Ice Cube - War & Peace Lyrics






Ice Cube the great!!

"He has indicated to us that he has sufficient.. firepower..
to.. blow up the Bradley vehicle..
and in fact his words were,
We are ready for war.. let's get it on"

[Ice Cube]
War..
"War, and peace"
Sing it!

[Chorus: singer interprets No Doubt's "Don't Speak"]

War and peace... (Sing it!)
War and peace, forever!
War and peace, together.. always!

[Verse One: Ice Cube]

I'm at the highest peak, still glad the meak is understandin me
Artillery, thoughts of killin me is just a fantasy
The man in me is ready for war, like Holyfield/Tyson IV
A gang against you niggaz on the shore
Either or, your whole family is on the floor
Windows breakin all around em, you can't climb this mountain
I'm at the fountain, with my troops
I start screamin at em like Patton, we gattin at you fools!

[Chorus]

[Verse Two: Ice Cube]

Negotiate...
strategy is the key!
I hope they ain't...
exclusively after me!
Cause if they are...
we gots to be who we be!
And make a star...
out of a head enemy!
The papers said...
that he died tragically!
They found his head...
with no legs and bo-dy!
We made a pledge...
to the Dub-S-C!
Bloodshed...
if they got no love for peace!
Sing it!

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Ice Cube]

I'd rather break bread than uhh, break your head
Break your legs, have em broken, I ain't no joke
Don't provoke, the gun smoke from the highest slope
Eternal peace, for my peoples and my folks
My crips and my bloods, criminals and my thugs
Just show a nigga love when I'm rollin on them dubs
Just, give a nigga hugs, we can ride on this piece
Westside for Life but still down with the East
Sing it!

[Chorus 2X]

After the haters attempt to blow up his car
We find our hero, Ice Cube, on the ground
Bruised, but not beaten
He pulls out his cell phone.. WITH THE CHIP!
And begins to dial Mack One-Oh
Who's faded and rolling through Inglewood
with Mr. Short KHOP
Words.. are spoken

  28. I.... T....

    It's funny how the general public only knows the main stream songs that get played on the radio and forget about all the other songs that artist like Ice Cube put out that don't get played on the radio. Ask anybody what's Ice Cube #1 song and they will say "It was a good day"

    I.... T....

    Man true Cube has so many hitz 💯.. But they have to be a fan to understand 💯

    I.... T....

    LOL exactly. That's why they call alot of artist 1 hit wonders if they only have 1 hit single. They're bandwagon trendy fans.They don't listen to the rest of the albums. They only listen to certain artist if they're mainstream.

    Ha par Malak 3009 Ana'v ibaryoat AGREED!! Totally underrated..

    I.... ....

    Invadergang3009 his worst imo

  69. c.... c....

    Cube dropped one of his top 10 tracks of all time with this one. What a great story. Great hook. Great all around, especially at the time. This album killed everything any rapper dropped at the time but cuz he from LA and tainted with that eastwest shit he didn't get love like he should've. #FACTS

    c.... c....

    The greatest I don't care no one has flip bocabulsry

  70. C.... K....

    so dope he sampled "don't speak" by no doubt

    C.... K....

    I dont think its a sample, but they recreated aspects of it. Different singer, slight differences to the instrumentation. I didn't know it was inspired by that song till years later.

  71. D.... S....

    omg I freaking love this song!!! 😍😗😍😘😗😍😘😗😘😗

  72. n.... ....

    No Doubt - Don't Speak!

    n.... ....

    Just thought the exact same thing today

    n.... ....

    this is almost better than the no doubt version. Cube should have waited a few years, he could have gotten Gwen to do the hook for real.

    n.... ....

    great song.

    n.... ....

    That's kinda done intentionally I feel xD IDK

  73. V.... 2....

    Still Bumping This Real Shit in 2017
