Ill-Legal |
Ah yeah |
Right about now C.I.A. |
is in effect |
My name is Dr. Dre their producer |
And we gon’cold get retarted |
A little somethin like this |
All the guys act eerie (why?) I don’t know |
Cause I am Darryl (but I’m not Joe) |
Posse 1 to the mic, Ice Cube (that's you) |
(Kid Dee) that’s me, I’m Posse 2 |
Sir Jinx is without a doubt Posse 3 |
3rd to the cut, boy, evidently |
Funky fresh, freshly-funky Kid Dee is coldly-coolin |
And my boys, we bust out on the west cause I am rulin it Schoolin it, boy, and you don’t want none |
Much like a 808 because my bass hums |
I am ill gettin iller, Ice Cube is illustratin it A brand new cut, keep the b-boys hatin it Don’t get paid, but that’s alright |
I got the riches of a king when I hold the mic |
Ill-legal gettin busy, a strong black villain |
Ice Cube (Sir Jinx) Kid Dee (what — chillin) |
Yeah |
(West Coast style) |
(The names have been changed to protect the innocent) |
(Word) |
Now Ice Cube’s gettin busy, my girls are dizzy |
Always on the scene with the schoolyard skizzy |
Posse 2 playin, def rhyme-sayin |
And at the Snooty Fox is where I’m stayin |
???, pizza man-jacking |
Always in a daze and my mouth keeps yapping |
Crenshaw dweller, mix tape seller |
Cute with the loot plus I’m a fresh fella |
G-g-g-girlie abuser, 8Ball user |
I hold the title of the Crenshaw cruiser |
Bark like a beagle, word’s ill-legal |
Fuck Boy and drive-by Seagal |
Kool-Aid I guzzle which makes me puzzled |
Moms on my tip, bought her a new muzzle |
Ugly girls shakin, miniskirt-takin |
Ice Cube (oh yeah) Kid Dee’s money-makin |
(Hold it) |
(Go) (go) (go) (go) (go) |
(L.A. is the place) |
(Ah yeah) |
(4 and) (3 and) (2 and) (1) (what up) -→Beastie Boys |
Had the girlies here early morning, all of them fine |
Pushing and shoving, wasn’t even in line |
Out here to see me do my thing |
Car stopped, door opened, out steps the king |
Buggin and sluggin, to wreck the car |
You know why, Kid Dee, cause I’m a rap star |
Girl kissed my hand and fell to her knees |
Said, Hold it everybody, no autographs please |
Well me I’m Kid Dee, I stepped out next |
I don’t smoke but I’m down for music and sex |
I’m the big star and it ain’t no thing |
Let facts be facts, I’m down with the king |
Tryin not lyin, I keep my profile low |
And wouldn’t you know they still ripped my clothes |
Knocked me off my feet, right on my seat |
Girls caused a riot, bodyguards got beat |
(Is that right?) |
Now Jinx was last to hit the party |
Girls was touchin all on my body |
Suckin and grabbin, ripped and torn |
The crew was bonin out to the backstage door |
Females went nuts, pinchin my butt |
Funky fresh Filas kicked the door shut |
Huffin and puffin cause we ran far |
So we rushed the dressing room with the biggest star |
Ill-legal, y’all |
(West Coast style) -→C.I.A. |
(Raised in L.A.) -→Ice-T |
(From L.A.) |
(The names have been changed to protect the innocent) |
(Word) |
He is so conceited but he don’t show it Who me Ice Cube? |
(Word up) You know it Broke my leg and I had to hobble |
Still did the wop, still quick to squabble |
Well, I’m jammin not slammin, don’t give a goddamn and |
When I go out to eat it’s caviar not salmon |
(Why not?) Cause it’s in stereo |
And when we perform, here’s how it goes |
Now Jinx’s out first, cause that’s our style |
But when my Filas hit the stage, the crowd went wild |
Jinx cuts the beat cause he’s the band |
I grab the microphone and I throw the mic stand |
I threw my hands high cause I need to be seen |
I go second to the mic cause that’s the routine |
I introduced him and he’d do it for me Yo, that’s Ice Cube (and that’s Kid Dee) |
Yo |
