Put the whoop on 'em (Ice Cube  a.k.a. Don Mega)
 Put the whoop on 'em (a.k.a. Poppa Don)
 Put the whoop on 'em (a.k.a. the Big Fish)
 Put the whoop on 'em (a.k.a. Brainiac)

 Keep it gangsta y'all  Keep it gangsta (uh huh)
 Keep it gangsta y'all  Keep it gangsta (Keep it gangsta)
 Keep it gangsta y'all  Keep it gangsta (all my life)
 Keep it gangsta y'all  Keep it gangsta (all my life)

 (verse one) {:21}
 Everyting is real on this concrete and steel
 Niggas peel your cap for a happy meal
 I got to deal with this ball of confusion, world of illusions
 We ain't losin' playa (never), weez winnin'
 Playin' every night when we sendin' paper chasing, grinin'
 While you still chasin' women 'round tables no lieutenants
 Use your own man grown, (hook it up)
 It's Ice Cube and the family stone
 Breakin' bread every night in L.A.
 And I pray, for one more day that's unate (check it)
 It's 90 degrees no enemies in sight
 Even the Don gotta fall to his knees every night

 (chorus) {:52}
 Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get)
 Without dealin' with these killers and these cowards (can I can can)
 I don't wanna loose, all i wanna do is win
 I fucked up today, can I try it again?

 (verse two) {1:03}
 I'm lovin' every breath like a cold sip of soda
 While I'm bankin' down these back streets, thanks for lookin' over
 Damn sure nice to know ya, fuck a four leaf clover
 And thanks for this range rover
 We gets down with this underground gangsta shit
 Politians and parents, always havin' a fit
 Everybody wanna know "who you with?" "where you from?"
 Why you lookin' at me dumb?
 Here's a bullet cuz you number one
 Nobody knows, the fate of a platinum rap star (nobody knows)
 We gotta wait until tommorow
 (yeah yeah)
 And I'm a nigga like you (yeah yeah)
 You know I got the bar

 (chorus) {1:33}
 Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get)
 Without dealin' with these killers and these cowards (can I can can)
 I don't wanna loose, all i wanna do is win
 I fucked up today, can I try it again?

 Put the whoop on 'em (look to allah)
 Put the whoop on 'em (pray to your god)
 Put the whoop on 'em (I look to allah)
 Put the whoop on 'em (pray to your god)

 (verse three) {1:54}
 Mister prosperity, these niggas wanna bury me
 Your bitch wanna mary me
 Rollin' more than a cherokee
 Don't, I drive what I want, and what I ain't drivin' I don't want
 Let it be known (let it be known)
 Permits hit the conk in the reagal
 But weez legal niggas dollars got bald eagles nigga
 You can't undermine Mister Grime
 You rappin' 'bout the same shit i rapped about in '89
 Tryin' to be the new fien(d) (never), with raps complex
 They love you one minute and they hate you the next
 Push my lex thru the california sunshine
 Look back on my life and say "damn I done done fine"
 (damn) (I done done fine) (uhh)
 Mister Ice Cube, i'm always on the grime
 (always, always)
 The Don Mega Mega Don, Don Mega Mega Don

 (chorus) {2:35}
 Can I get 24 more hours (can I get get)
 Without dealin' with these killers and these cowards (can I can can)
 I don't wanna loose, all i wanna do is win
 I fucked up today, can I try it again?

 Keep it gangsta y'all, Keep it gangsta (keep it gangsta)
 Keep it gangsta y'all, Keep it gangsta (everybody)
 Keep it gangsta y'all, Keep it gangsta (Keep it gangsta)
 Keep it gangsta y'all, Keep it gangsta (all my life)
