What Can I Do? (remix) Lyrics - Ice Cube

[sampled announcer] 

In any country, prison is where society sends it's failures 

But in this country, society itself is failing 

[Ice Cube] 

Hellll yeah! Uhh. 

Ta-dow! Uhh. 

Ta-dow! Uhh. 

Ta-dow! UHH! 

Ta-dow, how ya like me now I'm in the mix 

It's nineteen-eighty-six and I got the fix 

with the chicken and a quota, got the bakin soda 

Let the water boil, workers all loyal 

Dropped out the twelveth cause my wealth is shorter 

than a midget on his knees, now I slang ki's 

Infest my hood with crack, I'm the mack 

+It Take a Nation of Millions to Hold Me Back+ 

Too big for my britches, and I got bitches 

Now I'm hittin switches, niggaz want my riches 

Used to get 18, when my G was alive 

Now a ki' is 13-5 

Eighty-nine's the number, another summer 

(Get down!) Police ain't get no dumber 

Streets dried up, used to think it would last 

But being a kingpin is a thing of the past 

They tried to blast me for slangin a boulder 

Now I got my ass in Minnesota 

Got my own crew, it's on brand new 

Damn, what can I do? Oooh

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, how ya like me now? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, how ya like me now? Fool 

[Ice Cube] 

Already done stacked me half a meal ticket 

Bought a house next to Prince, now I can kick it 

Now I got ends, wavin to my friends 

Rollin in a Benz, goin to see the Twins 

play at the 'dome; police are tappin my mobile phone 

I'm almost home 

Gettin excited, indicted 

Spent a grip and a year tryin to fight it 

Lawyer got paid; plea, no contest 

cause everything I own, got repossessed 

Now take a look at the dust 

And I'm happy cause I only got 36 months 

I never picked up a book 

cause, my arms are 16 inches, nigga look (OOOH) 

Can't wait for ninety-two so I can get with my crew 

and see, what can I do

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, how ya like me now? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, how ya like me now? 

[Ice Cube] 

Fucked up in the pen, now it's ninety-fo' 

Back in L.A., and I'm bailin through the do' 

Everybody, know I gotta start from scratch 

So where the work at, and niggaz smirk at 

me sayin ain't nuttin poppin from here to the L.B. 

What you tell me? 

No it ain't crackin, everybody's jackin for a Coupe 

Since, they sent in the troops 

Even though I got muscle, that ain't my hustle 

Takin a nigga's shit in a tussle 

No skills, to pay the bills 

Talkin about education to battle inflation 

No college degree, just a dumb ass G 

(Yeah you fool.) Who me? 

I got a baby on the way, damn it's a mess 

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? Yes 

Took some advice from my Uncle Fester 

All dressed up in polyester 

Welcome to McDonalds may I please help you? 

[Mack 10] 

Yeah you can help me punk 

Give me all of the money, or I'm dumpin 

That's on my momma 

Ay homeboy, while you at it 

gimme large fries, a strawberry shake 

A Big Mac, cause this Mack 10 fo' life 

[Ice Cube] 

Can I roll wit you? What can I do? 

Now I'm on the run, with a gun 

and this fool I don't know, pedal to the flo' 

Swervin, servin all of the pigs 

Just because they tryin to split my wig 

I'm in custody, L.A.P.D. 

One more felony, strike number three 

Twenty-five to life in cell block two 

It's true, that's what I gotta do, oooh 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, how ya like me now? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, what can I do? 

Ta-dow, how ya like me now? 

Wesssssyde! What can I do, what can I do? 

Ice Cube. what can I do, what can I do? 

What can I do, oooh
