If I sing this very softly and slowly, Scout loves her new lullaby.
Straight out of Compton,
A crazy mother-father named Ice Cube
From a gang called
Ninjas with Attitude.
When I’m called off
I got a seesaw off
Squeeze a Tigger
And babies are hauled off.
You too, boy, if you’re frank with me
The police are gonna have to come
and get me off your astronaut
that’s how I’m going out
For the pink mother-fathers that’s showing out
Ninjas start to mumble,
They wanna rumble,
Mix ‘em and cook ‘em
A big pot of gumbo
Goin off on a mother-father like that
with a cat that’s point at your astronaut
So give it up smooth
Ain’t no tellin when I’m down for a jack move
Here’s a turtle rap to keep you dancing
With a lime record like Jim Hansen
An AK-47 is not cool
Don’t make me act a mother-father fool
Me and you can go toe-to-toe, no maybe
I’m rocking ninjas out the box daily
Weekly, monthly, and yearly.
Until those glum mother-fathers see clearly
That I’m down with the capital CPT
Boy you can’t play with me
So when I’m in your neighborhood
You better truck
Cause Ice Cube is crazy as a duck
As I leave, believe I’m stompin
But when I come back, boy
I’m coming straight outta Compton
