Ice Cube Ice Cube - War and Peace Vol.1 - 11 - The Peckin' Order Lyrics

"In the deep and dark bowels of the underworld,
order must be maintained.
Without a strict and unforgiving chain of command,
chaos is inevitable."

[Ice Cube]
Whassup youngsta?
Since you the new booty, and don't know nothin,
I got to show you bout the peckin order
It's the order in how we do things and move things
See, somebody gon' tell you what to do
after I tell that m_________er what to do

It's the peckin order (*echo*)
It's the peckin order (*echo*)

We got the power to make you n____z sour
Big fish whale like Ichikowa, steppin out the shower
It's the peckin order, ask ya daugther how we peck
Inspect, high class a__ to projects
Push my Lex through the California rain, gutter lane
Infamous schemes on the brain
for my connect gang, put a strain on every link
in our chain, that's right - we all get arraigned
Takin sworn notes to makin c-notes
Knowin all the while that bullshit floats and n____z don't
So n____ don't - gangsta paradise ain't nuttin nice
Yeah we livin so trife we need Je-sus in our life

Chorus: Ice Cube, Mack 10

[Cube] It's the peckin order
[Mack] It's the order how we do things
and move things, only f___ with the true things

[Ice Cube]
Havin heavy intercourse with the world of depression
Messin with the wrong b____es never learn our lesson
Stressin, no guessin, never question
Even when we playin, we testin, confession
Do you still wanna meet where the killers eat?
Held accountable for anythang you repeat
It's the peckin order, ask your daughter how we peck
When we smoke you, it's your best friend you suspect

Chorus
