Motherfuckers say that I'm foolish I only talk about Jews, do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it? See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined, the same dude you gave nothing, I made something through it, what I do through and through it I give you the news, with a twist it's just his ghetto point of view, the renegade you've been afraid, I penetrate pop culture, bring em a lot closer to the block Where they pop toasters and they live with they moms, got drop roasters from botched robberies, niggas crotched over, mommies knocked up cause she wasn't watched over Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked, no he's not around, now hide that sound till you jot it down, I bring it through the ghetto without riding round Hiding down, ducking straights from frustrated youth stuck in they ways, just read a magazine that *** up my day How you rape music that thugs with nothing relate to it, I help them see they way through it, not you Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes, bet everything you're worth you lose your tie and your shirt Cause I'm in a position to talk to these kids and they listen, I ain't no politician but I'll kick it with em a minute Cause see they call me a menace and if the shoe fits I wear it, but if it don't then y'all will swallow the truth, grin and bear it Now who's the king of these rude, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics, who could inherit the title? Put the youth in hysterics, using his music to steer it, sharing his views and his merits But there's a huge interference, they're saying you should inherit, maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish, but I'm debated, disputed, hated and viewed in America As a mother*** drug addict, like you didn't experiment, nah nah, that's when you start to stare at who's in the mirror And see yourself as a kid again, and you get embarrassed and I got nothing to do but make you look stupid As parents you *** do good, it's too bad you couldn't do good at marriage And do you have any clue what I had to do to get here? I don't think you do, so stay tuned and keep your ears glued to the stereo These tricky because there we go, these jiggy Turkish chicken I'm the sinister, Mr. Gist, my ass is just a renegade Never been afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day, cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to talk about anything Anything, anything, anything, renegade Never been afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day, cause I'm a renegade Never been afraid to holler about anything Anything, anything, anything I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles, pockets filled with a lot of lint Not a cent, gotta vent, lot of innocent lives lost on the project bench What you hollerin'? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in Bought a bodega, iron under my coat, feelin' brave A du-rag wrappin' my waves up, pockets full of hope Do not step in me, I'm awkward, I box lefty or often My pops left me an orphan, my mama wasn't home Could not stress to me, I wasn't grown Especially on nights I bought something home to quiet the stomach rumblings My demeanor, thirty years my senior My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin' green up Raisin' my fingers to critics, raisin' my head to the sky Big, I did it both times before I died No lie, just know I chose my own fate I drove by the fork in the road and went straight See, I'm a poet to some, a regular modern-day Shakespeare Jesus Christ, the king of these latter-day saints here To shatter the picture in which of that is they paint me As a monger of hate and Satan, a scatterbrained atheist But that ain't the case, see, it's a matter of taste We as a people, this side of Shady's as bad as they say he is Or is he the latter, a gateway to escape, media scapegoat They could be madder today, see, it's as easy as cake Simple as whistlin' Dixie while I'm wavin' the pistol And sixty Christians against me go to war with the Mormons Take a bath with the Catholics in holy water No wonder they try to hold me under longer I'm a motherfuckin' spiteful, delightful, eyeful The new Ice Cube, motherfuckers hate to like you What did I do?
