Ice-t - Ricochet lyrics

* also on "That's How I'm Livin'" EP (Japanese release) [Intro] Yeah, Syndicate's in the house Yeah, Geto Boys in the house Yeah, Donald D's in the house Yeah, Body count's in the house Yeah, Zulu Nation's in the house Yeah, Ice T's in the house, yeah [Verse One] You go on and on and you don't stop Got sticky sneakers from the blood of a shot cop Bailed in the club, I'm leavin' tracks on the white rug Punk tried to rif and he met double-aught slugs I ain't the n***a to step to Out catchin' bodies and the next one could be you Quick on the trigger, yo, I'm a gravedigger Chop up a body and deep six 'em in the river A night-stalkin' psychopath All cops hunt the black male in a ski-mask But I'm too damn clever Will they ever catch me? Never! Because I operate in and out of state Move at a quick rate And never hesitate to take a chump s**er down And my H-K it holds 80 rounds So when you move be careful and don't play And watch for the ricochet Suicide, it's a suicide, yeah (x8) [Verse Two] So shut up motherf**ers as I lay the ink When I'm in Detroit, n***as fight in mink When I'm in Chicago, motherf**ers get buck wild When I'm up in Oakland, n***as roll in huge pile In Atlanta, n***as crash you doors When I'm in Philly, it's a sold out tour In L.A., I max out real hard When I'm in New York, I build with the Gods So don't try to deny me my proper juice E cuts the records and the yellow n***a gets loose No static, just much respect Truck my Rolex when I cruise the projects A fly brother that's hard to figure I punch hoes and I smack up n***as Cause I'm a pimp and a playa Sometimes I bump hip-hop, the other times, Slayer You don't like it well stay out of my f**ing way Duck from the gunshot and watch for the ricochet "Being cool, 'cause i'm ice" (yeah!) "Being cool, 'cause i'm ice, without a doubt" (yeah!) "Being cool, 'cause i'm ice" (yeah!) "the L.A. player" Suicide, it's a suicide, yeah (x3) C'mon yeah (x7) [Verse Three] Yo D., what's up?, s**ers is popping lip Grab the H-K and the dum-dum clip and spread out I'm putting punk's heads out Doors is shut, there's no chance to get out I got the motherf**as tied with bike locks Raise the auto-loader and let off the buckshot {*gunfire sound*} That's how I like to do work {*gunfire sound*} Got guts on my T-shirt Motherf**ers tried to play the Ice Because I rhyme smooth and on TV act nice Soft, that's what you shouldn't have said Now I'm so mad I'm bustin veins in my forehead You want to get off, come on let's rock But have your safety off, and your sh** co*ked Cause when I come to get that a** Leave your whole f**in' block filled with hot bra** So punk, don't make me pop my trunk Show you my amps and my Mossberg pump Cause when I pull it, most n***as run Fool n***as stay and get hit by the ricochet Suicide, it's a suicide, yeah (x8) [Verse Four] n***as wanna know about me and the "L", though We squashed that sh** with me and him about a year ago But there's a new rule starting tonight Diss me on a record, see me, FIGHT! Cause in the days, you used to battle on mics {*gunfire sound*} Now it's '91, I'm using gauges and flashlights Ease back and don't give me no feedback Yo, "Ice cool out", yo, f** that I'm hot, I'm putting n***as in cots Some get knocked out, some just get shot Where'd I get all the juice I use Gotta posse full of brothers with nothing to lose Some just got out, some will never Some beat their cases cause their lawyers were clever I love' em all and they know that's true So they won't blink while they doing a punk like you Freeze motherf**er Get on your knees, hands behind you back Bow your heads, if you will please I'll swing my axe, watch the bodies fall Watch your head bounce off like volleyball So all you motherf**ers down with the fly guy Look me in the face, if you're strong when you walk by And all you punk n***as talking sh** Step to the side, bow your head like a b**h I don't play, you'll get hit by the ricochet You'll get hit by the ricochet You'll get hit by the ricochet Yeah
