[Intro: Ice Cube, Ice Cube & Mack 10]
In every game, we gotta have the brains and the muscle
The game and the hustle
To be real on these streets
So here you have it, the Brainiac (Ice Cube)
With the Maniac (Mack 10)
Yay-y-yay
Yay-y-yay
[Verse 1: Ice Cube]
While y'all niggas think about the pink
I think about which Titanic I'ma sink
The iceberg with the nice words
I slice verbs and predicates, ghetto etiquette
Y'all better get, this Don Mega shit
The Braniac, the theory be conspiracy
Keep my eye on the birdie, but never get my hands dirty
Verbally call the Maniac and his attack dogs
Signing contracts with automatic jack clause
[Verse 2: Mack 10]
I get full of that shit and take flight on these niggas
'Bout to show these so-called wig-splitters and nigg-hitters
Who the man be, and what the number one clique is
Let my nuts hang on these bustas
And hoes see how big my dick is
Maniac Mack 10 always keep the heat toted
And teflon tips keep the 4-4 loaded
Straight quoted in nine-trey, by the dime, now we connected
He said, "Mack, when you westsidin' and ridin' is expected"
So I do it
[Chorus: Ice Cube & Mack 10]
Brainiac with Maniac Mack 10
You do the drivin', while I do the jackin'
Brainiac with Maniac Mack 10
My nigga, if you plot it, best believe I got it
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
And it's on
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
Feel the chrome
[Verse 3: Ice Cube]
You in the Stargate, trying to escape, it's not an option
Got torture techniques for them lies, don't ever vie
Just put the car in drive, we can go ride, get this money
Determined as the Energized Bunny, make a left
Underground parking, guns start sparkin'
ATF enemies all around start chargin'
Tryin' to fuck up my new suit and my weekend
Ask me what you want, you bitch, I ain't speakin'
[Verse 4: Mack 10]
Shit, I gives a fuck what the next nigga think
Dawg, who gives a fuck how much bitch you say you ain't?
It's like this on mine, potna
By any means, I got to ball
So it's your life, not mine nigga, so you make the call
Now, I can blow your brains out, punk, and act the fuckin' fool
Or you can hand your goods over, and let everything be cool
But know this: I won't hesitate to peel your wig back
I'm off that wet-bomb and a whole fifth of 'gnac
It's Mack the Maniac, nigga
[Chorus: Ice Cube & Mack 10]
Brainiac with Maniac Mack 10
You do the drivin', while I do the jackin'
Brainiac with Maniac Mack 10
Hey Cube, if you plot it, best believe I got it
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
And it's on
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
Feel the chrome
[Verse 5: Ice Cube]
What's the plan? Everything thought out
Everything bought out, like Bill Gates
My niggas love steel weights
I'm still great after twelve muthafuckin' years
I'll serve your ass after twelve muthafuckin' beers
I act kind to my peers and everybody that listen
They know when the Brainiac's missin'
The big fish, hanging with the chicken hawk
Got all the haters, claimin' that they wanna talk
[Verse 6: Mack 10]
Cube, I hope you through negotiatin', I really wanna kill 'em
I'm tired of the bullshit, man, I really wanna peel 'em
Dawg, I knew they were scandalous
'Cause my brother Snoop told us
So fuck the money and the dope that they punk-ass owe us
Now, when I see 'em, it ain't no questions, it's all the way on
But I'ma wait in front of they mama house
For that one nigga to get home
And when I gun 'em, watch his body jump
And his soul go into amazement
To see his own self
Layin' there with his own brains on the pavement
[Chorus: Ice Cube & Mack 10]
Brainiac with Maniac Mack 10
You do the drivin', while I do the jackin'
Brainiac with Maniac Mack 10
If you plot it, best believe I got it
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
And it's on
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
Keep taking 'til it's gone
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
And it's on
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
Feel the wrath of the chrome
[Outro: Mack 10]
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)

It's on
(Ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah, ladeedah)
