《Intro/Rhyme Pays》歌词

[00:00:00] Intro/Rhyme Pays - Ice-T

[00:00:08] A child was born in the East one day

[00:00:11] Moved to the West coast after his parents passed away

[00:00:15] Never understood his fascination with rhymes or beats

[00:00:19] In poetry he was considered elite

[00:00:23] Became a young gangster in the streets of L A

[00:00:27] Lost connections with his true roots far away

[00:00:31] But no matter the job or crime

[00:00:34] He never lost his hardcore obsession to rhyme

[00:00:39] New York's hip hop movement broke loose

[00:00:42] DJ's cut records raps had the juice

[00:00:46] Since busting rhymes was his natural thing

[00:00:51] He was crowned the west coast MC king

[00:00:55] But after his inauguration there was a rush

[00:00:59] Of wack rappers with one intention to crush

[00:01:03] This master rapper and take his throne

[00:01:07] A simple job he had no crew he stood all alone

[00:01:12] Assassins came in groups of one through five

[00:01:15] With raps no mortal MC could survive

[00:01:19] But he showed no mercy he rapped blood thirsty

[00:01:24] Battling from Friday on through to Thursday

[00:01:29] Never losin a bout never ending in doubt

[00:01:32] Every confrontation K O knock out

[00:01:36] On his never ending journey to the T O P

[00:01:40] The L A player M C ICE-T

[00:01:48] Magnificent rhymer I'm the ill beat designer

[00:01:51] If they ask you if I'm def don't front and say kinda

[00:01:53] Merciless meticulous so fresh it's ridiculous

[00:01:56] I'm raised in the heart of Los A-N-G-E-L-E-S

[00:01:58] King word connector the vocal projector

[00:02:00] Your girl tried to jock me I had to reject her

[00:02:03] Always adventurous voice some say is sensuous

[00:02:06] Now I'm on the mic so I think I better mention this

[00:02:08] I don't like Gucci Fila Louie or Fendi

[00:02:11] Those are fads and I ain't trendy

[00:02:13] But whether your name's Lucy Terry Laura or Cindy

[00:02:16] Ice got beef and this ain't Wendy's

[00:02:18] Bust a move while I'm talkin'

[00:02:19] Sucker rappers I be stalkin'

[00:02:21] When they see me on the street with my homeboy walkin'

[00:02:23] They slow down turn around and ask was that Ice

[00:02:26] Then they see me cold countin' my cash

[00:02:28] Rhyme pays

[00:02:38] Moves must be busted girls can't be trusted

[00:02:41] I looked at your lady and I was disgusted

[00:02:43] Came into the party just to rock the place

[00:02:45] And your big zombie

[00:02:46] Lookin' freak still won't get out of my face

[00:02:48] I don't mean to diss her but do you kiss her

[00:02:51] Look at her lips she got them crazy blisters

[00:02:53] Body that smells like the New York mets

[00:02:55] Arm pits all nappy packed full of sweat

[00:02:58] I hope this something that you never forget

[00:03:01] Tie that freak outside next time you come in the set

[00:03:03] Because my jams be crazy packed with all fly ladies

[00:03:05] I'm talkin' def girlies and I don't mean maybe

[00:03:08] The way I rhyme no one will ever slay me

[00:03:11] And I ain't lyin' rhyme do pay me

[00:03:23] I'm notorious I'm infamous like a snake I'm venomous

[00:03:26] For those who may diss I think you should consider this

[00:03:28] I can make a rhyme complicated as a puzzle

[00:03:31] Dangerous and as violent as a pit bull in a muzzle

[00:03:33] But this record is for radio S-T-E-R-E-O

[00:03:36] It not to be banned or for some underground mix show

[00:03:38] My hearts in my pen every time I begin

[00:03:40] Sometimes my lyrics go crazy

[00:03:41] And I just can't control em my friend

[00:03:43] I try to edit what I'm rappin' about

[00:03:45] But I can't write polite my anger just jumps out

[00:03:48] Perpetrators in the business claim their hard as hell

[00:03:50] Talkin' that gangster sh*t know'n they're soft as jell-

[00:03:53] Oh I better chill out before I ill out

[00:03:56] And my negative potential just might spill out

[00:03:58] And then this record won't be gettin played

[00:04:00] I'll save that rap for another day

[00:04:02] -Rhyme pays-

[00:04:13] The front stage area goes into hysteria

[00:04:16] As I start to rhyme and unleash my criteria

[00:04:18] Of what is to come during the beat of the drum

[00:04:20] And Evil agitates the records with the use of his thumb

[00:04:23] Using his intricate moves the record stays in the groove

[00:04:25] My boy cuts like Jason it's easy to prove

[00:04:28] That Evil E is the great his cuts are real not fake

[00:04:30] Not emulated effects or a play back tape

[00:04:33] So suckers witness your fate while Evil demonstrates

[00:04:35] I'm bout to get off this mic E dog the break - Kick it

[00:04:58] Like me if ya want'a diss me if you're gonna

[00:05:00] But my jam will still be kickin'

[00:05:02] On your neighborhood corner

[00:05:03] As my bass is max'n out the V U S on your box

[00:05:05] There'll be no doubt within your mind

[00:05:07] Whether this MC do rock

[00:05:08] Like granite I planned it

[00:05:09] So you could understand it

[00:05:10] If someone's talkin' when I'm rhymin'

[00:05:12] Then just say "Damn shut up "

[00:05:14] While Ice is breakin' the boy don't be fakin'

[00:05:16] Maybe they're just jealous of the dollars I'm makin'

[00:05:18] But you're down with me You know god gifted me

[00:05:21] Black kids say I'm trech white kids say I'm nifty

[00:05:23] Spell out my name ya go I-C-E T

[00:05:26] But right now it's time for Evil E to hit me

[00:05:38] Rhyme pays buys my food every night and day

[00:05:41] It pays my rent my bills I guess I'm doin' ok

[00:05:43] But when I say rhyme pays I mean in different ways

[00:05:45] Cause rappin' gets a lot of kids

[00:05:47] Out of the streets each day

[00:05:48] It makes me feel real nice

[00:05:49] When someone likes the Ice

[00:05:50] Or some young MC asks me for advice

[00:05:53] But there will always be rappers who hate Ice T

[00:05:55] Maybe I dogged 'em in a battle or just jealousy

[00:05:58] Inevitable situation sucker rapper frustration

[00:06:01] I rhyme too tough to bite too intricate for notation

[00:06:03] Syllables jumble competitors crumble

[00:06:06] As they witness mic attack

[00:06:07] And the microphone rumbles like hurricane

[00:06:09] I maim sometimes I go insane

[00:06:11] Step toward my rap and I inflict the pain

[00:06:13] No shame Ice capital T's my name

[00:06:16] Damn there I go illin' out again
