This song sounds great but also says a lot about living in a rough inner city environment. The use of irony is quite brilliant and I love the poignant and deeply significant line
"Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A."
The fact it is worth commenting that no one got killed just highlights the tragic nature and inevitability of gang deaths in L.A at that time. Ice Cube spins it beautifully with this great and sometimes humorous track.
