"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 motherfucker what to do



It's the peckin order (*echo*)

It's the peckin order (*echo*)



We got the power to make you niggaz sour

Big fish whale like Ichikowa, steppin out the shower

It's the peckin order, ask ya daugther how we peck

Inspect, high class ass 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 niggaz don't

So nigga 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 fuck with the true things



[Ice Cube]

Havin heavy intercourse with the world of depression

Messin with the wrong bitches 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



[Mack 10]
