Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Stalking, walking in my big black boots)
(Stalking, walking in my big black boots)
[Verse 2]
Goddamn, another fucking payback with a twist
Them motherfuckers shot but the punks missed
Ice Cube is out-gunned, what is the outcome?
Will they do me like Malcolm?
'Cause I bust styles, new styles, standing strong
While others run a hundred miles
But I never would, never will
Deal with the Devil with my motherfucking steel, boom
Media try to do me
But I was a boy in the hood before the movie, yeah
Call me ****, bigot and a spook
But you the one that voted for Duke, motherfucker
[Verse 3]
White man is something I tried to study
But I got my hands bloody, yeah
They said I can sing like a Jaybird
But ****, don't say the j-word
I thought they was bugging
'Cause to us Uncle Sam is Hitler without an oven
Burning our black skin
Buy my neighborhood then push the crack in
Doing us wrong from the first day
And don't understand why a **** got an AK
Callin' me an African American
Like everything is fair again, shit
Devil, you got to get the shit right, I'm black
Blacker than a trillion midnights
Don't believe the hype was said in '88
By the great Chuck D, now they're tryna fuck me
With no Vaseline
Just a match and a little bit of gasoline, huh
[Verse 4]
It's a great day for genocide (What's that?)
That's the day all the **** died
They killed JFK in '63
So what the fuck you think they'll do to me?
But I'm the OG and I bust back (Boom boom)
Bust back (boom boom)
Peel a cap (Boom boom)
Give me room in the fire of the sun
Here the mack come, here the black come, watch Jack run
Motherfuckers can't gank me
Fuck a devil, fuck a rebel and a yankee
Overrun and put the presidency
After needing that I'm down wit OPP, yeah
I met Farrakhan and had dinner
And you ask if I'm a five-percenter, well
No, but I go where the brothers go
Down with Compton Mosque, number 54
Made a little dough, still got a sister on my elbow
Did Ice Cube sell out? You say, hell no
A black woman is my manager, not in the kitchen
So could you please stop bitching?
[Verse 5]
(Stalking, walking in my big black boots)
(Stalking, walking in my big black boots)
[Verse 6]
You missed and didn't hit the Lynch Mob either
Guerrillas in the mist without jungle fever
But I got the fever for the flava' of a cracker
Not a Pringle, bust the single, here's my new jingle
(Stalking, walking in my big black boots)
The KKK has got three piece suits
Using **** like turkey shoots
My motto is treat 'em like a prostitute
Now if I say no violence, Devil, you won't respect mine
Fuck the dumb shit and get my Tech-9
And if they approach us
A'ight, a'ight I bury those cockroaches
And if you can't deal with my kill at will
Here's a new gift to get, try my death certificate
America's most, America burnt it's like toast
Like Jordan, I'm going coast to coast
Dribbling the funk, here comes the ****
With the motherfucking monster dunk, get off me punk
Jordan, Jordan, watch Jordan
Yes
You better eat your Wheaties
[Verse 7]
(Stalking, walking in my big black boots)
(Stalking, walking in my big black boots)
[Verse 8]
Darryl Gates got the studio surrounded
'Cause he don't like the **** that I'm down with
Motherfucker wanna do us
'Cause I like Nat, Huey, Malcolm, and Louis
Most got done by a black man's bullet
Give a trigger to a **** and watch him pull it
Negro assassin
I'ma dig a ditch, bitch, and throw your ass in
When they shoot, no, it won't be a cracker
They use somebody much blacker
What I do? I called up the ghetto boy crew
'Cause my mind's playing tricks on me too
[Verse 9]
Never died, surround my crib
And FOI making sure nobody creep when I sleep
Keep a 9 millimeter in my Jeep, peep
When I roll, I gots to roll deep
Ain't going out cheap
Met the mad circle on Cypress Hill 'cause it's so steep
They'll never get me, they'll never hit me
Motherfuck that shit JD
Now I'm relaxed
Grab the St. Ide's brew so I can max
Sitting by the window 'cause it's so fucking hot
And then I heard a shot, boom
