[Verse One]

Magnificent rhymer, I'm the ill beat designer

If they ask you if I'm def, don't front and say kinda

Merciless, meticulous, so fresh it's ridiculous

I'm raised in the heart of Los A-N-G-E-L-E-S



King word connector, the vocal projector

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

Always adventurous voice some say is sensuous

Now, 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 whether your name's Lucy, Terry, Laura or Cindy

Ice got beef and this ain't Wendy's



Bust a 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 cash

Rhyme pays!!



[Verse Two]

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 lips, she got them 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 the set

Because my jams be crazy, 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 should consider this

I can make a rhyme complicated as a puzzle

Dangerous and as violent 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 rappin' 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, know'n they're soft as jell-



Oh! I better chill out before I ill out

And my negative potential just might 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 record stays in the groove

My boy cuts like Jason, it's easy to prove

That Evil E is the great, his cuts are real not fake

Not emulated effects or a play back tape



So suckers witness your fate while Evil demonstrates

I'm bout to get off this mic, 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 whether 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 Evil E to hit me!



[Verse Six]

Rhyme pays, buys my food every night and day

It 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 jumble, competitors crumble as they witness mic attack

And the microphone rumbles like hurricane



I maim, sometimes I go insane

Step toward my rap and I inflict the pain!

No shame Ice capital T's my name!!

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



-Rhyme Pays-
