Trespass
Ice Cube (wapos.ru) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many bullets can your back hold, suckin' from the H-K
The red dot's on your dome, from the light ray
Boom bam bust oh shit kid, your head is a pile of puss
I'm kickin' up much dust, the nigga ya can't trust
This is my shit, my hood, my turf
My gold, my grip, whatever the fuck it's worth
I don't need nobody comin' in my territory
tryin' to rip a nigga off and fuck your fuckin' sob stories

Take a good look at my motherfuckin' jacker
About to feel the wrath, of a greedy ass cracker
Pale as snow, so you know the hoe stand out
Comin' in my hood with his hand out
Tryin' to get over on the black, but the motherfuckin' mack
will put a fuckin' slug in his back
And with the boom ping ping, it ain't no thing to blast
on greedy motherfuckers that trespass

[Chorus]
Olly olly outcome free, here come the G
I'm saggin', and Enter the Dragon like Bruce Lee
I gots to get mo' money mo' money
Can't get pussy with no money
See I'm kind of greedy, cause all my heroes
got zeroes in back of a one
Here's my gun, about to get paid at last
But now I'm gettin' covered, in dirt and grass, kick it

The madder I get, the higher the debt, the deeper you get
The thicker the sweat
Cause I'm a nigga with fat clout
But ya in, but ya gotta get back out
No easy job, for some suckers is out to rob
Cross hair on your dome and your mind's blown
You want to go home, ain't that a bitch?
Cube, dig the ditch (yep)

[Chorus]

I got a full time job of takin' suckers out
Breakin' 'em off, yea word, I love revokin' clout
Test me, stress me, who could the best be?
The Teflon nine go through vests G
But when you're greedy you don't care about life itself
You're chasin' extreme wealth
You can't be trusted cause trust ain't in the fuckin' game
Scandalous is your fuckin name

I'm the motherfucker you're stuck wit
Ice Cube "Wrong nigga to fuck wit!"
I'm rich, pitchin' a bitch about gettin' mo'
The big fish, swimmin' in big dough
The G backstabber, I got ta have a
Lexus Coupe, when I troop




with the ski mask, gotta get the cash
My homeboy ain't home, so fuck it I'll trespass
