Testo It Takes A Nation - Ice Cube

Testo della canzone It Takes A Nation (Ice Cube), tratta dall'album Raw Footage

There are seven known wonders of the world
You about to witness the eighth, motherfucker
I got King Kong in my trunk, King Kong in my doors
My nuts play ping pong from the noise
You can hear me from a block away
I'm sitting next to your ass and can't hear what you got to say
My shit is loud, my ears is ringing
My paint job is wet, my chrome is gleaming
I feel like a vet balling on these rookies
A old school bully, you must've played hooky
I bring it like a bookie, my aggression is depressing
Don't give a motherfucker time to learn his lesson
A lunatic, y'all know what I represent
The only rapper wanna fist fight the president
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
When I bang this, it's dangerous, niggas go brainless
So bang this with the .45 stainless
And understand that you looking at the famous
West Coast rapper who act like an anus
Hollywood, they thought they can tame this
Pitbull, but I know what the game is
Them fuckers cheat like an NBA ref
If you smoke one now, electrocute you to death
I got God on my intellect, Godzilla by the neck
When a nigga come through, who you wanna holler at?
Ghost riders hit the deck when your boy got a TEC
Where the fuck is Africa? Damn, where the at?
We need to take it back, fuck Viacom
Clear Clear Channel and Radio One
You motherfuckers programmed by the programmers
That's why you getting locked up by the door slammers, not me
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
Their music so fluffy, I'ma stay gutter
That shit is kinda popcorn, my shit is so butter
My style never changed in twenty-two summers
Straight independent and doing my numbers
This shit don't sell, you know I'm still paid
So side puss niggas can drink lemonade
I'm doing it for the love, you doing it because
You need that advancement to spend on them dubs
I don't need a penny, but I need many
Don't worry 'bout my money, boy, 'cause I got plenty
You motherfuckers worry 'bout flossin' so much
You don't know the fundamentals, you forgot how to brush
These thirty-two teeth will give your ass grief
Bite you like a fat burger if you got beef
So who's it gon' be? Your favorite MC
You scared of the government, they scared of me, now what?
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a nation of niggas and streets of crack
So young, so angry, damn that rap music
