Ice Cube It Takes A Nation Lyrics

It Takes A Nation Lyrics

There are seven known wonders of the world

You about to witness the eighth, muthafucka



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 sittin' next to your ass

And can't hear what you got to say



My shit is loud, my ears is ringin'

My paint job is wet, my chrome is gleamin'

I feel like a vet ballin' on these rookies

An old-school bully, you must have played hooky



I bring it like a bookie, my aggression is depressin'

Don't give a muthafucka time to learn his lesson

A lunatic, y'all know what I represent

The only rapper that 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, nigga's go brainless

So bang this with the four five stainless

And understand that you lookin' at the famous

West-coast rapper who act like a anus



Hollywood, they thought they could tame this

Pit-bull, but I know what the game is

Them fuckers cheat like an NBA ref

If you smoke one, they'll electrocute you to death



I got God on my intellect, Godzilla by the neck

When the nigga come through, who you wanna holler at?

Ghostwriters hit the deck, when ya boi got a tech

Where the fuck is Africa Bambaataa at?



We need to take it back, fuck Viacom

Clear Clear Channel and Radio One

You muthafuckas programmed by the programmers

That's why you gettin' locked up by the dope 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



They music so fluffy, I'm a stay gutter

That shit is kinda popcorn, my shit is so butter

My style never change in twenty two summers

Straight independent and doin' my numbers



This shit don't sell, you know I'm still paid

So sour-puss nigga's can drink lemonade

I'm doin' it for the love, you doin' 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 muthafucka's 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 whose it gonna be, your favorite MC?

You're 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
