|
I'm livin' large as possible,posse unstoppable |
|
Style topical,vividly optical |
|
Listen,you'll see'em sometimes i'll be'em |
|
Cops,critics and punks,necer ever wanta see me in power |
|
Well,that's too bad,apocalypse now i'm back and i'm mad |
|
We're comin',you're runnin' cold and cunning |
|
Ice t on the mic,topgunning |
|
After your neck,checkin' respect,makin' you sweat |
|
Rhyme syndicate boy in effect |
|
The rap motivator,teacher,talker,night rhyme stalker |
|
Words thrillin',so real they're chillin',the hit author |
|
Gettin' louder than a shot gun,you don't want none |
|
Rhyme pays was the name of the album |
|
But that was number one,this is the number two |
|
The posse grew,we're gonna break through |
|
Power |
|
Somebody line up the suckers who refuse to recognize the truth |
|
Tie up the punks who refuse to understand the youth |
|
My posse's growin' and it's gettin' larger every day |
|
Detroit,chi-town,pittsburgh,houston,l.a. |
|
Come on,come on,come on,toys,let's play |
|
Circle the calendar,perpetrator doomsday |
|
Ice t fool man of my own full grown |
|
I cause havoc when i speak upon the microphone |
|
I'm outspoken,no jokin',get in my face your jaw will get broken |
|
Layin' it,sayin' it,then you're playing it |
|
Lyrics so heavy that you might try weighin' it |
|
Hated by many but i hate'em back |
|
Loved by troopers who know where it's at |
|
You might like me,might think i'm wack |
|
But don't step to me 'cause the boy stays strapped |
|
I'm taking no shorts,hatin' the courts,hatin' the judges |
|
Punk da's with their personal grudges |
|
I hate the clubs that think with their butts |
|
No hats,no jeans,no sneakers,no what? |
|
No beepers,no gold? yo kiss my ass |
|
We'll wait and see who gets the last laugh |
|
We'll have the power |
|
Power (x3) |
|
Power it starts with p like pussy |
|
She knows she's got it,she doesn't worry,does she? |
|
Spendin' your cash,leavin' you in the trash |
|
While your little head's thinkin',they're gone in a dash |
|
They got it,know it,that's why they show it |
|
The power of sex,if man could overthrow it |
|
He'd be king in a day,no way.we get rich,hard,give it away |
|
We're weak and as we speak,the girls are hawkin' |
|
Sizin' me up straight out as i'm talkin' |
|
But you gotta have control if you want the gold |
|
I don't wanta be alone like stallone |
|
So i keep my mind thinkin' 'bout the green |
|
And stop dwellin' on the in-between |
|
I got the power |
|
Power |
|
I'm on a mission mackin' hard as a hammer |
|
Take my picture,i might take your camera |
|
My posse might move,and they move fast |
|
A fool's move could be a punk's last |
|
Ain't no criminal although i used to be |
|
Ain't no new jack rappin' ain't new to me |
|
I been makin' records on wax since 1982 |
|
Now it's 1988 finally i'm coming through |
|
That adds up to six years of makin' ok jams,but now i'm mad |
|
Here comes the body slam |
|
Turnin' out concerts,house'n the industry |
|
Lovin' all the fly girls screamin' for ice t |
|
Rollin' with the syndicate my unstoppable battalion |
|
38 solid gold my medalion |
|
Gainin' velocity,momentum and energy |
|
Ice capital t |
|
I got the power |
|
Power |
|
So you say that i'm a fake think,you really must be a fool |
|
I been to jail more times than you have probably been in school |
|
Shot at,shot back,hit,and seen my buddies killed |
|
That's the foundation upon the raps of ice-t are built |
|
I say what i think,the system does stink |
|
Money you walk,you short,you're writin' from the klink |
|
Come on,what's up,you know the laws are full of bull |
|
Prey on the lame,release those with pull |
|
Power!i know you wanta try it |
|
Well check out money can buy it |
|
Control and mold the world to do your wishin' |
|
The knowledge of power is mine,so just listen |
|
Money controls the world and that's it |
|
And once you got it,then you can talk shit |
|
Power |
|
You have the power |
|
Power |
|
You have the power |
|
I got the power(fade out) |
