We Don’t Want No 8-BallIce Cube

Songwriter: Ice Cube

[Intro]
We don't want no 8-Ball
Do you like 8-Ball? (Oh no)
Yo, we don't want no 8-Ball
Do you like 8-Ball? (Oh no)
Bank it in the side pocket

[Verse]
What is this? Some old bullshit (Ayo, ayo)
Took a sip and had to spit 'cause I ain't
With that beer called the O.E
'Cause I'm O.G. Ice Cube, down with the S-T-I
You looked and it was gone
Grabbed me a 40 just to get my buzz on
'Cause I needed just a little more kick
Hooked like a fish after just one sip (Yo)
Put it to my lips and ripped the top off
8-Ball done dropped off 'cause St. Ides hopped off (What?)
And my hood won't be the same
After Ice Cube take a St. Ides to the brain (Yo)
And loc up, matter of fact, you know what?
Let's bail to the store - you're broke, what?
Dig deep into your Dickies
Grab somethin', yo, and please stop frontin'
Or I might have to go solo
And if you ask for some, I'ma throw a bolo (Bank)
And get real fly, and when I die
Bury me with my St. Ides (Yeah)

Ice Cube

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.
