Act My Age - Ice Cube ft. Scarface

If you over thirty-five and still rapping
Keep rapping, my boy
Keep going to that studio
Fuck all of that, "Oh, I'm getting old" shit
No, we need y'all
We need y'all to save music
We need the real lyricists back
We need the ones that, you know what I'm saying
When music had a message
You know what I'm saying, it made an impact
When you listen to a song, you felt that shit
You know what I'm saying?
It spoke to you, talked to you
We need that
So if you thirty-five and up, keep rapping, unc'
Keep fucking going 'cause we need you out here

This is for the Black, white, brown, and beige
Never tell me to act my age
Bitch told me to act my age
That's when I let his ass out the cage

Here come the rage, blast like a gauge
Bitch told me I was going through a phase
Ho, you confused, going through a maze
Before you read a nigga up, bitch, I turn the page
I keep it moving, yeah, church on the move
Only get worse when I'm finna act a fool
Old school, don't play by the new rules
Old school, slap the shit out of nephew
Fuck a plank, I don't play, boy (Play, boy)
What the hell, boy? This is Uncle Elroy
Still with it, still wild, real loud (Real loud)
Still only fuck with the real crowd (You know)
Yeah, homie, you a real clown (Real clown)
Sitting there quiet as a church mouse (Church mouse)
Told me I was immature (What?)
How, when I own the store wearing velour, bitch

This is for the Black, white, brown, and beige
Never tell me to act my age
Bitch told me to act my age
That's when I let his ass out the cage
This is for the Black, white, brown, and beige
Never tell me to act my age (Never)
Bitch told me to act my age
That's when I let his ass out the cage

I don't give a fuck where you from, nigga
Take your ass back if you love it that much (Yeah)
If not, shut the fuck up (Haha)
You niggas ain't built no different (Nah)
You talk that shit and don't listen (What's the mission?)
We can all act ign'ant, bring the guns out
I'm a vampire when the sun's out
I'm from the streets, I got to act that way
Steady fucking with me, telling me to act my age
Back up out my face, I ain't like these dudes
Not finna fight this nigga, I'm 'bout to light this fuse
The fuck they thought? I was just gon' talk?
Let that ho shit slide? Now that ain't my style
So that ain't gon' ride, so it's on on sight
Empty out the whole clip, ah, it wasn't your night
I'm a OG nigga, you don't know me, nigga
I'm as solid as the one that came before me, nigga

This is for the Black, white, brown, and beige
Never tell me to act my age
Bitch told me to act my age
That's when I let his ass out the cage
This is for the Black, white, brown, and beige
Never tell me to act my age
Bitch told me to act my age
That's when I let his ass out the cage
