Ice Cube
- It takes a nation lyrics

[INTRO]
There are seven known wonders of the world
You about to witness the eighth, muthaf***ka.

[VERSE 1]
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 a*s
And can't hear what you got to say
My s***t 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 muthaf***ka time to learn his lesson
A lunatic, y'all know what I represent
The only rapper that wanna fist fight the president.

[CHORUS]
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.

[VERSE 2]
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 a**s
Hollywood, they thought they could tame this
Pit-bull, but I know what the game is
Them f***s 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 f***k is Africa Bambaataa at?

We need to take it back, f***k Viacom
Clear Clear Channel and Radio One
You muthaf***kas programmed by the programmers
That's why you gettin' locked up by the dope slammers
Not me.

[CHORUS]
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.

[VERSE 3]
They music so fluffy, I'm a stay gutter
That s***t is kinda popcorn, my s***t is so butter
My style never change in twenty two summers
Straight independent and doin' my numbers
This s***t 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 muthaf***ka's worry 'bout flossin' so much
You don't know the fundamentals
You forgot how to brush
These thirty two teeth will give your a*s 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?.

[CHORUS]
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
