Dm
(Maestro!!!) Blame me!
Dm
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow
Bb
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow flow
Bb
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow
       C
It's R-A-W, R-A-W

[Verse 1]
Dm
You lookin' at the grand wizard
Dm
Warlord, vocal chord so vicious
Dm
And I don't have to show riches
Bb
To pull up, pull off with some bad bitches
Bb
And it ain't about chivalry
Gm                           Bb
It's about dope lyrics and delivery
Bb
It's about my persona
Ain't nothin' like a man that can do what he wanna
       Dm
Ain't nothin' like a man that you knew on the corner
See 'em come up and fuck up the owner
                          Dm
See 'em throw up Westside California
Nigga, I'm hot as Phoenix, Arizona
Dm               Bb
I'm Utah: I got multiple bitches
                                     Dm
It's a new law, keep a hold of your riches
                   Bb
Dumb nigga, don't spend it as soon as you get it
And recognize I'm a captain and you a lieutenant

[Hook 1]
Dm
I can say what I want to say
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
                 F
If I call you a nigga
Dm
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Gm
I can act like an animal
Bb
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Bb
If I eat you like a cannibal
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

[Verse 2]
Dm
I'm raw as a dirty needle
Choke an eagle, just to feed all my people
Dm
Lyrically I'm so lethal
Gm
Plant thoughts in they mind just to defeat you
Bb
Ice Cube is a saga
Y'all spit saliva, and I spit lava
Dm
I got the fearless flow
                                 Bb
Don't get near this, ho, if you scared to go
Dm
I keep it gangsta, and why should I change that?
Fuck you old mothafuckas tryin' to change rap
Dm
But ain't you the same cat
That sat back when they brought cocaine back?
Bb
I'm tryin' to get me a Maybach
How you mothafuckas gonna tell me "don't say that"?
Bb
You the ones that we learned it from
I heard nigga back in 1971

[Hook 2]
Dm
So if I act like a pimp
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Dm
If I call you a nappy-headed ho
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Bb
If I shoot up your college
Dm
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Bb
If I rob you of knowledge
Bb
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

[Verse 3]
Dm
Thank God when I bless the mic
Am                  Bb
You finally get to hear the shit that you like
Dm
A nigga talkin' about real life
So you can try to get this shit right
Bb
Use your brain, not your back
Use your brain, not a gat; it's a party, not a jack
Dm
Don't be scared of them people
Walk up in there and show them that you equal
Dm
And don't be material
A nigga grew up on milk and cereal
Dm
I never forgot Van Ness and imperial
Bb
Look at my life, Ice Cube is a miracle
Dm
It could be you if you was this lyrical
Dm
It could be her if she was this spiritual
               Bb
‘Cause me and Allah go back like cronies
                                         C
I ain't gotta be fake, ‘cause he is my homie

[Hook 3]
Dm
If I sell a little crack
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Dm
If I die in Iraq
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Bb
If I take you for granted
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it
Dm
If I fuck up the planet
Bb                    C
Ain't nothin' to it, gangsta rap made me do it

[Bridge]
Dm
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow
Bb                   Dm
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow-flow
Bb                 C
You niggas know my pyroclastic flow
It's R-A-W, R-A-W

[Outro]
Dm
Oh yeah, and another thing
For all y'all niggas that don't do gangsta rap
             Am
Don't get on TV talkin' about gangsta rap
‘Cause 9 times out of 10
Bb
You don't know the fuck you talkin' about
Talk about that bullshit rap you do
                       Dm
Stay the fuck out of mine
