[00:00.30]Ha ha, that's my shit
[00:04.14]Turn it up
[00:10.21]I hear a beat like this, and think about growin' up
[00:14.05]House parties, with gangbangers showin up
[00:16.82]Represent your hood, everybody throw it up
[00:19.32]They say Cube get on the mic, nigga blow it up
[00:22.35]I used to be lyrical, political
[00:25.05]But now you want it sugarcoated like cereal
[00:27.47]First I met Dre, then I met Yella (yessir)
[00:30.53]Dr.Dre made me rap acapella
[00:33.30]Me and Jinx did a show at Dudo's
[00:36.07]With K-Dee, I think it was two shows
[00:38.86]Then Dre introduced me to E
[00:41.23]Cruisin down the street in his red Jeep
[00:43.71]He said, yo niggas we should flip it like this
[00:46.65]Cause them Boyz-N-The-Hood like the gangsta shit
[00:49.20]I put the pen to the pad, young nigga was raw
[00:52.08]And told the world how we felt about the law
[00:54.66]It was real
[00:56.50]I see the happiness (all day every day)
[00:59.25]I see the pain
[01:02.13]Where am I (growin' up in the hood)
[01:04.82]Back down memory lane
[01:07.68]I see the happiness (all day every day)
[01:10.48]I see the pain
[01:13.30]Where am I (growin' up in the hood)
[01:15.87]Back down memory lane
[01:17.82]Oh shit, it's N.W.A!
[01:19.80]Them niggas on tour and they comin' our way
[01:22.60]Little Eminem is still tucked away
[01:25.33]In that trailer park, just bumpin our tape
[01:28.33]Jerry Heller tried to make his escape
[01:30.85]I had to bounce, while other niggas got raped
[01:34.00]Same niggas turned around and said fuck me
[01:36.65]No fuck you 'cause I'm down with Chuck D
[01:39.49]And I'm 'bout to do a movie up, a classic
[01:42.32]When I hit the screen, nigga it was magic
[01:45.01]Never thought I'd see Eazy in a casket
[01:47.78]Thanks for everythang, that's on everythang
[01:50.87]I learned a lot of game from you
[01:52.89]I like your son, he got his name from you
[01:55.52]I tell him everythang that he need to know
[01:58.16]If he ask my advice, I won't think twice homey
[02:02.80]I see the happiness (all day every day)
[02:05.38]I see the pain
[02:08.43]Where am I (growin' up in the hood)
[02:11.06]Back down memory lane
[02:13.97]I see the happiness (all day every day)
[02:16.61]I see the pain
[02:19.29]Where am I (growin' up in the hood)
[02:22.05]Back down memory lane
[02:23.31]From Boyz N the Hood, to xXx 2
[02:26.42]Everybody wanna know my next move
[02:28.91]Fans all around say "We love you Cube!"
[02:31.54]I wanna take time to say I love you too
[02:34.37]I love all my fans 'cause they know I'm a man
[02:37.11]And not a little boy or some fuckin' play toy
[02:39.80]A lot of niggas say I grew up on you
[02:42.03]And let me know if anybody fuck wit you
[02:45.08]Cause you talk a lot of shit about the red, black and blue
[02:47.97]And how they treat a nigga called Katrina, did you see her
[02:50.75]White folks worry 'bout them fuckin' misdemeanor
[02:53.44]While black people dyin' in that God damn arena
[02:56.28]Just because I'm actin' nigga never stop rappin'
[02:58.81]It's in my blood homey, I'ma keep the party crackin'
[03:01.70]Money keep stackin till they put me in a casket

[03:17.13]Back down memory lane
[03:20.18]I see the happiness (all day every day)
[03:22.82]I see the pain
[03:25.87]Where am I (growin' up in the hood)
[03:28.34]Back down memory lane
[03:31.04]I'm Ruthless, I'm Ruthless...
