Lyrics
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 [Hook] This, this is, this is a man's world This, this is, this is a man's world 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 [Hook] This, this is, this is a man's world This, this is, 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, 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... [Hook] This, this is, this is a man's world This, this is, 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, this is, 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, this is, 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, this is, this is a man's world This, this is, this is a man's world This is a man's world
