Ghetto Bird

Ghetto Bird

Ice Cube

In this bomb-ass track from the Lethal Injection album, Ice Cube tells a tale of fleeing from a police helicopter, also known as a “ghetto bird”.

The beat of this song, which samples “Funky Worm” by Ohio Players, was used in instrumental form in an early scene in the hood classic Menace II Society. (The track does not appear on the film’s soundtrack album, however.)

Even though it wasn’t released as a single, “Ghetto Bird” is one of the most well-known and popular tracks from the Lethal Injection album.
