I am a nightmare walking psychopath talking
 king of my jungle just a gangster stalking
 Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
 Then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose
 red or blue cause a blood it just don't matta

 Sucker die for your life whith my shotgun scatters
 we gangs of L.A. will never die....just multiply

 You see they hit us then we hit them
 then we hit them and they hit us, man

 It's like a war, ya know what I'm sayin
 people dont even understand
 They don't even know what they dealing with
 you wanna get ridda the gangs its gonna take alot of work
 but people don't understand the size of this
 this is no joke man this is real

 you don't know me, fool
 you disown me, cool
 I don't need your assistance, social persistance
 any problem I got I just put my fist in

 My life is violent, but violent is life
 peace is a dream, reality is a knife
 my colors my honour my colors my all
 with my colors upon me one soldier stands tall
 tell me what have you left me, what have I got
 last night in cold blood my young brother got shot
 my home got jacked
 my mother's on crack
 my sister can't work cause her arms show trax

 Madness insanity live in profanity
 then some punk claimin they understandin me
 give me a break, what world do you live in
 death is my sect, guess my religion

 Yo my brother was a gang banger
 and all my homeboys bang
 I don't know why I do it man, I just do it
 I never had much of nuffin man
 Look at you man, you've got everything going for yourself
 and I ain't got nuffin man, I've got nuffin
 I'm living in the ghetto man
 just look at me man, look at me

 My pants are saggin braided hair
 suckers stare but I don't care
 my game ain't knowelgde my game's fear
 I've no remorse so squares beware

 But my true mission is just revenge
 you ain't in my sect, you ain't my friend
 wear the wrong color your life could end
 homocides my favorite venge

 Listen to me man
 no matter whatcha do don't ever join a gang
 you don't wanna be in it man,
 You're just gonna end up in a mix of dead freinds and time in jail I
 know, if
 I had a chance like you,
 I would never be in a gang man
 but I didn't have a chance
 You know I wish i did

 I'll just walk like a giant police defiant
 you'll say to stop but I'll say that I cant
 my gangs my family its all that I have
 I'm a star, on the walls is my autograph

 You don't like it, so you know where you can go
 cause the streets are my stage and terror's my show
 phsyco-analize tried diognising me wise
 It was a joke brother the brutally died

 But it was mine, so let me define
 my territory don't cross the line
 Don't try to act crazy
 cause the bitch dont thank me
 you can be read like a punk
 it wouldn'ta made me
 cause my colors death
 thou we all want peace
 but our war won't end,
 they'll always see

 See the wars of the street gangs will always get to me man
 But I don't wanna be down with this situation man
 but I'm in here, if I had something betta to do I think I'd do it but
 right
 now I'm just down here boye
 I'm trying to get money cause I'm smart
 I'm gunna get paid while I'm out here
 I'm gunna get that paper, ya know what I'm saying
 If I had a chance like you,
 maybe I would be in school
 but I'm not, I'm out here living day to day surviving
 and I'm willing to die for my colors

 Yo'll please stop, cause I want ya all to live.
 This is Ice-T, Peace
