Big Ben Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hey guys. I'm writing and article for a class and was hoping you guys could help me out with a lyric. I want to get it right but i'm a bit conflicted. The song is Ice Cubes "No country for young men" I think the lyric is "And if I fail to mention I'm spendin’ up my pension." but a lot of sites state spinnin in place of spending. I know thos sites are not always reliable and the CD booklet doesn't have the lyrics. If you guys could give me your opinion that would be great. Here's the song.

Silver Tiger Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 It's gotta be "spendin'" unless Ice Cube is stupid. I think one site wrote spinnin' because it kind of sounds like that. The others probably just copied the first site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIsqo Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 It really sounds like spinning. But it makes no logic to me. Perhaps its spending and we are not listening well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 yeah it's definately "spending", this is one of the best songs on the album btw which is one of the best this year in my opinion, Ice Cube always brings it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
