ICE S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, VIP
Let's kick it

Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby
All right stop
Collaborate and listen
Ice is back with a brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop?
Yo, I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle

Dance
Go rush the speaker that booms
I'm killin' your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it
You better gangway
You better hit bull's eye
The kid don't play
And if there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla

Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in, the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point, no faking
I'm cooking MC's like a pound of bacon
Burning 'em if you ain't quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
I'm on a roll, it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0
With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby
Waving just to say, "Hi"
Did you stop?
No, I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I bust a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead

Yo, so I continued to A1A Beachfront Ave
Girls were hot, wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghini
Jealous 'cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Ready for the chumps on the wall
The chumps are acting ill because they're so full of eight ball
Gunshots ranged out like a bell
I grabbed my nine, all I heard were shells
Fallin' on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm tryin' to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene
You know what I mean?
They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla

Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town, that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
My style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, this is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice it like a ninja
Cut like a razor blade so fast
Other DJ's say, "Damn"
If my rhyme was a drug
I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic when I kick my juice
If there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla
Ice ice baby, Vanilla ice

Yo man, let's get out of here
Word to your mother

Ice ice baby (too cold)
Ice ice baby (too cold, too cold)




Ice ice baby (too cold, too cold)
Ice ice baby (too cold, too cold)

Overall Meaning

The song “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice is a classic hip hop track that was released in 1989. At the start of the song, the singer acknowledges VIP individuals and then begins rapping about his own abilities as a musician. The chorus repeats the phrase “Ice Ice Baby” multiple times, which has become an iconic part of the song.


The lyrics talk about how the rapper is back with a new invention (his music), which has a strong grasp on him and a powerful flow. He wonders if it will ever stop while bragging about his skills on stage. He then encourages the crowd to dance and rush towards the singers. He declares that he’ll kill their brains with his dope melody, and anything less than the best is a felony. He also commands that they love it or leave it and that he’s not to be played with.


Next, Vanilla Ice talks about cruising around in his convertible, with women waving hello to him. He drives by people, and when the traffic becomes heavy, he becomes concerned about a car theft and the police being involved. He boasts about Miami being the town that produced the original sound and then flaunts his lyrical capabilities. The song ends with the well-known phrase, “too cold,” and then he implores them to leave with a colorful “word to your mother.”
