[Verse 3]
Two weeks ago✦ I was out at the disco✦
Two brothers stepped up to me and said "Hey yo, Ice
We don't think you're down, what set ya claiming?"
E drew the Glock, yo my set's aiming!✦
Dumb motherfucker,✦ try to roll on me, please!
I'm protected by a thousand emcees✦
And hoodlums and hustlers and bangers✦ with jheri curls
We won't even✦ count the girls
'Cause they got my back and I got theirs too
Fight for the streets when I'm on Oprah or Donahue
They try to sweat a nigga but they just didn't figure✦
That my wit's as quick as a hair trigger
"He's not your everyday-type prankster"
I'm Ice-T,✦ the original✦ gangster✦

[Verse 4]
So step to me if you think that you're ready✦ to
Got on your bullet✦ proof? Well mine's✦ going right thru
This ain't no game to me, it's hollow fame to me
Without respect from streets, so I don't claim be
The hardest motherfucker✦ on earth
Catch me slipping, I can't even✦ get worked✦
But I don't slip that often,✦ there's✦ a coffin
Waiting for the brother who comes✦ off soft when
The real fucking shit goes down, take a look around✦
All them pussies can be found
They talk a mean fight but fight like hoes
I'm from South Central, fool, where everything goes
Snatch you out your car so fast you'll get whiplash
Numbers on your rooftop for when the copters pass
Gangbangers✦ don't carry✦ no switchblades
Every✦ kid's got a Tec-9 or a hand grenade
Thirty-seven killed✦ last week in a crack war
Hostages tied up and shot in the liquor store
Nobody✦ gives✦ a fuck
"The children have to go to school!" Well, moms, good luck!
'Cause the shit's fucked✦ up bad I use my pad and pen
And my lyrics break out mad
I try to write about✦ fun and the good times✦
But the pen yanks away✦ and explodes and destroys the rhyme
Maybe it's just 'cause of where I'm from
L.A. *Gunshot* that was a shotgun!
