Hey motherfuckin' Cube, what the fuck's wrong with you?

You didn't kick the rest of that Gangsta Fairytale shit!

Why don't you kick it one good time?

Niggas on the playground wanna know what's happenin',

You left em hangin' man, what the fuck?

Little Boy Blue is outta Folsom

Now them three little pigs gotta roast him

Driving down Sesame Street and I bet

That little motherfucker's out fucking Smurfette

Ain't saw the wolf yet, but it's no doubt

They'll catch his ass slipping at his grandma house

They got the Mac-10 pointed out the coupe

'Cause they gotta follow they nose like Fruit Loops

Peeped out Little Miss Muffet on her tuffet eating grits

She saw the MAC-10 and the bitch had the shits

Ran into her house, called up her crew

'Cause Red Riding Hood wants to kill Little Boy Blue

And the wolf too, what is Mister Rogers doing?

Moved out his Jordan, bought him a Ewing

Him, Little Boy Blue and the wolf in the cellar

Planning on getting Cinderella

'Cause Cinderella still works for the pigs

Through with the dwarfs, fucking Bebe's kids

Now Snow White got the horny ass fever

Fucking the Beauty's Beast like Jungle Fever

Now the word's on the street

When the crews meet, you better make some fucking room

'Cause it's on with the pigs and them other nigs

When the cow jump over the moon, everybody jump!

Jump, jump, jump, jump

Jump, jump, jump, jump (everybody)

Jump, jump, jump, jump

Jump, jump, jump, jump

Now Little Boy Blue is up front

With the nine millimeter, ready for the hunt

Little Red Riding Hood caught his ass slipping

Drew down on the boy 'cause the bitch is set-tripping

About to get loose with the deuce, deuce

That's when the boy said, "What about the gang truce?"

The little hoe had no words

The wolf came around and the bitch got served

Three little pigs bought wigs

Dressed like sheep, Cinderella is Little Bo Peep

Trying to creep, on the crew

The wolf, the Rogers, the Blue, they through

'Cause the pigs did the buck, buck, bang, ping

Now you hear the fat lady sing

Cinderella ran like a bitch

To the payphone 'cause the bitch is still a snitch

Now the pigs are caught by the pigs and taken

In the pen to get fried like bacon

You still can't trust no hoe

And Ice Cube'll tell the kids how the stories should go

Yeah Cube, man that shit was dope, nigga!

You all that and a bowl of grits, nigga,

That shit was on props, nigga!

Yeah, that's how you kick that shit for the ninety-deuce, nigga!

What's happening, nigga?

Yeah, nigga, that's Gangsta Fairytale part 2 nigga!

Y'all trick-ass niggas can't fuck with it!
