[Ice Cube:]

Ice Cube motherfucker with my nigga C. Toones

The C stand for Crazy, yeah nigga we loons

And we been saggin, before Bin Laden

Been braggin 'bout his first underground cabin

And you been faggin, like a Sisqo dragon

Tail waggin, San Francisco actin

Come through lookin 6'8, makin' bitches wait

Can't believe that nigga Cube is on a mixtape

But only large niggaz dictate, where they rhymes go

As time go watch yo' mind blow

If not I'll let my nine go, like a rhino

It'll slump ya like whino

Little homies call me El Grando

Cube Calico, you can go toss a salad hoe

Better yet, you can get the dick mayne

The shit mayne, and don't you forget mayne...
