[Verse 2: Ice-T]
E-M-C-E-E, I-C-E-T,✦ A-N-D, DJ Evil✦ E
Doggin✦ the deck like it's never✦ been done before✦
You had enough? "MORE!"
Here we go, I'm about✦ to blow up
Don't you dare bite my rhymes,✦ I'll make you throw up
Poison✦ soaked✦ in an acid✦ bath
Swallow homeboy, your throat'll need a skin graft
Toss it up, while the DJ known as Evil✦ cuts
You wanna✦ know what's happenin - "WHAT?"
The beat become✦ my soul, I'm goin out of control
Look in my face as my eyeballs roll
Back in my head and the mic glows red
Step in my face and you'll wind up dead
{*SLAP*} Yo, thanks, I needed✦ that
I was posessed by this treacherous track
Watch out "WORD" this ain't no joke
A sucker✦ tried to flex and his arm got broke
Don't make a move that you'll regret✦
Evil✦ E's on the set, hit the deck!
{*scratched "kick it" (4X)*}
[Verse 3: Ice-T]
You start to think and wonder✦ bout how it's done
"An emcee? Maybe I could be one"
Drop the thought, get a job, change your mind
To be a dope MC takes✦ time
Eight years of mine, no time for draggin
You wanna✦ be an MC? "Get off the bandwagon!"
But if it's in your heart, get a pen
Don't stop writin✦ til the inkflow ends
Work and work and don't halfstep
Dog the mic every✦ chance you get
Motivation must be kept
Stay down and build your rep
Yo so let me demonstrate, rappin✦ as a fine art
And when I'm finished, you can take this rap apart✦
Analyze my elements and tactics
First I'm over✦ there, and then I'm back to this
I jumble topics, you won't know where I'll go
Back in your face with a cold but steady✦ flow
You feel the power✦ of the Ice in the first row
You already know what to say, "HOOOOOOOOO!!!"
On the mic is a stone cold vet
Evil✦ E's on the set, hit the deck
{*Evil✦ E scratches for a long time*}
[Verse 4: Ice-T]
I'm in my mode, called✦ the fourth episode
Or the last verse, if you wanna✦ decode✦
So I gotta✦ raise the heat, hype up the beat
Switch the mic from airtight to elite✦
Pounce upon✦ the deck, it ain't wet yet
Let me see how hot you can get
Then I'll turn up the amps, blow out the lights
You're in darkness, then the mic ignites
Glowin✦ like it did before,✦ but even✦ more
The room is lit, the raps are hardcore
Evil✦ cuts the records like a psycho✦ with a switchblade✦
You see a blur -- that's the crossfade✦
Loud and proud, words bombard the crowd
Look up in the air -- you see a mushroom cloud
I kick flavor to a musical track
Too fast to catch, too complex to match
I'm gettin✦ hyped✦ as hype can get
Evil✦ E's on the set! Hit the deck
