My Summer Vacation

[Airline Attendant]

This is the final boarding call for flight 1259

Departing from Los Angeles, final destination to St. Louis

Thank you

[Ice Cube]

Damn G, the spot's gettin hot

So how the fuck am I supposed to make a knot?

Police looking at niggaz through a microscope

In L.A. everybody and they momma sell dope

They trying to stop it

So what the fuck can I do to make a profit?

Catch a flight to St. Louis

That's cool, cause nobody knew us

We stepped off the plane

Four gang bangers, professional crack slangers

Rented a car at Wholesale

Drove to the ghetto, and checked in a motel

Unpacked and I grabbed the 3.80

Cos where we staying, niggaz look shady

But they can't fade South Central

Cos busting a cap is fundamental

Peeping out every block close

Seeing which one will clock the most

Yeah, this is the one, no doubt

Bust a U Bone, and let's clear these niggaz out

"Hey! Hey man! Whassup nigga?

This is Lynch Mob nigga" (tires squeal)

Now clearing them out meant casualties

Still had the L.A. mentality

Bust a cap, and outta there in a hurry

Wouldn't you know, a drive-by in Missouri

Them fools got popped

Took their corner next day, set up shop

And it's better than slanging in the Valley

Triple the profit making more than I did in Cali

Breaking up rocks like Barney Rubble

Cos them mark-ass niggaz don't want trouble

And we ain't on edge when we do work

Police don't recognize the khakis and the sweatshirts

Getting bitches and they can't stand a

1991 Tony Montana

Now the shit's like a war - Gang violence

Where it was never seen before

Punks run when the gats bust

4 jheri curled niggaz kicking up dust

And some of them are even looking up to us

Wearing our colors and talking that gang Fuck,

Giving up much much love

Dying for a street that they ain't never heard of

But other motherfuckers want to stand strong

So you know the phrase, "once again it's on..."

[TV Newscaster]

At the top of the news tonight:

A gang from South Central Los Angeles, which are known for their drive-by shootings,

Have migrated into east St. Louis leaving 3 dead and 2 others injured. No arrests have

Been made. Police say this is a nation-wide trend, with similar incidents occurring in

Texas, Michigan, and Oklahoma.

(Female voice repeating in background:

"If it can happen here, it can happen anywhere")

BOOM, my homie got shot he's a gonner black

St. Louis niggaz want they corner back

Shooting in snowy weather

It's illegal business, niggaz still can't stick together

Fuckin police got the 411

That L.A. ain't all, surf and sun

But we ain't thinking bout them boys

Feudin, like the Hatfields and McCoys

Now the shit's gettin tricky

Cuz now they looking for tha colorz and the Dickie's

Damn, the spot's getting hot from the battle

I'm a\bout to pack up and start slinging in Seattle

But the NARCs, raid about six in the morning

Try to catch a nigga while he's yawnin

Put his glock to my chest as I paused

Went to jail in my motherfuckin drawers

Tryin to give me, fifty-seven years

Face'll be full of those tattooed tears

It's the same old story and the same old nigga stuck

And the public defender ain't givin a fuck

The fool must be sparkin

Talkin about a double life plea bargain

You got to deal with the Crips and Bloods by hand G

Plus the Black Guerilla family

And the white pride don't like Northside

And it's a riot if any more niggaz die

No parole or probation

Now this is a young man's Summer Vacation

No chance for rehabilitation

Cuz look at the muthafucking years that I'm facing

I'ma end it like this cuz you know what's up

My life is fucked

"Police eat a dick, straight up"

[Pig 1]

"Look here you little goddamn nigger,

You're not gatling nobody, you fuckin' understand me?!

That's right, now get down on the goddamn

Ground! NOW! Fuckin' move! NOOWW!"

[Pig 2]

"Let me take a shot at him!"

[Pig 1]

"We gonna do you like King (What goddamn King?)

Rodney King, Martin Luther King, and all the

Goddamn kings of Africa!"

[Ice Cube]

"Look out motherfucka!" (3 gunshots)
