[Intro]

Supreme gangsta shit

We dream gangsta shit

Yes

Yes

Yeah, what is it?

What is it? (Doctor, is everything alright?)

Yes, I'm straight, go to bed

Yeah

Yeah

It's alive!


[Verse 1: Ice Cube]

It's pourin' rain, thunder and lightning

Clash of the titans, I'm home writin'

Gangsta rap has arrived, I'm the only man alive

October 31st, 1985

Hard times just got harder

Adolescent Ice Cube, the shit starter

A martyr, thanks to the father for bein' this mean

At sixteen, raps feel like the bitch scream

You learned about your triple beam from me

And stopped payin' for pussy and hit that ass for free

A little G never thought that I could change the world

With a attitude, a Raider jacket and a Jheri curl

Got every girl wantin' to do me, screw me

"Boyz-n-the-Hood", the first rap, the first movie

Ooh-wee, it's alive

So what you gon' do 24/7, three sixty-five?


[Pre-Chorus: Ice Cube]

Dr. Frankenstein

Dr. Frankenstein


[Chorus: Mr. Short Khop]

Ooh-wee, it's alive

You better run and hide, cover your ears and your eyes

Ooh-wee, it's alive

You better run and hide, cover your ears and your eyes


[Verse 2: Ice Cube]

The world had to bow to this new style

Dial 9-1-1, makin' more money than the law allow

But fuck the police, they can get deez

Now who was sayin' shit like that before me?

Nobody, but everybody wanna take the star place

And be Scarface in the car chase

Illegitimate, counterfeit

Even got white boys talkin' shit off the shit I invent

No-no, motherfuckers musta took a photo

Tryin' to call my gangsta shit mafioso

But who ya usin'? Fool, it ain't no solution

To the evolution of pimps and prostitution

I cuss, scandalous, I give a rush

To niggas who mind turn to mush, smokin' on brush

Hush, I'm just a lush for this Hen

Chrome electroids connected to my pen

When blowin' motherfuckers ain't knowin' what we goin' through

Spiritually, lyrically showin' you

They call me America's most-hated

Gettin' liberated by this monster I created

Dr. Frankenstein


[Bridge: Mr. Short Khop]

We love to bump you, Frankenstein

Your shit is the best

Take my body and my mind

Don't fuck with the stress

Hit me with that game to win

If you want, hit me again

We love you, Frankenstein

We love you, Frankenstein


[Verse 3: Ice Cube]

Now how many times did a nigga have to warn ya?

You fuckin' up the formula (Call the coroner)

It's outta hand 'cause sucker-ass niggas like you

Try to pay the rent off my blueprint

New, sent to the industry

You thought my shit was biodegradable, uh-uh, it's unfadeable

Unstoppable, runnin' through your suburbs

Incredible thug words

We gets down, nigga, do the Monster Mash

And watch a nigga like me collect monster cash

'Cause I'm sittin' with this bitch who got monster ass

Keep 'em wonderin' how long the don will last

And never pass, and when I wanna butter the toast

Can't no nigga see Ice Cube on no coast

So all you gotta do is focus

And see that I'm the fuckin' locest with this hocus pocus


[Pre-Chorus: Ice Cube]

Dr. Frankenstein

Dr. Frankenstein, uh


[Chorus: Mr. Short Khop]

Ooh-wee, it's alive

You better run and hide, cover your ears and your eyes

Ooh-wee, it's alive

You better run and hide, cover your ears and your eyes

Ooh-wee, it's alive

You better run and hide, cover your ears and your eyes

Ooh-wee, it's alive

You better run and hide, cover your ears and your eyes
