[Verse 2: Bronx Style Bob ]
I played ball back in ( name ) Park
The ( name ) on the board, hit three pointers in the dark
I got a scholarship but said: "Yo, forget✦ it "
Goin' straight to the Pro rank, coach, so don't sweat it
The Lakers wanted✦ to pick me, but I said: "Step"
Cause takin'✦ Magic's spot, could be bad for my rep "what"
So he sent me to Chicago, to play in front of.. you know
But then I said: "Either✦ he go or I go"
I gave Jordan✦ a break, then came back to the city✦
You know, cause everybody missed✦ me "right, right, right"
You think I'm lyin?, but brother,✦ you're wrong
As I told you before,✦ my word is bond
[Interlude: Ice-T]
Lies man, man you're crazy✦
Look at Donald✦ D comin'✦ through the door late
We're makin'✦ a record,✦ brother✦
What you're doin' so late, man
What's up, man? "Stop lying"
[Verse 3: Donald D]
My girl was pissed,✦ so she tried to diss
The D, until✦ I showed✦ her my fist
I argued✦ with her in the pouring rain
After✦ the fightin' with her, I missed✦ the train
It was delayed for an hour, so I fell asleep✦
When I woke up, I was on 14th. Street
By the time I got there, it was way too late
Came back uptown✦ and decided to wait
Ran into✦ her cous', and hung with him
Met Billy,✦ Joe, Bob, Frank, Chuck and Slim
Went back to the crib to watch a VCR
And then I had to pick up my father's car
Looked✦ around✦ for my brother,✦ to see where he went
And then I had to pay my mother's✦ rent
I know y'all think I'm lyin', but listen,✦ you're wrong
Like I told you before,✦ my word is bond
[Interlude]
[Ice-T]✦ Lies man, you be late to the show
How you gon' make some money,✦ man?
[Donald]✦ Money?,✦ You talkin'✦ about✦ money?✦
[Ice-T]✦ Man, I got money,✦ man
[Donald]✦ You ain't got no money,✦ man
[Ice-T]✦ Yo, check this out
[Verse 4: Ice-T]
I got so much money✦ that the bank couldn't hold it
Car so dope that I didn't wanna✦ roll it
So many✦ houses,✦ sometimes I forget✦
I brought a yacht and a brand new lear jet
I flew to Paris✦ just for good meal
Then to Rome, to sign a record✦ deal
Off to London,✦ to kick with the Queen "what Queen?"
Back to LA, I bought a football team
I just can't stop spendin' that green
My girl loves✦ the water✦ so I brought baby✦ a submarine
But see, I left my house without my credit✦ cards
I think I left my wallet✦ in my other✦ car
If you could loan me ten, I'd pay you back
Yo man, you're lookin'✦ at me crazy,✦ what's up with that?
You think I'm lyin' but man, you're wrong
As I told you before,✦ my word is bond
[Interlude]
[Bronx Style: ]lyin' man
[Ice-T]✦ yo man, I'll pay you back
Yo, you be talking✦ about✦ them girls you got, man
You ain't got no women,✦ man
[Posse] That's why I went to jail, man
[Ice-T]✦ What's up with your girl, man?
[Bronx Style] alright
[Verse 5: Bronx Style Bob]
Monday✦ morning, walkin'✦ down the block
Saw this girl in a Jag, y'all, and she stopped "aww man"
She said her father✦ casted✦ for the Cosby✦ Show
And she said: "Bob, would you like to go?"
You know, so I went with her, and we chilled
Got her drunk off the eight ball, and we illed✦
She was stupid✦ rich, so I bought myself an island✦
Charged it to her Master✦ charge, I be wildin'✦
So, after✦ that I stepped and she was cryin'
She gave me mansion, yo, why should I be lyin'?
Think I be frontin'? Well homeboys, you're wrong
As I told you before,✦ my word is bond
[Interlude]
[Ice-T]✦ lies
[Bronx Style] Why, why it gotta✦ be all that, why it gotta✦ be all
[Ice-T]✦ look at Donald,✦ he always be lyin' about✦ shows
[Posse] Oh, he, he be lyin'
[Donald✦ D] yo, I ain't be lyin'
[Ice-T]✦ Check him out
[Verse 6: Donald D]
Yo Ice, I did a concert in the White House
And after✦ that me and Donald✦ Trump hung out
And then I knocked Vanity✦ boots in a limo'✦
I rejected Michael Jackson's demo✦
Smacked Freddy✦ Krueger and he didn't reply✦
Hit Mike Tyson✦ in his eye
Sharks around✦ me and I didn't die
Drank a case of Cisco✦ and I didn't get high
You might think I'm lyin, but listen,✦ you're wrong
Like I told you before,✦ my word is bond
[Interlude]
[Posse] You high right now, man
[Nat] No, I'm not (Stop lying)
[Ice-T]✦ Let, let the man with the money✦ get it right for you
[Bronx Style] What money,✦ man?(Stop lying)
[Verse 7: Ice-T]
You think I'm lyin' but I'm tellin'✦ the stone truth
I have been player ever✦ since my youth
In 1st grade I was knockin' kids out cold
In 2nd grade I was truckin' the large gold
In 3rd grade I was checkin' the youth bank
4th grade puttin'✦ gas in Benz my tank
By the 12th I was gamblin' outrageous
I drove through the desert and broke Las Vegas✦
You probably think I'm lyin' but brothers,✦ you're wrong
As I told you before,✦ my word is bond
[Outro]
[Posse] lyin' man, lyin' man
[Ice-T]✦ What you talking✦ about,✦ man?
You and that basketball stuff you talkin'✦ about✦
Donald✦ talkin'✦ 'bout Donald✦ Trump,' man, y'all is crazy✦
Shawnie Mac, what are they talkin'✦ about,✦ man?
My Word is Bond, home boy
[Posse] Don't believe the hype
[Donald]✦ My Word is Bond
[Posse] You be lyin' every✦ time you talk
[Ice-T]✦ Y'all all drunk
[Posse] Yo man, we outta✦ here "Stop lying"
