[Verse 1]
You might have heard my first rap or maybe never
But Ice-T is back and colder than ever
You've seen me before but might not know my name
On the hit movie Breakin', on TV or [?]
Got pull, got juice, won a million contests
I'm the MC legend dominating the West
Not a East coast rapper, don't claim to be
But I'm down with the best in New York City
Got clout in the East when I travel there
'Cause I'm known as the West coast pioneer
With the power of Godzilla, all cities beware
Ice-T is bringing terror and MC fear
[Verse 2]
The def rhyme writer, killer of biters
And if you got a woman, I'm the man to excite her
She's cold, I'll melt her, you run for shelter
Because I rock her butt like helter skelter
Got respect for my fans, none for the wack
You push me to battle, you go home in a sack
I must be very bold to talk like that
But this is not a brag, it's a matter of fact
If you wanna battle me, I won't be hard to find
Just step right up, there ain't no line
I put the mic in your hand, you bust your very best rhyme
I pull your eardrums out, I rock so hard you'll go blind
You fall to your knees, bleeding from your ears
Soaking my Adidas in your [?]
Then I rhyme point-blank, never shooting a dud
You beg me for mercy while I stand in your blood
[Verse 3]
I cold rock like a riot that's loud, not quiet
Keep it sweet at the [?], what I want, I buy it
On a plane and I fly, gold like a pirate
Eating well, never diet, living good, you should try it
My word manipulation with precise organization
And correct orchestration will subtract all hesitation
Of your bodies [?] pulsing to the signals that I create
No argument or debate, relax, I make them feel great
[Verse 4]
Now my homeboys in the East, you know they're def
And I'll be down with them until my very last breath
Afrika Islam, Whodini and more
Grandmaster Caz, the Cold Crush Four
Run-DMC are two friends of mine
They made "Sucker MCs" to hit you blind
A lot of people say I wear a hat to look like Run
I only wear a hat when my hair ain't done
But there's many MCs, there's many crews
And if you don't like me, then I don't like you
They travel three thousand miles, they jump off [?] planes
They come to battle Ice-T in his own domain
They come to the West coast looking for a bit of success
But I service [?] Express
Because I cannot be done no matter what they may think
I got more gold than Knox, more money than Brinks
I got more juice than [?] got grapes
And got more women than Kellogg's got flakes
Cold rock a party like a neutron bomb
Clean out the suckers and the jam goes on
I'm the West coast titan, brought up fighting
And I tolerate no MC biting
My crowd is secure, 'cause my rhymes are pure
And I gain more [?] every show encore
[Verse 5]
Lyrics on this record are to express
The point of view of the undisputed West coast best
My friends and teachers are hip-hop greats
Grandmaster, grandmixing, dominating the state
I don't rap to battle, but I guard my throne
So if you want to come back, bring your own microphone
Have your life insurance signed before you enter
'Cause I serve your butt colder than a nuclear winter
The battle mercenary, hip-hop dignitary
Though styles may change, music may vary
In any rapping endeavour, my rhymes will be more clever
'Cause Ice-T is here and colder than ever
