I Ain’t Tha 1

[Intro: Woman #1 & Ice Cube]

Ice Cube, do you think you could give me some money to get my hair done?

What's wrong with your hair right now?

Well, you know I get it done every week, and I need my nails done too

Look, I'ma tell you like this

[Verse 1: Ice Cube]

I ain't the one — the one to get played like a pooh butt

See, I'm from the street, so I know what's up

On these silly games that's played by the women

I'm only happy when I'm goin up in 'em

But you know, I'm a menace to society

But girls in biker shorts are so fly to me

So I step to 'em, with aggression

Listen to the kid, and learn a lesson today

See, they think we narrow minded

'Cause they got a cute face, and big-behinded

So I walk over and say "How ya doin'?"

See, I'm only down for screwin', but you know

Ya gotta play it off cool

'Cause if they catch you slippin', you'll get schooled

And they'll get you for your money, son

Next thing you know, you're gettin' their hair and they nails done

Fool, and they'll let you show 'em off

But when it comes to sex, they got a bad cough

Or a headache, it's all give and no take

Run outta money, and watch your heart break

They'll drop you like a bad habit

'Cause a brother with money, yo, they gotta have it

Messin' with me though, they gets none

You can't juice Ice Cube, girl, 'cause I ain't the one

[Interlude 1: Woman #2 & Woman #1]

Girrrrrl, you gotta get these brothers for all the money you can, honey!

'Cause if they ain't got no money

They can't do nothin' for me but get outta my face

I know what you mean, girl

It ain't nothin' right jumpin' off unless he got dollars!

[Verse 2: Ice Cube]

Sometimes I used to wonder

How the hell an ugly dude get a fine girl's number

He's gettin' juiced for his ducats

I tell a girl in a minute, "Yo, I drive a bucket"

And won't think nuttin' of it

She can ride or walk, either leave it or love it

I show her that I'm not the O-the-N-E

Say I'm a ruthless N-I-double-G-A

'Cause I'm gamin' on a female that's gamin' on me

You know I spell girl with a B

A brother like me is only out for one thing

I think with my ding-a-ling, but I won't bring no

Flowers to your doorstep when we goin' out

'Cause you'll take it for granted, no doubt

And after the date, I'ma wanna do the wild thing

You want lobster? Huh! I'm thinkin' Burger King

And when I take you, you get frustrated

You can't juice Ice Cube, and you hate it

But you see, I don't go nuts

Over girls like you with the BIG ol' butts

It start comin' out the pocket to knock it

But when the damage is done

You can only lay me girl, you can't play me girl

For the simple fact that I ain't the one

[Interlude 2: Woman #2 & Woman #1]

I don't care how they look

If they got money, we can hook up but they ain't gettin' none

Yeah, I just make em think they gonna get some

Play with they mind a lil' bit, and get that money!

Oh, Ice Cube, can I have some money pleeeease?

[Verse 3: Ice Cube]

Give you money? Why bother?

'Cause you know I'm lookin' nothin' like your father

Girl, I can't be played or ganked

Ganked means gettin' took for your bank

Or your gold or your money or somethin'

Nine times outta ten, she's givin' up nothin'

They get mad when I put it in perspective

But let's see if my knowledge is effective

To the brothas, man, they robbin' you blind

'Cause they fine with a big behind, but pay it no mind

Keep your money to yourself, homie

And if you got enough game

You'll get her name and her number without goin' under

You can't leave 'em and love and stay above 'em

I used to get no play; now she stay behind me

'Cause I said I had a Benz 190

But I lied and played the one just to get some, now she feels dumb

To my homies, it's funny

But that's what you get trying to play me for my money

Now don't you feel used?

But I don't give a hoot, huh, because I knock boots

You shouldn't be, so damn material

And try to milk Ice Cube like cereal

Now how many times do I have to say it?

'Cause if I have to go get a gun

You girls will learn I don't burn

You think I'm a sucka, but I ain't the one

[Outro: Woman #1 & Ice Cube]

But you said you love me!

I don't see no rings on this finger

Why you doin' me like this? I love you!

Yeah, you love my money; I got what I wanted — beat it!
