[Intro]
Dm(Maestro!!!) Blame me!
DmYou niggas know my pyroclastic flow
BbYou niggas know my pyroclastic flow flow
BbYou niggas know my pyroclastic flow
It's R-CA-W, R-A-W
[Verse 1]
DmYou lookin' at the grand wizard
DmWarlord, vocal chord so vicious
DmAnd I don't have to show riches
BbTo pull up, pull off with some bad bitches
BbAnd it ain't about chivalry
GmIt's about dope lyrics and deBblivery
BbIt's about my persona
Ain't nothin' like a man that can do what he wanna
Ain't nDmothin' like a man that you knew on the corner
See 'em come up and fuck up the owner
See 'em throw up Westside DmCalifornia
Nigga, I'm hot as Phoenix, Arizona
DmI'm Utah: I got mBbultiple bitches
It's a new law, keep a hold of your rDmiches
Dumb nigga, don't sBbpend it as soon as you get it
And recognize I'm a captain and you a lieutenant
[Hook 1]
DmI can say what I want to say
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
If I call you a nFigga
DmAin't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
GmI can act like an animal
BbAin't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
BbIf I eat you like a cannibal
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
[Verse 2]
DmI'm raw as a dirty needle
Choke an eagle, just to feed all my people
DmLyrically I'm so lethal
GmPlant thoughts in they mind just to defeat you
BbIce Cube is a saga
Y'all spit saliva, and I spit lava
DmI got the fearless flow
Don't get near this, ho, if you sBbcared to go
DmI keep it gangsta, and why should I change that?
Fuck you old mothafuckas tryin' to change rap
DmBut ain't you the same cat
That sat back when they brought cocaine back?
BbI'm tryin' to get me a Maybach
How you mothafuckas gonna tell me "don't say that"?
BbYou the ones that we learned it from
I heard nigga back in 1971
[Hook 2]
DmSo if I act like a pimp
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
DmIf I call you a nappy-headed ho
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
BbIf I shoot up your college
DmAin't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
BbIf I rob you of knowledge
BbAin't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
[Verse 3]
DmThank God when I bless the mic
AmYou finally get to hBbear the shit that you like
DmA nigga talkin' about real life
So you can try to get this shit right
BbUse your brain, not your back
Use your brain, not a gat; it's a party, not a jack
DmDon't be scared of them people
Walk up in there and show them that you equal
DmAnd don't be material
A nigga grew up on milk and cereal
DmI never forgot Van Ness and imperial
BbLook at my life, Ice Cube is a miracle
DmIt could be you if you was this lyrical
DmIt could be her if she was this spiritual
‘Cause me and ABbllah go back like cronies
I ain't gotta be fake, ‘cause he is my hoCmie
[Hook 3]
DmIf I sell a little crack
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
DmIf I die in Iraq
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
BbIf I take you for granted
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
DmIf I fuck up the planet
BbAin't nothin' to it, gCangsta rap made me do it
[Bridge]
DmYou niggas know my pyroclastic flow
BbYou niggas know my pyDmroclastic flow-flow
BbYou niggas know my Cpyroclastic flow
It's R-A-W, R-A-W
[Outro]
DmOh yeah, and another thing
For all y'all niggas that don't do gangsta rap
Don't get on AmTV talkin' about gangsta rap
‘Cause 9 times out of 10
BbYou don't know the fuck you talkin' about
Talk about that bullshit rap you do
Stay the fuck out of miDmne

[Intro]

(Maestro!!!) Blame me!

You niggas know my pyroclastic flow

You niggas know my pyroclastic flow flow

You niggas know my pyroclastic flow

It's R-A-W, R-A-W

[Verse 1]

You lookin' at the grand wizard

Warlord, vocal chord so vicious

And I don't have to show riches

To pull up, pull off with some bad bitches

And it ain't about chivalry

Gm Bb

It's about dope lyrics and delivery

It's about my persona

Ain't nothin' like a man that can do what he wanna

Ain't nothin' like a man that you knew on the corner

See 'em come up and fuck up the owner

See 'em throw up Westside California

Nigga, I'm hot as Phoenix, Arizona

Dm Bb

I'm Utah: I got multiple bitches

It's a new law, keep a hold of your riches

Dumb nigga, don't spend it as soon as you get it

And recognize I'm a captain and you a lieutenant

[Hook 1]

I can say what I want to say

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I call you a nigga

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

I can act like an animal

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I eat you like a cannibal

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

[Verse 2]

I'm raw as a dirty needle

Choke an eagle, just to feed all my people

Lyrically I'm so lethal

Plant thoughts in they mind just to defeat you

Ice Cube is a saga

Y'all spit saliva, and I spit lava

I got the fearless flow

Don't get near this, ho, if you scared to go

I keep it gangsta, and why should I change that?

Fuck you old mothafuckas tryin' to change rap

But ain't you the same cat

That sat back when they brought cocaine back?

I'm tryin' to get me a Maybach

How you mothafuckas gonna tell me "don't say that"?

You the ones that we learned it from

I heard nigga back in 1971

[Hook 2]

So if I act like a pimp

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I call you a nappy-headed ho

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I shoot up your college

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I rob you of knowledge

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

[Verse 3]

Thank God when I bless the mic

Am Bb

You finally get to hear the shit that you like

A nigga talkin' about real life

So you can try to get this shit right

Use your brain, not your back

Use your brain, not a gat; it's a party, not a jack

Don't be scared of them people

Walk up in there and show them that you equal

And don't be material

A nigga grew up on milk and cereal

I never forgot Van Ness and imperial

Look at my life, Ice Cube is a miracle

It could be you if you was this lyrical

It could be her if she was this spiritual

‘Cause me and Allah go back like cronies

I ain't gotta be fake, ‘cause he is my homie

[Hook 3]

If I sell a little crack

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I die in Iraq

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I take you for granted

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

If I fuck up the planet

Bb C

Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

[Bridge]

You niggas know my pyroclastic flow

Bb Dm

You niggas know my pyroclastic flow-flow

Bb C

You niggas know my pyroclastic flow

It's R-A-W, R-A-W

[Outro]

Oh yeah, and another thing

For all y'all niggas that don't do gangsta rap

Don't get on TV talkin' about gangsta rap

‘Cause 9 times out of 10

You don't know the fuck you talkin' about

Talk about that bullshit rap you do

Stay the fuck out of mine
