《The Product》歌词

[00:00:00] The Product - Ice Cube (艾斯·库伯)

[00:00:22] I was told cause I didn't witness the whole act

[00:00:24] In and out was the movement of the bozack

[00:00:27] It was hot and sweaty and lots of pushin

[00:00:29] Then the nut came gushin

[00:00:31] And it was hell tryin to bail to the ovary

[00:00:33] With nuttin but the Lord lookin over me

[00:00:35] I was white with a tail

[00:00:37] But when I reached the finish line

[00:00:38] Young black male

[00:00:40] One cell made two and two cells made fo'

[00:00:42] And so on so now I'm a embryo

[00:00:44] Then I got a hunch

[00:00:46] That I'ma be on lockdown for nine months

[00:00:48] Chillin with my mother to guide me

[00:00:50] And nuttin but a stomach to hide me

[00:00:53] From all that worry and bullshit

[00:00:55] Nine months later I elbow pull and kick

[00:00:57] Cause my time is up and I don't care

[00:00:59] With one big push I'm outta there

[00:01:01] June 15th it's just my luck

[00:01:03] In 1969 a ni**a is the product

[00:01:07] ＂Ghetto a** ni**a you ain't sh*t

[00:01:08] And you ain't gon' never be sh*t ＂

[00:01:15] I learned how to walk and talk and all that

[00:01:17] They put me in school but it don't matter

[00:01:19] Cause I'm sittin in history

[00:01:20] Learnin bout a sucker

[00:01:22] Who didn't give a f**k about me

[00:01:24] They try to shape us

[00:01:25] But I know Uncle Sam is a motherf**kin rapist

[00:01:27] So I stopped payin attention

[00:01:29] Ice Cube headed straight to detention

[00:01:32] F**k that sh*t I roam the hallways

[00:01:34] I'm sent home and I don't got all A's

[00:01:36] A high school dropout

[00:01:38] My father had beef so I tried to knock pops out

[00:01:41] But I got tossed he's the boss

[00:01:43] I'm out of there and mad cause I lost

[00:01:45] Now bein on my own is a factor

[00:01:47] So I become the neighborhood jacker

[00:01:50] Gimme your car run your jewels

[00:01:52] Makin a livin robbin fools

[00:01:54] And if I let my nine rang out

[00:01:56] You know it'll make your brains hang out

[00:01:58] So what's your fate

[00:02:00] Am I the ni**a you love or the one you love to hate

[00:02:02] The wrong answer is said the ni**a fled

[00:02:04] I pump lead now he's in a puddle of red

[00:02:07] And if you got a buck you're sh*t out of luck

[00:02:09] Stuck up by the motherf**kin product

[00:02:11] ＂Uh-uh motherf**ker you gots to get a job

[00:02:13] If you wanna stay in my motherf**kin house＂

[00:02:15] ＂Many young men reject the traditional values

[00:02:17] That are important to their parents

[00:02:19] Church school and family

[00:02:21] Have been replaced by street turf and gang ＂

[00:02:28] Twenty-one now and paid in full

[00:02:31] Feelin bad from all the sh*t I pulled

[00:02:33] On people back in the day

[00:02:35] Plus I got a little baby on the way

[00:02:37] So I'm tryin to go straight

[00:02:39] I'm with my baby's momma out on a date

[00:02:41] Til the punk a** cops ran my plate

[00:02:44] Now I'm on a bus upstate

[00:02:46] ＂Oh the young ni**a done caught a case ＂

[00:02:49] ＂Sittin in the mess hall sayin my grace＂

[00:02:50] Sent to a concrete hoe-house

[00:02:52] Where all the products go no doubt

[00:02:55] Yo momma I gotta do eleven

[00:02:56] Livin in a five by seven

[00:02:59] Dear baby your man's gettin worn out

[00:03:01] Of seein young boys gettin they assholes torn out

[00:03:04] And then he got shanked with a spoon

[00:03:06] And he was 'sposed to get out soon

[00:03:07] Is it my fault he was caught in production

[00:03:10] Where a young black life means nothin

[00:03:12] Just because I didn't want to learn your grammar

[00:03:14] You say I'm better off in the slammer

[00:03:16] And it's drivin me batty

[00:03:18] Cause my little boy is missin daddy

[00:03:20] I'm ashamed but the fact is

[00:03:23] I wish pops let me off on the mattress

[00:03:26] Or should I just hang from the top bunk

[00:03:28] But that's goin out like a punk

[00:03:30] My life is F**KED

[00:03:31] But it ain't my fault cause I'm the motherf**kin product

[00:03:33] ＂He ain't sh*t＂
