Текст песни:

[Chorus 2]
I can say what I want to say, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I call you a nigga, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
I can act like an animal, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I eat you like a cannibal, aint 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, yall 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 all you muthafuckas tryin' to change rap (Say what, say what?)
But aren't you the same cat that sat back when they brought cocaine back (Say what, say what?)
I'm tryin' to get me a Maybach, how you muthafuckas gonna tell me don't say that
You the ones that we learned it from - I heard nigga back in 1971

[Chorus 3]
So if I act like a pimp, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I call you a nappy headed hoe, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I shoot up your college, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I rob you of knowledge, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it

[Verse 3]
Thank God when I bless the mic
You finally get to hear the shit that you like
A nigga talkin' 'bout 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 (for real)
Don't be scared of them people
Walk up in there and show them that you equal (fuck them, fuck them)
And don't be material a nigga grew up on milk and cereal
I never forgot Vaness 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 spritual
Cause me and Allah go back like cronies
I ain't got to be fake cause he is my homie

[Chorus 4]
If I sell a little crack, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I die in Iraq, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I take you for granted, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it
If I fuck up the planet, aint nothin to it
Gangsta rap made me do it

[Chorus 1]
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow (flow, flow)
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow
It's R.A.W., R.A.W.

[Outro]
Oh yeah and anotha thing for all ya niggas that don't do gangsta rap
Don't get on TV talkin' about gangsta rap
Cause 9 times at of 10 you don't know the fuck you're talkin' about
Talk about that bullshit rap you do
And stay the fuck out of mine...
