I was told, cause i didn't witness the whole act 
In and out was the movement of the bozack 
It was hot and sweaty and lots of pushin 
Then the nut came gushin 
And it was hell tryin to bail to the ovary 
With nuttin but the lord lookin over me 
I was white with a tail 
But when i reached the finish line, young black male! 
One cell made two, and two cells made fo' 
And so on, so now i'm a embryo 
Then i got a hunch 
That i'ma be on lockdown, for nine months 
Chillin, with my mother to guide me 
And nuttin but a stomach to hide me 
From all that worry and bullshit 
Nine months later, i elbow pull and kick 
Cause my time is up and i don't care 
With one big push, i'm outta there 
June 15th, it's just my luck 
In 1969, a nigga is the product 
 
"ghetto ass nigga, you ain't shit, 
And you ain't gon' never be shit!" 
 
I learned how to walk and talk and all that 
They put me in school, but it don't matter 
Cause i'm sittin in history 
Learnin bout a sucker, who didn't give a fuck about me 
They try to shape us 
But i know uncle sam is a motherfuckin rapist 
So i stopped payin attention 
Ice cube, headed, straight to detention 
Fuck that shit, i roam the hallways 
I'm sent home and i don't got all a's 
A high school dropout 
My father had beef so i tried to knock pops out 
But i got tossed, he's the boss 
I'm out of there and mad cause i lost 
Now bein on my own is a factor 
So i become, the neighborhood jacker 
Gimme your car, run your jewels 
Makin a livin robbin fools 
And if i let my nine rang out 
You know, it'll make your brains hang out 
So what's your fate? 
Am i the nigga you love, or the one you love to hate? 
The wrong answer is said, the nigga fled 
I pump lead, now he's in a puddle of red 
And if you got a buck, you're shit out of luck 
Stuck up by the motherfuckin product 
 
"uh-uh motherfucker you gots to get a job 
If you wanna stay in my motherfuckin house" 
 
"many young men reject the traditional values 
That are important to their parents. 
Church, school and family 
Have been replaced by street, turf, and gang." 
 
Twenty-one now, and paid in full 
Feelin bad, from all the shit i pulled 
On people back in the day 
Plus, i got a little baby on the way 
So i'm tryin to go straight 
I'm with my baby's momma, out on a date 
Til the punk ass cops ran my plate 
Now i'm on a bus upstate 
 
"oh, the young nigga done caught a case!" 
"sittin in the mess hall, sayin my grace" -> ll cool j 
 
Sent to a concrete hoe-house 
Where all the products go, no doubt 
Yo momma, i gotta do eleven 
Livin in a five by seven 
Dear baby, your man's gettin worn out 
Of seein young boys gettin they assholes torn out 
And then he got shanked with a spoon 
And he was 'sposed to get out soon 
Is it my fault, he was caught in production 
Where a young black life means nothin 
Just because, i didn't want to learn your grammar 
You say i'm better off in the slammer 
And it's drivin me batty 
Cause my little boy, is missin daddy 
I'm ashamed, but the fact is 
I wish pops let me off on the mattress 
Or should i just hang from the top bunk 
But that's goin out like a punk 
My life is fucked! 
But it ain't my fault, cause i'm the motherfuckin product 
 
"he ain't shit"
