[00:00.36]Original gangster
[00:20.26]Ten years ago I used to listen to rappers flow
[00:22.61]Talkin' about the way they rocked the mic at the disco
[00:25.09]I liked how that sh*t was goin' down
[00:27.19]Dreamt about ripping the mic with my own sound
[00:29.77]So I tried to write rhymes somethin' like them
[00:31.84]My boys said That ain't you Ice
[00:33.29]That sh*t sounds like them so I sat back thought up a new track
[00:36.61]Didn't fantasize kicked the pure facts
[00:39.16]Motherf**kers got scared 'cause they was unprepaired
[00:41.53]Who would tell it how it really was Who dared
[00:43.73]A motherf**ker from the west coast L A south central fool
[00:46.80]Where the crips and the bloods play
[00:48.45]When I wrote about parties it didn't fit
[00:50.86]Six in the mornin' that was the real sh*t

[01:11.40]When I wrote about parties someone always died
[01:13.52]When I tried to write happy yo I knew I lied
[01:15.91]'Cause I lived a life of crime why play ya blind
[01:18.37]A simple look and anyone with two cents would know
[01:20.47]I'm a h******e player from he streets
[01:22.42]Rappin' bout h******e topics over h******e drum beats
[01:25.66]A little different than the average though
[01:27.68]Jet you through the fast lane drop ya on death row
[01:30.32]'Cause anybody who's been there knows that life ain't so lovely
[01:33.29]On the blood-soaked fast track that invincible sh*t don't work
[01:36.99]Throw ya in a joint you'll be comin' out feet first
[01:39.74]So I blast the mic with my style
[01:41.81]Sometimes I'm ill the other times buck wild
[01:44.32]But the science is always there
[01:46.34]I'd be a true sucker if I acted like I didn't care
[01:48.94]I rap for brothers just like myself
[01:50.91]Dazed by the game in a quest for extreme wealth
[01:53.69]But I kick it to you hard and real
[01:55.85]One wrong move and you caps peeled
[01:58.34]I ain't no super hero I ain't no Marvel Comic
[02:00.62]But when it comes to game I'm atomic
[02:02.60]At droppin' it straight point blank and untwisted
[02:05.04]No imagination needed cause I lived it
