andquot;hello, my name is elaine --
and iand'll be your tour guide through south central los angelesandquot;
[ice cube]
how to survive in south central (what you do?)
a place where bustin a cap is fundamental
no, you canand't find the shit in a handbook
take a close look, at a rap crook
rule number one: get yourself a gun
a nine in your assand'll be fine
keep it in your glove comparment
cause jackers (yo) they love to start shit
now if youand're white you can trust the police
but if youand're black they ainand't nothin but beasts
watch out for the kill
donand't make a false move and keep your hands on the steering wheel
and donand't get smart
answer all questions, and thatand's your first lesson
on stayin alive
in south central, yeah, thatand's how you survive
andquot;hi this is elaine again.
are you enjoying your stay in south central los angeles,
or is somebody taking your things? have you witneesed a driveby?
okay, make sure you have your camcorder ready
to witness the extracurricular activities on blacks by the police,
so you and your family can enjoy this tape, over and over again.andquot;
andquot;this is los angeles.andquot; andquot;this is los angeles.andquot;

rule number two: donand't trust nobody
especially a bitch, with a hookerand's body
cause it ainand't nuttin but a trap
and femalesand'll get jacked and kidnapped
youand'll wind up dead
just to be safe donand't wear no blue or red
cause most niggaz get got
in either l.a., compton or watts
pissed-off black human beings
so i think you better skip the sight-seeing
and if youand're nuttin but a mark
make sure that youand're in before dark
but if you need some affection mate
make sure the bitch ainand't a section eight
cause if so thatand's a monkey-wrench hoe
and you wonand't survive in south central
andquot;now you realize itand's not all that itand's cracked up to be.
you realize that itand's fucked up!
it ainand't nothin like the shit you saw on tv.
palm trees and blonde bitches?
iand'd advise to you to pack your shit and get the fuck on;
punk motherfucker!andquot;
And you need your ass straight smoked
yo i wanna say whassup to dj chilly chill
sir jinx, aiyyo cube these motherfuckers donand't know what time it is
so show these motherfuckers whatand's happenin
tell these motherfuckers, donand't fuck around in south central
god damnit!
[ice cube]
rule number three: donand't get caught up
cause niggaz are doing anything thatand's thought up
and they got a vice
on everything from dope, to stolen merchandise
we discern
cause south central l.a., is one big yearn
waitin for a brother like you to catch a disease
and start slangin kiand's
to an undercover or the wrong brother
and theyand'll smother, a out of town motherfucker
so donand't take your life for granted
cause itand's the craziest place on the planet
in l.a. heroes donand't fly through the sky of stars
they live behind bars
so everybodyand's doin a little dirt
and itand's the youngsters puttin in the most work
so be alert and stay calm
as you enter, the concrete vietnam
you say, the strong survive
shit, the strong even die, in south central
Yeah you bitches, you think i forgot about your ass,
you tramp-ass hoes? you better watch out.
and for you so called baller-ass niggaz,
you know what time it is. south central ainand't no joke.
got to keep your gat at all times motherfuckers.
better keep one in the chamber and nine in the clip god damnit.
youand'll shoand' get got, just like that.
this ainand't no joke motherfuckers.
