[Intro: Calvin Lockhart and Sonny Landham]

"There's no stopping what can't be stopped... no killing what can't be killed..."

There's something' out there waiting for us (Hahaha!)

There's something' out there waiting for us (Hahaha!)


[Verse 1: Ice Cube]

You can run but you can't hide

From the Westside night stalker, shit talker

Run and tell them it's the L.M

Nigga with the gat, and I'm back

Off the everyday prey that I slay

Rolling with a fo', chase ya through South Central

Monkey-wrench ho should know that, she'll get the bozack

'Cause I'm not starving, but fuck that Johnny Carson ho

Never had me on the Late Night Show

Coming with the shit that'll hit

"Steady Mobbin'" 'cause the flavor's good

There goes the neighborhood

Nigga with the third album; how come he don't fall off?

Rolling with the sawed-off gauge

Turn the page of the chapter, caught up in the rapture

But you know Anita, she can get the peter

Eat 'em up, yum, and you're floored

Motherfuck Billboard and the editor; here comes the Predator!

[Hook: Das EFX & Sonny Landham]

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back (There's something' out there waiting for us)

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back (There's something' out there waiting for us)


[Verse 2: Ice Cube]

Check your head for the new style

Fuck Laurence Powell and Briseno, Wind and Koon, pretty soon

We'll fuck them like they fucked us and won't kiss 'em

Riots ain't nothing but diets for the system

Fighting with the beast, no justice, no peace

If any, even if we fuck up Denny

Niggas are sick of your white man tricks with no treat

That's right; now it's on, on sight

You call me a Muslim, no, I'm not a resident

Still got my vote in—Farrakhan for president

Of white America, I'm tearing ya a new asshole

Who's the nigga with the new black

Strolling to your suburb house and I douse

With gas, now who's cleaning up trash?

Eat 'em up, yum, and you're floored

Motherfuck Billboard and the editor; here comes the Predator!

[Hook: Ice Cube, Das EFX & Sonny Landham]

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out... (Here comes the Predator!)

(There's something' out there waiting for us)


[Verse 3: Ice Cube]

Got my black rag showing, and I'm hoin'; Ira Reiner

Can kiss my grits like Flo, on "Mel's Diner"

I'm meaner than a motherfucking hyena chasing antelope

Put my chrome to your dome, watch it bust like a cantaloupe

I can't stand a rope, so don't try to hang 'em

Talk about dogs; boy, I can slang 'em!

Rat-a-tat-tat on your noggin

'Cause Ice'll cream your ass like Häagen-Dazs

Chocolate, I get crazy when I catch wreck

Even be flipping the tongue like da-diggity-dung Das-EFX

So who is Ice Cube? I'm a rapper, actor, macker

Got a little problem with the redneck cracker, did the tallywacker

Jerry Heller is a devil shit-packer

Coming with a crazy pitch

And the Statue of Liberty ain't nothing but a lazy bitch!

Don't wanna give up the crack, to the black

But you'll call it racial, if we go and rape the hoe

But eat 'em up, yum, and you're floored

Motherfuck Billboard and the editor; I am the Predator!

[Hook: Das EFX & Sonny Landham]

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out...

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out, but I'll be back

Yo, I'm out... (Hahahaha!)
