Ice T - Rhyme Pays lyrics

Verse one:

Magnificent rhymer, Ill beat designer

If they ask you if I'm def. Don't front and say kinda

Merciless. Meticulous. So fresh it's rediculous

Raised in the heart of Los A-N-G-E-L-E-S

King word connector. Vocal projector

Your girl tried to jock me. I had to reject her

Always adventurous voice some say is sensuous

I'm on the mic so I think I better mention this

I don't like Gucci, Fila, Louie or Fendi

Those are fads and I ain't trendy

But wheter your names Lucy, Terry, Laura or Cindy

Ice got beef and this ain't Wndy's

Bust allmenn move while I'm talkin'

Sucker rappers I be stalkin'

When they see me on the street with my homeboy walkin'

They slow down, turn around and ask was that Ice ?

Then they see me cold countin' my cashi

Rhyme pays ----!!

Verse 2:

Moves must be busted, girls can't be trusted

I looked at your lady and I was disgusted

Came into the party just to rock the place

And your big zombie lookin' freak still won't get out of my face

I don't mean to diss her, but do you kiss her ?

Look at her hips, she's got those crazy blisters

Body that smells like the New York mets

Arm pits all nappy packed full of sweat

I hope this something that you never forget

Tie that freak outside next time you come in a set

Because my jams be crazt packed with all fly ladies

I'm talkin' def girlies and I don't mean maybe

The way I rhyme no one will ever slay me

And I ain't lyin' rhyme do pay me !

Rhyme pays ---- !!

Verse three:

I'm notorious, I'm infamous. Like a snake I'm venomous

For those who may diss I think you shoul consider this

I can make a rhyme comlicated as a puzzle

Dangerous and as violenl as a pit bull in a muzzle

But this record is for radio s-t-e-r-e-o

It not to be banned or for some underground mix show

My hearts in my pen every time I begin

Sometimes my lyrics go crazy and I just can't control em my friend

I try to edit what I'm rasppin' about

But I can't write polite my anger just jumps out !!

Perpetrators in the business claim their hard as hell

Talkin' that gangster shit, known they're soft as jell-

Oh! Better chill out before I ill out

And my negative potential just might ne spill out

And then this record won't be gettin' played

I'll save that rap for another day

-Rhyme pays-

Verse four:

The front stage area goes into hysteria

As I start to rhyme and unleash my criteria

Of what is to come during the beat of the drum

And Evil agitates the records with the use of his thumb

Using his intricate moves the rcord stays in the grooves

My body cuts like Jason it's easy to prove

That Evel E is the great. His cuts are real not fake

Not emulated effects or a play back tape

So suckers witness your fate while Evel demonstartes

I'm bout to get off this nic. E. Dog the break - Kick it !

Verse five:

Like me if ya want'a. Diss me if you're gonna

But my jam will still be kickin' on your neighborhood corner

As my bass is max'n out the v.u.s on your box

There'll be no doubt within your mind wheter this MC do rock

Like granite. I planned it. So you could understand it

If someone's talkin' when I'm rhymin'

Then just say. Damn shut up !

While Ice is breakin' the boy don't be fakin'

Maybe they're just jealous of the dollars I'm makin'

But you're down with me. You know god gifted me

Black kids say I'm trech, white kids say I'm nifty

Spell out my name ya go I-C-E-T

But right now it's time for Evel E to hit me!

Verse six:

Rhyme pays. Buys my food every night and day

Pays my rent my bills I guess I'm doin' ok

But when I say rhyme pays. I mean in different ways

Cause rappin' gets a lot of kids out of the streets each day

It makes me feel real nice when someone likes the Ice

Or some young MC asks me for advice

But there will always be rappers who hate Ice T

Maybe I dogged 'em in a battle or just jealousy

Inevitable situation. Sucker rapper frustration

I rhyme too tough to bite. Too intricate for notation

Syllables jumbled. Competitors crumble as they witness mic attack

And the microphone rumbles like hurricane

I maim. Sometimes I go insane

Step toward my rep and i inflict the pain !

No shame Ice capital it's my name !!

Damn there I go illin' out again !!!!
