Growin’ Up Ice Cube

[Intro]
Ha ha
That's my shit
Turn it up {*echoes*}
Uhh
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I hear a beat like this, and think about growin' up
House parties, with gangbangers showin' up
Represent your hood, everybody throw it up
They say "Cube, get on the mic, nigga, blow it up"
I used to be lyrical, political
But now you want it sugarcoated like cereal
First I met Dre, then I met Yella (yessir)
Dr. Dre made me rap acapella
Me and Jinx did a show at Dooto's
With K-Dee, I think it was two shows
Then Dre introduced me to E
Cruisin' down the street in his red Jeep
He said, yo niggas we should flip it like this
'Cause them Boyz N the Hood like the gangsta shit
I put the pen to the pad, young nigga was raw
And told the world how we felt about the law
It was real
