Ice Cube Hood Mentality Lyrics

Hood Mentality Lyrics

Fuck school, nigga, Imma be a dope dealer,

Imma be a killer, yup a urban
guerrilla,

Imma stack strilla, yeah, buy me a villa,

Sell a five-oh
to my auntie Pricilla,

I don't give a fuck that she look like thrilla,

Hit that shit, one more time and fuck around and kill her.

Cause I got
the heart of a pitch burgs killa,

Black nigga, draped in gold with a nine
milla,



Love money, love jail, love that penitentiary mail,

Love the way these niggas smell, keep comin back, can't you tell,

Love
to see my mama cry, love to see my babies struggle,

Love to see my woman
juggle nuts cause she got the hustle,



I don't give a fuck, how my
life go, 

Now Imma slave man to this cave man, without Geico

Everybody wanna a car, Michael a psycho

But he ain't never came through
the hood with a rifle,

Gunnin niggas down cause they don't got the right
clothes,

Hit the wrong person cause we shoot just like hoes,

First
I was blood thirsty, Mr. Mr. Controversy,

Now I wanna beg for mercy,
shoulda took my ass to first



If you don't wanna shake that hood
mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,

If you
don't wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change
our reality,

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the
fuck we suppose to change our reality,

If you don't wanna shake that hood
mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,



Fuck school, Nigga, if I grow a little taller,

Everybody tell me Imma
gonna do it, I'm gonna be a baller,

So fuck that thinkin, fuck that
thinkin, 

fuck them Lincolns, I want Franklins

Come back through
here with my crew, Imma gonna have my own shoe,

Imma gonna be that little
fool, coming in your living room, 

Startin' point guard, nigga, fresh
outta middle school,

Either is the NBA, or is the NFL,

I dunno what
else I can do, to keep my ass self outta jail,

I wanna be like Tiger
Woods, swing that club, make you sick,

I wanna be like Pacman Jones, I
wanna be like Michael Vick,

I wanna be like Barry Bonds, I wanna be like
OJ Simpson,

Leader's feel, leader's prison, tell you motherfuckers where
to kiss em,

I wanna be all broke'd up, moving all old and slow,

I
wanna be a alcoholic, just like Barway Joe,

I wanna be a side show, kinda
like Iron Mike,

Used to have a few Bentleys, now I just ride a bike,



If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the fuck we
suppose to change our reality,

If you don't wanna shake that hood
mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,

If you
don't wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change
our reality,

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the
fuck we suppose to change our reality,



Fuck school, nigga, they
ain't tryin to educate me,

All they give a fuck is what I memorize
lately,

Imma gonna hafta teach myself, 

Clock that money, get that
wealth,

I wanna be like Santa Claus,

I don't wanna be no fucking
elf,

No kid left behind, buddy get the run around,

Can't you
motherfuckers see that they tryin' to doom us down,

Don't trust the
government, president, is for sale,

He don't give a fuck about a nigga,
just a oil well,

Sell crack, go to jail, bust a rap, go to hell,

Do
I got to sell my soul, if I wanna go to Yale,

Go kiss Oprah's ass, if you
wanna be Gail,

I rather have my ass kissed, up in Bloomingdale,

You
can go, be a pimp, you can go, be a hoe,

But you only gonna get paid off,
what you know,

If you don't know shit, then you can't work for me,

Cause you read your first book, in a penitentiary,



If you don't
wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change our
reality,

If you don't wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the fuck
we suppose to change our reality,

If you don't wanna shake that hood
mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change our reality,

If you
don't wanna shake that hood mentality,

How the fuck we suppose to change
our reality,
