The Peckin' Order

"In the deep and dark bowels of the underworld,

order must be maintained.

Without a strict and unforgiving chain of command,

chaos is inevitable."

[Ice Cube]

Whassup youngsta?

Since you the new booty, and don't know nothin,

I got to show you bout the peckin order

It's the order in how we do things and move things

See, somebody gon' tell you what to do

after I tell that motherfucker what to do

It's the peckin order

It's the peckin order

We got the power to make you niggaz sour

Big fish whale like Ichikowa, steppin out the shower

It's the peckin order, ask ya daugther how we peck

Inspect, high class ass to projects

Push my Lex through the California rain, gutter lane

Infamous schemes on the brain

for my connect gang, put a strain on every link

in our chain, that's right - we all get arraigned

Takin sworn notes to makin c-notes

Knowin all the while that bullshit floats and niggaz don't

So nigga don't - gangsta paradise ain't nuttin nice

Yeah we livin so trife we need Je-sus in our life

[Cube]It's the peckin order

[Mack]It's the order how we do things

and move things, only fuck with the true things

[Ice Cube]

Havin heavy intercourse with the world of depression

Messin with the wrong bitches never learn our lesson

Stressin, no guessin, never question

Even when we playin, we testin, confession

Do you still wanna meet where the killers eat?

Held accountable for anythang you repeat

It's the peckin order, ask your daughter how we peck

When we smoke you, it's your best friend you suspect

Refrão

Now c'mon, come on potnah, c'mon (it's the peckin order)

Fuck that, I don't wanna hear none of that shit man

All that cryin and beggin and shit

To be honest wit you that shit really don't even

affect me in no kind of way potnah

You wastin your muthafuckin time (it's the peckin order)

Let's get this shit goin, let's get it over with

C'mon back here, back here

I can't make no motherfuckin mess right here

Check this out homie, make it easy on yourself

I know you want a motherfuckin open casket

where your peoples can see you and kiss on you

but you gon' piss me off

and I'ma blow noodles out your motherfuckin head

and ain't none of that happenin after that

So, c'mon back here, c'mon, right - c'mon, ay

But you know, one more thing before I do this {*BLAM!!*}
