Rhyme Pays Lyrics - Ice T

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 !!!!
