[Chorus]
Run and get your bigger crew (Better, better)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (Nigga better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2
(Nigga better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew (Better, better run, run)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (Niggas better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2

[Verse 1]
Gun blast, one ass, nigga, what ya doin'?
You fuckin' with J.R. Ewing - muthafucka, who you think you're screwin'?
I got enough shit brewin' to leave blood in your urine
When the West Coast say it, muthafuckas do it
If I had a brick wall, you'd run right through it
Like your ass Greg Pruitt, fold through it
My shit work, just like drew it
And it ain't nothin' to it, nigga, full steam ahead
I'll retire when I'm dead
If the word keep spinnin' and I keep on sinnin'
Will I reach my end before my beginnin'?
Would the devil keep grinnin' at my black ass?
I ain't the one on TV, lookin' like a jackass
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, jumpin' on cash
Humpin' on ass, dumpin' four mags

[Chorus]
Run and get your bigger crew (Better, better)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (Niggas better)
Run and get your bigger crew
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2
(You better, better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew (You better, better run, run)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (You better, better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew (Yeah)
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2

[Verse 2]
It take a nation of niggas to hold us back
It take a 12-gauge shell to blow your back
It take a dumb ass bitch to hold a sack
It take a nigga like me, I'm a maniac
I'm a maniac, I'm a maniac
Call me brainiac, niggas chain react
I'm arrangin' that - nigga, lay ya flat
Niggas hatin' that, 'cause I ain't got to rap
It goes one for the money, two for the show
Three for the pussy, four for the glow
Five for the rookies, six for the pros
Seven for the numbers of them fuckin' zeroes
Eight for the haters, nine for the cause
Ten for my niggas behind big walls
Fuck these devils and these laws
Never question the size of Ice Cube's balls

[Chorus]
Run and get your bigger crew (Niggas better, better run, run)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (Y'all better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2
(Niggas better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew (You better run, run)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (Better, better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2

[Verse 3]
Fuck the law, you a beast with a badge
Hope that you get a hot piece in ya ass (In ya ass)
Stickin' dick to your partner's wife
That's how he got shot on that mysterious night
Now, I knew a nigga named Officer White
He was pushin' that white out of a black-and-a-white
And if you didn't act right, he'd come in and knock
Niggas head with crack, meet Officer Black, ya know
Denzel didn't have to act
All had to do was step back and watch maniac
Chain react, watch my cranium crack
Watch these muthafuckas lie and claim I'm on crack
George Bush is like Damien's back
Can't trust no Republican or Democrat
Do I wonder if they care about my black ass?
Who gives a fuck, a nigga still gotta stack cash

[Chorus]
Run and get your bigger crew (You better, better run, run)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (You better, better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2
(You better, better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew (You better, better run, run)
Run and-run and get your bigger crew (You better, better run, run)
Run and get your bigger crew (Yeah)
'Cause it's Judgment Day and Ice Cube is Terminigga 2
Run and get your bigger crew

Straight outta South Central Los Angeles, Ice Cube became one of the most respected rappers in hip-hop, helping to usher in the era of gangsta rap with N.W.A and as a solo artist. He has gone on to become a mogul in Hollywood but still remains true to the game that brought him his success.

Born O'Shea Jackson on June 15, 1969, Ice Cube got his name from his older brother, who threatened to put him in a freezer and pull him out when he was an ice cube. He began rapping in high school and started his rap career as a member of Stereo Crew, which released the single “She’s a Skag” through Epic Records in 1986, and C.I.A. with the 1987 track “My Posse.” Both groups featured producer Sir Jinx, the cousin of DJ/producer Dr. Dre.

Ice Cube’s big break came when he wrote the song “Boyz n the Hood” for Eazy-E, which led to the formation of N.W.A. as a group. After the release of the 1987 compilation N.W.A. and the Posse, the group released their classic debut Straight Outta Compton in 1988. A financial dispute caused Cube to leave the group in 1989 and start his successful solo career, starting with his 1990 platinum debut Amerikkka’s Most Wanted.
