Song Lyrics

[Intro: Cube]
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

Mack & Cube: Yay-why-yay! [Repeat: x2]

[Ice Cube]
While y'all n****s think about the pap¨¦
I think about which Titanic I`mma sink
The iceberg, with the nice words
I slice verbs and predicets, ghetto etiquette

Y`all better get, this dime-mega s***
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

[Mack 10]
I get full of their s*** and take flight on these n****s
`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 busts
And hoes see how big my dick is
Maniac Mack 10 always keep the heat toted
And teflon tips keep the .44 loaded

Straight quoted in nine-trey, by the dime
Now we connected
He said, "Mack, when you westsidin` and ridin` is expected"
So I...

[Chorus]
[Cube] Maniac with Brainiac, Mack 10!
[Mack] You do the drivin`, while I do the jackin`
[Cube] Maniac with Brainiac, Mack 10!
[Mack] My n**** if you plot it, best believe I got it
[Mack] And it`s on... feel the chrome

[Ice Cube]
You in the Stargate, trying t`escape, it`s not an option
Got torture techniques for them lies, don`t ever lie
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 f*** up my new suit and my weekend
Ask me what you want, you b****! I ain`t speakin`

[Mack 10]
S***, I gives a f*** what the next n**** think
(?) gives a f*** how much b**** you say you ain`t
It`s like this on mine, potna
By all means, I got the ball

So it`s your life, not mine n****, so you make the call
Now, I can blow your brains out, punk and act the f***in` fool
Or you can hand your guns 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 the whole fifty yak
It`s Mack the Maniac, n****

[Chorus]

[Ice Cube]
What`s the plan? Everything thought out
Everything bought out, like Bill Gates
My n****s love steel weights
I`m still great, after 12 muthaf***in` years

I (?) your a** after 12 muthaf***in` 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 want to talk

[Mack 10]
You argue wit `em and negotiate, and I really want to kill `em
I`m tired of the bulls***, man I really want to peel `em
Dog, I knew they were scareless
`Cause my brother Snoop told us

So f*** the money and the dope that they punk-a** owe us
Now when I see `em, it ain`t no question it`s all the way on
But I`m a wait in front of they momma house
For that one n**** to get home

And when I gun, watch his body jump
And it`s all going to amaze me
To see his own self
Layin` there with his own brains on the pavement

[Chorus]

[Mack 10]
And it`s on... keep takin` `til it`s gone
And it`s on... feel the wrath of the chrome
Westside!
Ice Cube the Brainiac
Mack 10 the Maniac
