Ten years ago | |
I used to listen to rappers flow | |
Talkin' bout the way | |
They rocked the mic at the disco | |
I liked how that shit was goin' down | |
With my own sound | |
So i tried to write rhymes | |
Somethin' like them, my boys said, | |
"that ain't you ice, | |
That shit sounds like them." | |
So i sat back, thought up a new track | |
Didn't fantasize, kicked the pure | |
Facts. motherfuckers got scared | |
Cause they weas unprepaired | |
Who would tell it how it relly was? | |
Who dared? | |
A motherfucker from the west coast | |
L.a. south central fool | |
Where the crips and the bloods play | |
When i wrote about parties | |
It didn't fit | |
Six in the mornin' | |
That was the real shit | |
Chorus | |
O.g. original gangster | |
When i wrote about parties | |
Someone always died | |
When i tried to write happy | |
Yo i knew i lied, i lived a life of crime | |
Why play ya blind? | |
A simple look | |
And anyone with two cents | |
Would know i'm | |
A hardcore player fromhe streets | |
Rappin' bout hardcore topics | |
Over hardcore drum beats | |
A little different | |
Than the average though | |
Jet you thru the fast lane | |
Drop ya on death row | |
Cause anybody who's been there | |
Knows that life ain't sho lovely | |
On the blood-soaked fast track | |
That invincible shit don't work | |
Throw ya in a joint | |
You'll be comin' out feet first | |
So i blst the mic with my style | |
Sometimes i'm ill | |
The other times buck wild | |
But the science is always there | |
I'd be a true sucker | |
If i acted like i didn't care | |
I rap for brothers just like myself | |
Dazed by the game | |
In a quest for extreme wealth | |
But i kick it to you hard and real | |
One wrong move, and you caps peeled | |
I ain't no super hero | |
I ain't no marvel comic | |
But when it comes to game i'm atomic | |
At droppin' it straight | |
Point blank and untwisted | |
No imagination needed, cause i lived it | |
This ain't no fuckin' joke | |
This shit is real to me | |
I'm ice-t | |
O.g. | |
Two weeks ago i was out at the disco | |
Two brothers stepped up to me | |
And said | |
"hey yo, ice | |
We don't think you're down | |
What set ya claimin'?" | |
E drew the glock, yo my set's aimin'! | |
Dumb motherfucker | |
Try to roll on me, please! | |
I'm protected by a thousand emcees | |
And hoodlums and hustlers | |
And bangers with jeri curls | |
We won't even count the girls | |
Cause they got my back | |
And i got theirs too | |
Fight for the streets | |
When i'm on oprah or donahue | |
They try to sweat a nigga | |
But they just didn't figure | |
What my wit's as quick as a hair trigger | |
"he's not your everyday-type | |
Prankster." | |
I'm ice-t, the original gangster | |
So step to me | |
If you think that you're ready to | |
Got on your bullet proof? | |
Well mine's goin' right thru | |
This ain't no game to me | |
It's hollow fame to me | |
Without respect frome streets | |
So i don't claim be | |
The hardest motherfucker on earth | |
Catch me slippin, i can even get worked | |
But i don't slip that often | |
There's a coffin | |
Waitin' for the brother | |
Who comes off soft when | |
The real fuckin' shit goes down | |
Take a look around | |
All them pussies can be found | |
They talk a mean fight | |
But fight like hoes | |
I'm from south central, fool | |
Where everything goes | |
Snatch you out your car so fast | |
You'll get whiplash | |
Numbers on your roof top | |
For when the copters pass | |
Gang bangers | |
Don't carry no switch blades | |
Every kid's got a tec 9 or a | |
Hand grenade | |
Thirty-seven killed | |
Last week in a crack war | |
Hostges tied up | |
And shot in a liquor store | |
Nobody gives a fuck | |
"the children have to go to school." | |
Well, moms, good luck | |
Cause the shit's fucked up bad | |
I use my pad and pen | |
And my lyrics break out mad | |
I try to write about fun | |
Andthe goodtimes | |
But the pen yanks away and explodes | |
And destroys the rhyme | |
Maybe it's just cause of where i'm from | |
L.a. that was a shot gun! | |
