ice cube - before hip hop lyrics

[intro: ice cube & robert townsend]
you k!lled it my brother
my main man
i loved it, this dude, baby
i want revenge (yeah)
ah, i want revenge (yeah)
he was my only brother (yeah, sh+t)
he was like my main man
i loved it+i loved it, my brother

[chorus: ice cube]
before hip+hop, n+ggas got shot
before hip+hop, n+ggas smoked rocks
before hip+hop, my uncle had a drop
before hip+hop, homies stood on the block
before hip+hop, people smoked weed
before hip+hop, i’ll get you what you need
before hip+hop, pimping was gone
before hip+hop, b+tches was on

[verse 1: ice cube]
my style is hostile, your style is docile
i pull them glock’s out
forgot to box out
i grab the rebound
i claim to be down
the guppy, he drown
cause homies decline
my pr+nouns will throw rounds
heartbeats will slowed down (yeah)
where’s the showdown?
your hood is a ghost town
i’m a ghostbuster, hit you with the whole cl+ster
turn you into muster, general custer
chief blackfoot, kick a black rock
’cause somehow they responsible for crack rock
somehow they wanna blame it on hip+hop
before i could talk, they used to crip walk
they used to roll dice
they used to flash ice
f+ck with a chick, she’ll cut your ass twice
they used to pay the price
they used to go to jail
hip+hop ain’t the reason why we catching him
[chorus: ice cube]
before hip+hop, girls got knocked
before hip+hop, that p+ssy used to pop
before hip+hop, they was on molly
before hip+hop, n+ggas caught a body

[interlude: ice cube & robert townsend]
i loved it here (hm, sh+t)
and+and he was my only brother (yeah, right)
he was like my main man
i loved it+i loved it

[verse 2: ice cube]
they tell you and me it was lots of unity in the black community
that sh+t is lunacy
they tried to ruin me, got me for my jewelry
what they did to me, police got immunity
early 70s got him for his leather piece
khakis h+lla creased, it was lots of jealousy
boys’ bathroom was like a platoon
the girls’ bathroom was like a saloon
squabbles all year, september to june
n+ggas on weed, water and shrooms
n+ggas od’d, had gangs and goons
down the center coon (soon), straight to the moon
n+ggas would holler “give me a dollar, n+gga”
he wanted more than a dollar, didn’t take no scholar
yeah, motherf+ckers had the chevy impala
and they crashed out like, f+ck you, your honor (f+ck you, your honor)
it all happened before they start rapping
if they say i’m lying, motherf+ckers is capping
n+ggas be crying like they was the captain
but i don’t give a f+ck, hand that b+tch a napkin
[bridge: ice cube]
they mad at the mirror, but the mirror don’t lie
before hip+hop, it was a drive+by
before hip+hop, n+ggas used to die
before hip+hop, mamas used to cry
they mad at the mirror, but the mirror don’t lie
before hip+hop, it was a drive+by
before hip+hop, n+ggas used to die
before hip+hop, mamas used to cry

[chorus: ice cube & robert townsend]
(now+now+now listen)
before hip+hop (now+now listen)
before hip+hop (now+now+now listen) (yeah)
before hip+hop (now+now listen)

[bridge: ice cube & robert townsend]
they mad at the mirror, but the mirror don’t lie
before hip+hop, it was a drive+by
before hip+hop, n+ggas used to die
before hip+hop, mamas used to cry
(now+now listen)
