It’s A Man’s World - Intellectual

[Intro: Ice Cube]

Women, they're good for -

Wait wait wait wait, Cube, trip this

We gonna dedicate this to the pretty young ladies

You know, them pretty young ladies that wouldn't give us the play before the album, this is for you

[Mashup]

[Verse 1: Ice Cube]

Women, they're good for nothing, no maybe one thing

To serve needs to my ding-a-ling

I'm a man who loves the one-night stand

Cause after I do ya, huh, I never knew ya

Cause to kick it man it gives me the fits

They wanna lay with they nose under your armpits

Ice Cube won't wait so give it up cow

After we do it you can go home now (see ya!)

I'm a brother with a big long...

(Come on, wait, what the hell you think you talkin' about?)

[Verse 2: Yo Yo]

First of all let me tell you my name, it's Yo-Yo

And downing a girl, first offense, and that's a no-no

Yo-Yo thinks the kitchen sink should be thrown in

Niggas be scheming and fiending to stick the bone in (yep)

No, Yo-Yo's not a ho or a whore

And if that's what you're here for, exit through the door, there's more

To see of me but you're blind so

Women like me are fading brothers in the 9-0

(Wait, first of all how you gon' come on my record and talk?)

I'm tryna say all women are superior over men

(Yeah yeah)

But wait how you gon rule the world when you broke as a joke?

(With yo county check baby)

[IC]

Ay what up, buttercupper Miss Yo-Yo (that's me)

I know you like to rap and like to flow so

But when it comes to hip-hop this is a man's world

Stay down and play the playground you little girl

[YY]

What you're saying I don't consider it as rapping

Cause you're a rerun and I'm the new what's-happening

It never fails, I'll always get respect

And you lose, so take a rain check

[IC]

Hell no cause you know that I'm first and you're second

If it wasn't for me, you'd probably be pregnant

And barefoot, complaining that your back is aching

Shaking and faking while I'm bringing home the bacon

[YY]

Well you're mistaken, it's not going that far

I make brothers like you play the backyard

You used to flow with the title but I took it

Bring home the bacon but find another ho to cook it

[IC]

Damn it lookit, cause you're talking a lot of bull

[YY]

Well I'm not your puppet so don't even try to pull

[IC]

This is a man's world thank you very much

[YY]

But it wouldn't be a damn thing without a woman's touch

[Chorus]

This, this is, this is a man's world

This is a man's world

[Verse 3: Ice Cube]

Ah Miss Yo-Yo, so what gives?

I hear females always talking about Women's Lib

Well get your own crib, and stay there

Instead of having more babies for the welfare

Cause if you don't I'll label you a gold digger

The name is Ice Cube you know that I ain't the nigga

For you to look at when your hair get nappy

So take a piece of the pole and be happy

[Verse 4: Yo-Yo]

Hell no, because to me you're not a thriller

You come in the room with your three-inch killer

Thinking you can do damage to my backbone

Leave your child in the yard until it's full-grown

I'm a put it like this my man

Without us your hand would be your best friend

So give us credit like you know you should

If I don't look good, you don't look good

[IC]

I doubt it baby cause we're still most dominant

[YY]

But you don't know how funky that I can get

[IC]

This is a man's world thank you very much

[YY]

But it wouldn't be a damn thing without a woman's touch

[Chorus]

This, this is, this is a man's world

This is a man's world

This, this is, this is a man's world

[Verse 5: Ice Cube]

Man, women, I put a lot of fear in em

(Why is that?)

Cause I had it up to here with em

Drink a beer with em? No way

Cause I can only deal with em about an hour every day

Yeah if you know what I mean baby

[YY]

Well I guess, now that I think about it I think maybe

If you was more of a man instead of faking it

Women deserve the credit when they're making it

[IC]

Yeah so what's the problem?

[YY]

Well I think we solved it

I know they know the best male from who's doggin it

[IC]

Yeah I admit you can flow

[YY]

Well that's true

[IC]

But you see I'm a pro with the bank too

[YY]

Yeah I can see you got it good

[IC]

Oh that I know

[YY]

But you see you're not better than Yo-Yo

The brand-new intelligent black lady

[IC]

You're kinda dope but you still can't fade me

[YY]

So what up then?

[IC]

Girl, what you tryna do?

[YY]

To prove a black woman like me can bring the funk through

[IC]

This is a man's world thank you very much

[YY]

But it wouldn't be a damn thing without a woman's touch

[IC]

Or a big butt...

[Chorus]

This, this is, this is a man's world

This is a man's world

This, this is, this is a man's world

This is a man's world

This, this is, this is a man's world

This is a man's world

This, this is, this is a man's world

This is a man's world
