Ice Cube
Celebrate
[Intro: Rare Earth]
I just want to celebrate
I just want to celebrate

[Verse 1: Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.]
I gots to say waddup
'Cause the brother's got it goin' on
You couldn't keep it undercover long
B-double-O-Y, double-A, hey
Last time we celebrate, who bad
So [?] the seminor
The King Punisher, came to smuggle ya
Stick 'em come on, from the bouillaté
I grab my shank, move up, array
Get up, don't throw your set up
Don't need a buster like you
To try to bear with your head up
We got the T.R.I.B.E
Who wanna live, who wanna die?
I think it's time, I live a bettеr life
I'm in a ticket straight to the toat
Hеre's a toast to the heart of the West Coast
They forget to check, so I kick it
LAX is how we exit

[Chorus: Rare Earth]
I just want to celebrate (Yeah, yeah) another way of livin'
I just want to celebrate (Yeah, yeah) another way of livin'
[Verse 2: Ice-T]
Busters step on stage, and the mic shakes
You try to flex on me, fool, and the ice breaks
Sucker you wish you had a vest [?]
G-West, microphone gangsters, LA's best
I got a posy to roll up a deto
Crash a party, and poof, pools of petrol
Mic's are blown, head's are flown, lady's moan
As I speak in a baritone
Once I start, the punks try to break north
I flow hardcore, while fools shoot, and stay soft
But I'm a brother who can't take the soft route
Throw me a mic on the track, and it's a death route
I don't be fuccin' when it's time to lock up
Dial seven digits, and I fill your whole block up
But nowadays I roll the streets
I'm not locked behind gates
That's why I gotta celebrate

[Chorus: Rare Earth]
I just want to celebrate (Want to celebrate)
I just want to celebrate (Want to celebrate)
I just want to celebrate (Want to celebrate)
I just want to celebrate (Want to celebrate)

[Bridge]
Hard, hard, hard
Hard, hard, hard
[Verse 3: Kid Frost]
I just want to celebrate, in a fiesta
Frostin' [?]
Comin' from the region of the 213 zone
City of Angels, to the rivals loss
[?], and stop playin' with books
I chose the mic instead of bangin' in the neighborhood
[?] and takin' fools [?]
Jumped from a life of crime to a life of rhyme
Watch as I go for mine
At first, I wasn't really understood
[?], it just made me mad
'Cause I thought I was gettin' more bad
And the officer said, stop shootin' up my head
So now I go loco with dope tracks and vocals
Backed by the Boo-Yaa
So fool, what's it to ya?

[Chorus: Rare Earth]
I just want to celebrate
I just want to celebrate
I just want to celebrate (Yeah, yeah) another way of livin'
I just want to celebrate (Yeah, yeah) another way of livin'

[Verse 4: Ice Cube]
Ice Cube, 1991, still lenchin'
Down with the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E
And that bitch weigh more than 235
Ready for the dunk
Psycho funk, with a chunk of beats that'll knock out Rocky Balboa
Hip-Hop that I drop straight from Sonoma
So now I gotta celebrate
'Cause our gangsta lean is bigger than [?] Gates
West Coast neighborhoods, that where the fools be
Godfather with the Uzi
Goodfellas are nice guys
But n***as like us get Colombian neckties
Gangsta Ridd asked me to do a verse
So I slid, and put in my bid
'Cause the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. is like Kings
And the Lench Mob do the craziest things
[Chorus: Rare Earth]
I just want to celebrate another way of livin'
I just want to celebrate another way of livin'

[Verse 5: King Tee]
This is somethin' for the serious rap fans
From a black man, that used to jack and steal
You just know, just for the thrill
Can't even count how many n***as I killed
'Cause I be rollin'
Through my hood for a victim
Then I sick 'em
They said they was lookin' for a fix
So I fixed them
Out with my vest, though
And they keep comin' back
Because they can't cope without it
I couldn't even take you up out it
'Cause [?]
All of a sudden everybody is from my town
But me and Boo-Yaa never seen you around
And I come from Atlantic Central
Came up on a catty from a [?]
When I was young, my father said it was cool to curse
Finished her seam, so I snatched her purse
'Cause money is funny, and change was fucked-up
So I had to jack for a buck

[Outro: Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. & Rare Earth]
King Tee OG, never fake it
Last time we celebrate
I just want to celebrate
I just want to celebrate (Yeah, yeah) another way of livin'
I just want to celebrate another way of livin' (Yeah, yeah)
