Ice Cube
Motherfucking head so big they
Call him jack n the box

{1st verse}
I'm a superhero, like Lou Ferrigno
Made Bob De Niro, look like a zero
Shine the spotlight, this is my night
Get your camera's ready, let it rain confetti
I'm a champion, I do what can't be done
In the real league nerd not the fantasy one
Throw your hands up, you can cheer for your boy
When I hit the stage get a ear full of noise
When I bring the noise from here to Illinois
Motherfuckers love when I do what it does
I'm all-star, superstar entertainer
World-class, first ballot hall of famer
Some rappers claim that they got a heart full of anger
How when your lyrics were written by a stranger
Fool I'm the greatest, you just the latest
I'm loved by your grandmama, and your babies

{Chorus-A}
See my head is so big they call me jack n the box
You can't impress me, so fuck what you got
I say my head is so big they call me jack n the box
Don't talk about money cause I'm stacking a lot

{Chorus-B}
Shine that light on me, put that light on me
Cause I was sent to the world, by G-O-D
Shine that light on me, put that light on me
Cause I was sent to the world, by G-O-D

{2nd verse}
I was a born loser, I was a born sinner
Now I am a winner, in the convention center
I got to take a bow, cause I still wonder how
The system didn't get me when I was a juvenile (just think)
Just think if I had got locked up
No "Boyz N Tha Hood" thanks to America
No Eazy, N.W.A. no "Friday"
Don't let ya motherfucking talent go to waste
Don't catch a case cause these people got a place
To throw your life away and take you right out the waste
Throw your hands up, you got to man up
I had to show the world, what I was made of
What you say blood, I was a slave cuz
Now I'm VIP, up in Vegas
I'm up in Nike town, so how you like me now
See the whole industry had to bite my style

{Chorus-C}
See my head is so big they call me jack n the box
I knew we would win, so I'm bragging a lot
I say my head is so big they call me jack n the box
My shit is so dope, it's like crack in the pot

{Chorus-B}

{Bridge 2x}
Now mama don't be mad, I got to show my ass
And thank these motherfuckers for my past
I got to let them know I never brake like glass (never)
What you looking at is top notch world-class

{Chorus-A}
{Chorus-B}

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.
