nigga exhausted I gotta go for the plea bargain they offered Twenty years for what? Breaking these laws that's so corrupt Taking these halls and filling 'em up Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt Ay y'all, I'm about to be stuck Until the year two thousand, what the fuck? In the hood, don't press your luck 'Cause these motherfuckers will set you up, word up [Chorus: Ice Cube] They gives us guns and drugs Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs (You know) They wanna count the slugs Then come around here and fuck with us (You know) They gives us guns and drugs Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs (Yeah) They wanna count the slugs Then come around here and fuck with us [Outro: Ice Cube] Perth, every hood's the same Every hood's the same Yo Perth, every hood's the same Every hood's the same Even in Perth, every hood's the same Every hood's the same We love Perth, every hood's the same Every hood's the same Believe that shit [Interlude: Ice Cube & WC] Ah, they lookin' good out there tonight, Cube Ay Perth, you lookin' damn good to me tonight, shit Ah, they lookin' good tonight Now, it's lookin' good, but it ain't really smellin' good now, you know what I mean Here's why: I don't smell no muthafuckin' chronic in the air What the fuck is goin' on?
