[@davidcee9351]

Ice cube is one of my favorite rappers of all time..even back when n.w.a broke up I was all on that cube shit .i actually stopped listening to NWA and eazy when all that broke out.still listened to Luke cuz he can't sing worth a shit but any of his booty shake til this day will move a crowd and considering I'm born and raised in the (305).back when people actually danced. So now family man, acting,writer, producer ,dad,and all he does? Sheeeeeiiitt mAh nikka ..should have a cube fest that opens w all old school o.geez like too short EPMD public enemy krs1,boogydown productions ,dj quick some daddy cane, rakem, cypress,and closes w cube..in Miami FL dammmmmn(in Chris tuckers voice)that shit would be fresh ..and glad cypress and cube worked they shit out cuz that was tough times trying to chose between the 2.which I didn't...but I'd definitely would like to hear some new collaboration w them.its never too late shake hands n hug like men and get that shit flowing in the studio.. 🎙️ it would be iconic once again!!

[Chorus] Fuck it homey, I'm a laugh now and cry later Get your paper we can laugh now and cry later All you players you can laugh now and cry later Investigators let you laugh now and cry later [Ice Cube] See I'm a product of this urban decay A nigga dyin' for tomorrow, but live for today A nigga lie steal and borrow, and cheating's okay Don't you tell these muthafuckers that my name is O'Shea Cause I'm a look up my baby's credit, let him regret it 7 months old he's already got a jail record I'm the one to blame, put it in my mama name She's not a drama queen, but I got the bling bling I need the watch and the bracelet and the earrings I need you all to show up at my hearings Tell the judge I'm a nice guy, good guy And I'm a play the sad face when he look nigga [Chorus] Fuck it homey, I'm a laugh now and cry later Get your paper we can laugh now and cry later All you players you can laugh now and cry later Investigators let you laugh now and cry later [Interlude: repeat 2X] "The number you are calling was lost, and cannot be called back" "Your last call return service" [Ice Cube] It's fucked-up, that y'all won't answer my calls Tell mom, at least she can send some drawers These walls, make y'all forget about me I'm comin home, in 2033 But that's irrelevant, did you get the mail I sent What I tell a bitch, you better stay celibate She start lyin' to me, tell me who she ain't fuckin' Never tell me that my homeboys ain't nothin' Bun in the oven, it belong to my cousin Got the nerve, to tell me that you really love me What? I'm a get the ass when a nigga make parole Hit her with my cane, cause a nigga gray and old [Chorus] Fuck it homey, I'm a laugh now and cry later Get your paper we can laugh now and cry later All you players you can laugh now and cry later Investigators let you laugh now and cry later [Outro: Ice Cube] Man, it ain't right man Y'know y'all ain't doin me right man A nigga tryin' to do right man Y'know I'm tryin to change my life man, y'know? I done found the Lord while I'm in here, y'know? I I'm tryin to do right now, I mean Y'know I'm sorry for everythang That I, I I mean y'know That's fucked-up how y'all doin me man Y'all niggas could at least send me somethin "Alright, first four guys, let's go... lock it up."

[@beatrizlainez9061]

Real g shit right here ice cube my favorite rapper

[@MikiziB]

Beatriz Lainez What the fuck are you talking about? Cube is rapping from the perspective of an irresponsible nigga who's always get in trouble and always relies on others to bail him out of it. His family and his homies get sick of his shit and leave him to rot in jail, because he took advantage of them and wasn't once a friend to them despite the countless favours they did him. The end of the long is him crying and whinning like a little bitch while in jail. This is a story that you if you choose to laugh right now, you'll cry and suffer later. You'll end up a punk ass snake without a friend in the world stuck in jail. You won't amount to shit if you live your live like it's described in the first two verses. This is not cube talking about doing g shit and boasting, this a cautionary tale with a message disguised as a typical rap song. Listen to the lyrics and it all makes sense. This isn't "g shit", this is a story with moral and theme. This is what makes Cube a good writter.

[@armandocommanche5451]

Fucking good song

[@lyric411]

It’s only snitching if you helped with the crime and are telling to save yourself. It’s not snitching when your minding your business and people keep fucking with you, okay?

Qué facturas, qué alquiler, no sé qué se gasta ¿Por qué te importa? ¿Trabajas para el gobierno? [Coro] A la mierda, amigo, me reiré ahora y lloraré después Toma tu papel, podemos reír ahora y llorar después Todos ustedes, jugadores, pueden reír ahora y llorar después. Los investigadores te dejan reír ahora y llorar después [Verso 2] Mira, soy un producto de esta decadencia urbana Un nigga muriendo por mañana, pero vive por hoy Un negro miente, roba y pide prestado, y hacer trampa está bien No les digas a estos hijos de puta que mi nombre es O'Shea Porque voy a arruinar el crédito de mi bebé, déjalo que se arrepienta Siete meses ya tiene antecedentes penales Yo soy el culpable, ponlo en el nombre de mi mamá Ella es una reina del drama, pero yo tengo el bling bling Necesito el reloj y la pulsera y los aretes Necesito que todos se presenten en mis audiencias Dile al juez que soy un buen negro, buen negro Y voy a jugar con la cara triste cuando se ve negro [Coro] A la mierda, amigo, me reiré ahora y lloraré después Toma tu papel, podemos reír ahora y llorar después Todos ustedes, jugadores, pueden reír ahora y llorar después. Los investigadores te dejan reír ahora y llorar después [Interludio: repetir 2 veces] "El número al que está llamando se perdió y no se puede devolver la llamada" "Su último servicio de devolución de llamadas" [Cubo de hielo] Está jodido, que no acepten mis llamadas Dile a mamá que al menos puede enviar algunos cajones Estas paredes, hacen que se olviden de mí Vuelvo a casa, en 2033 Pero eso es irrelevante, ¿recibiste el correo que envié? Lo que le digo a una perra, es mejor que te mantengas célibe Ella empieza a mentirme, dime quien no es ella Nunca me digas que mis amigos no son nada Bollo en el horno, es de mi prima Tengo el descaro de decirme que realmente me amas (¿Qué?) Voy a matarle el culo cuando un negro haga la libertad condicional Golpéala con mi bastón, porque un negro gris y viejo [Coro] A la mierda, amigo, me reiré ahora y lloraré después Toma tu papel, podemos reír ahora y llorar después Todos ustedes, jugadores, pueden reír ahora y llorar después. Los investigadores te dejan reír ahora y llorar después [Outro: Ice Cube] Hombre, no es correcto hombre Sabes que no me están haciendo bien, hombre Un negro tratando de hacer el hombre correcto Sabes, estoy tratando de cambiar mi vida, ¿sabes? He encontrado al Señor mientras estoy aquí, ¿sabes? Estoy tratando de hacerlo ahora mismo, quiero decir Ya sabes, lo siento por todo Que yo, quiero decir, ya sabes Eso es jodido como todos ustedes me están haciendo hombre Todos ustedes niggas podrían al menos enviarme algo Muy bien, los primeros cuatro chicos, vamos ... ciérralo volume_up content_copyshare star_border Más información sobre este texto de origen Para obtener más información sobre la traducción, se necesita el texto de origen Enviar comentarios Paneles laterales
