Now dis one dedicated to di man dem call MacGyver (buck)

Maximum respect to di man dem call Ice Cube (buck, buck)

Him nah bust no deuce-deuce, no trey-eight, but four-four, wicked (right)

Uh, wicked man, uh, get wicked

One, two, three and I come with the wicked

Style, and you know that I'm from, the wicked

Crew, act like you knew

'Cause I got everybody jumpin' to the voodoo, kick it

Wicked rhymes, picket signs

While me and the Mob gotta trunk full of nines

Play ya and I'll slay ya

I got the mayor by the hair

Ready to buck, buck, buck and it's a must

To duck, duck, duck before I bust

Lookin' for the one that did it

But like in Vogue, no, you're never gonna get it

'Cause I'm the one with the fat mad skills

And I won't choke like the buffalo bills

Sittin' at the pad just chillin'

'Cause Larry Parker just got two million, oh what a feelin' (so)

Shake that nigga and pass me the pill

And I'll slam dunk ya like Shaquille O'Neal

Like it, dig it, maybe, and watch that test tube baby

Kick it, 'cause I get wicked

You know dem wicked, Ice Cube and Torcha Chamba sound

Yes, dem wicked, him pick up di mic and buss up di ground

Yes, dem wicked, all of dem gyal with di sound

My name is Don Jagwarr and Ice Cube we run di town (wicked)

Look at the way I kick it, I'm wicked

Buck (wicked, wicked man)

Look at the way I kick it, I'm wicked

Buck-buck (wicked), buck (wicked man), buck-buck

Don't say nothin', just listen

Got me a plan to break Tyson outta prison

Come my way and get served

Still got a deuce that'll bunny hop the curb

Nappy head, nappy chest, nappy chin

Never seen with a happy grin

Show the fat frown 'cause I'm down

Take a look around

All you see is big black boots steppin'

Use my steel toe as a weapon

Kick ya and flip ya, now they want to

Label this nigga tape with the sticker

Diggin' out girls that's nicety

Plus I got a body count like Ice-T

From here to New York

I get skins and ain't talkin bout pork

Swine, pig, dig

Listen to the flow of a so-called negro

Who didn't know I was funky as Wilson Pickett

Dig it, 'cause I get wicked

Ice Cube and Torcha Chamba sound

Yes, dem wicked, him pick up di mic and buss up di ground

Yes, dem wicked, all of dem gyal with di sound

My name is Don Jagwarr and Ice Cube we run di town (wicked)

Look at the way I kick it, I'm wicked

Buck (wicked, wicked man), buck-buck

Look at the way I kick it, I'm wicked

Buck (wicked, wicked man)

People wanna know how come

I got a gat and I'm lookin' out the window like Malcolm

Ready to bring that noise

Kinda trigger happy like the ghetto Boys

April 29th brought power to the people

And we might just see a sequel, 'cause

Police got equal hate

A chazzer's a pig that don't fly straight

Through with Daryl Gates but is Willie Williams

Down with the pilgrims

Just a super slave

We'll have to break his ass up like Super Dave

I'm wicked enough to pull this

'Cause now it's on to the fullest

Gorilla straight from the mist

But I don't miss when it comes to (uh) this

Bring the yellow tape

The white cape, 'cause I'm so straight

Through with the picket signs

Take this job and stick it, bigot, 'cause I get wicked

Wicked man (Haha, oh)

Hear the hear the

Hear the wicked man

Hear the drummer get wicked

Yes, dem wicked, dem wicked, jus pick up di mic

Yes, dem wicked, dem wicked, jus put down di gun

Yes, dem wicked, dem wicked, 'cause we run di town

Dem wicked, dem wicked, 'cause we run di town

Yes, dem wicked, gwaan

Back wha, seen, den di one dem call Ice Cube

International superstar don gorgon style (buck)

Way back in Brooklyn, inside of Los Angeles, South Central style

And my name is Don Jagwarr, we are the top celebrity seen

Because we wicked, we wicked, we pick up di mics

Yes, we wicked, we wicked, we put down di guns

Yes, dem wicked, dem wicked, but we run di town
