Ice Cube – U Ain't Gonna Take My Life lyrics
Originally* appeared as a b-side to cube's "wicked" single Mr
Dirty. harry you, look really scary With
your 357. officer, kevin Spent
11 years on the force trying to get mine Head
got the flat top boots, got the spit shine Don't
give a f k**about my neighborhood Just
wanna do your eight hours then, hit the showers Shoot
a brother down adn you don't send flowers Goddamn
sherrif can't, wait to tarriff A
chunk of a n anusa butit, watch a n anusblast And
get away n anusfast You
ain't gonna have me face down no more You
ain't gonna have a chance to clown no more To
the boys in blue I, got kids too Ain't
going out like a jigaboo no, no no On
my way to the store You
see me in a range rover now, you gotta pull me over But
where oh where is the ticket You?
got your hand on your gun cause you're wicked You
don't like the face of the original man But
you gotta treat me like an individual man Talk
right and I'll talk right back Show
some goddamn respect to the black Cause
I gotta get back to my wife But
I'm sorry you, ain't gonna take my life Just
because you got a badge Did
you think ice cube was gonna wave the white flag Cracker?
please you, can yell freeze I'd
rather die standing up than die on my knees You
think you can do anything you want to do To
my crew when you come through man, f k**you Shooting
up south central Catch
your a slippingay at a rent show Could
have popped you off one, dead cop But
I know you got a wife and a dog named spot I
show a little mercy cause I'm civilized Looking
through a nigga's eyes at a much bigger prize But
when I saw rodney it got me so hot Made
me wanna go out and pop me a cop Cause
every time you see me sagging Here
comes the grand dragon in, the motherfucking patty wagon Try
to play me like a trick Sometimes
you act like a d k**mr, Nightstick. Back
then I, used to throw my mack-10 But
nowadays you got the black skin Back
then you don't like the voice of a n anusnamed ice But
you ain't gonna take my life You
man let's get an understanding I
know that your job is demanding But
I only got me one life to live You
only got about six shots to give And
I got a big ak with a 50-round clip So
why should we trip You?
ain't gonna punk me so, what you trying for Ain't?
no job worth dying for is, it Might?
pay a visit to petey wheatstraw When
you stop me on the shore officer, of the law And
if I did something wrong you, can lock me up Never
never never gonna sock me up So
next time you have the urge all, of the sudden To
f k**with a n anusfor nothing Think
about me a, brother that's 23 I
got a son and a j-o-b So
before you pull your gun you'd, better think twice Pig
cause, you ain't gonna take my life
Dirty. harry you, look really scary With
your 357. officer, kevin Spent
11 years on the force trying to get mine Head
got the flat top boots, got the spit shine Don't
give a f k**about my neighborhood Just
wanna do your eight hours then, hit the showers Shoot
a brother down adn you don't send flowers Goddamn
