Since I Was A Youth lyrics

[Scratched: Ice Cube on N.W.A.'s Gangsta, Gangsta)
Since I was a youth, I smoked weed out
Now I'm the mother f*cker that you read about
I'm a menace to society

[Bambu]
And since I was a peewee I been pretty same same
'cept maybe the weight gain and traveling via plane
I still a murder a break
I still a get in your face
I still be claiming LA like I just got jumped in a gang

It's a shame that city school district the same
My father couldn't stand my school and now I feel the same way
I don't know what all that graduation stage sh*t about
But check me out

[Ice Cube]
Now I'm the mother f*cker that you read about

[Bambu]
C.R.A.S.H. units got replaced by gang injunctions and such
Education institutions like we been locked up
Security guards and police on campus to oversee us
Yo f*ck security guards we to hire more teachers
f*ck security we need to hire art teachers
f*ck security we need to hire brown teachers
Used to wait for pops to drop me off and be out
And no doubt

[Ice Cube]
Now I'm the mother f*cker that you read about

[Scratched: Ice Cube on N.W.A.'s Gangsta, Gangsta)
Since I was a youth, I smoked weed out
Now I'm the mother f*cker that you read about
I'm a menace to society

[Bambu]
And since before the radio was all about rap
Back when VH1 would look at rap like that sh*t a fad
Before a backpack was pegged another genre of rap
'cause where we from we pack a backpack to conceal our strap
Be in the cypher like what homie go straight off the top
Then travel all across the city tryna find me a knot
Be on a mission for ****** and they be playing me out, no doubt

[Ice Cube]
Now I'm the mother f*cker that you read about

[Bambu]
Used to cuff my Ben Davis through a 40 inch waist
And I ain't playin', used to pull the waist way up past my waist
Double pocket chest, zipper way up high on my neck
The little monkey on my left
My belt buckle an S
And Cortez I grew out of my heart pump same
And when we die there ain't fireworks or f*cking parades
Back in the day, from crashing on my girlfriend's couch and now I'm out

[Ice Cube]
Now I'm the mother f*cker that you read about

[Scratched: Ice Cube on N.W.A.'s Gangsta, Gangsta)
Since I was a youth, I smoked weed out
Now I'm the mother f*cker that you read about
I'm a menace to society

Yeah
Yeah
Beatrock
Bam Brrrt
Bang bang
Uh huh
Ay yo roll that sh*t up
I know Felt on that vape hype
And I'm 'bout that sh*t, but right now
Being the topic it is, what it is
I'm feeling old school I might
I might even leave the stems in

Southeast Deigo what's up
