409
Ice-T Lyrics

It's time to start the party if ya'll don't mind
I'm ready to get this party started if it's alright with you

Me and "E" clean our Adidas with 409
Me and my companion clean our Adidas shoes using 409 cleaners

He rocks the highs,I dog the bass
My companion focuses on the highs while I focus on the bass in our music

Ya want to hear us rock? Here's a taste!!!
If you want to hear us play our music, here's a sample for you

Every day I make a sandwich with ham and cheese Use miracle whip,I don't like mayonnaise I eat a can of beans,good for my heart About 1 a.m.,I always.....
I eat a ham and cheese sandwich every day using miracle whip instead of mayonnaise. I consume beans as they are good for my heart. Around 1 a.m., I usually do something specific

Far from me to bite anothers rhyme They're just too easy to write I do'em two at a time
I don't intend to copy someone else's rhyme because they are too easy to create. Instead, I write two rhymes at once

Like doggin' the wax and ya don't quit And if you didn't like that then suck my....
I'm DJing and constantly scratching the vinyl record without stopping. If anybody doesn't like that, they can suck my genitals

Dictations how I write my raps Cold maxin' with two freaks upon my lap Chillin' on the phone,bookin' more def shows An' if the freaks get illy I smack the....
I write my raps using dictation. I relax while sitting with two attractive women. I'm booking more shows while also talking to others on the phone. If the women act out of line, I'll punish them

Whole days of my life are spent inside my bed Just maxin' an' relaxin' like I'm at club med Ya say you like this record,you think it's fun? Party people get stupid we just begun!!!
I spend most of my days lying in bed, trying to relax and just chill. If you like my music, then get ready for more because the party has just begun

You're get,get,gettin' real stupid As the beat hits your body get ill!!! You ain't dumb you paid dollars to party go off!! The girl you're dancin' with has got great hips bug out!! Go on homeboy and grab her.....
You're getting excited as the music hits your body. You're not foolish for spending money to party. The girl you're dancing with has exceptional hips, so make a move on her

Tape recorder turn up the bass No time to waste just dog the place are-are-are-Rocket like a missile in space Evil E keeps his 1200s in an anvil case
Turn up the bass on your cassette player because we're going to party. We have no time to waste, let's make the most of it. Our music will move through the air at rocket-like speed. Evil E keeps his DJ gear in a sturdy case

We fly T.W.A.,Pan Am,P.S.A To places close to home,far away L.A.,New York,Detroit,Miami If I see a girl and like her then I let her see my....
We fly on various airlines to reach different locations, both near and far from home. We travel to cities like L.A., New York, Detroit, and Miami. If I see a woman I'm attracted to, then I show her my genitals

Jam rockin's how I got my fame,Ice capital T Evil E's his name If you can't see who's rockin' you must be blind You better clean your gazelles with some 409!!!
I became famous through the art of jamming and performing rock music. My name is Ice-T while my companion's name is Evil E. If you can't see us performing, then you must be blind. You better clean your fashionable glasses with 409 cleaner to see us better

Turn up your stereo,equalize treble Bass be kickin' stupid hard as metal On the mic tonight that's right your rhyme opponent M.C. Ice T just microphonin'
Turn up the volume on your stereo and adjust the treble. The bass in our music is powerful like hard metal. Tonight, I'm your opponent on the microphone as M.C. Ice-T

33 and 1/3 revolutions per minute This record is def because my heart is in it Vocals laid by the Ice,tempos tight and precise Special effects will be created by an editor's splice
This record plays at 33 and 1/3 revolutions per minute. This record is great because I pour my heart into it. The vocals are provided by me while the beats are tight and accurate. The sound engineer added special effects through editing

The funk is in it,ya dig it so stop that frontin' Bust a move to my groove work your body do somethin'
The music is funky, so stop pretending that you don't like it. Get up and dance to the beat, move your body and do something exciting

No way in the world that you can deny my method As my record rotates,my words get more impressive
There's no denying my music-making technique. As the record rotates, my lyrics become more impressive with each verse

I'm an M.C., Evil's my Dj on Sire Records not M.C.A. C.B.S.,Capitol,cause they move too slow Now Sire/Warner Bros. clocks all the dough As the record revolves money's gettin' made A.S.C.A.P. pays me every time it's played
I'm a Master of Ceremonies, and Evil is my Disk Jockey on Sire Records, not M.C.A. Additionally, I've worked with C.B.S. and Capitol, but they move too slowly. Sire/Warner Bros. now handles all my records and earns money with every rotation. In addition, I receive payment from A.S.C.A.P. every time my music is played

I chill in def leathers pure silks and suede And the gold around my neck will never fade Down with my Syndicate organized rhyme Kickin' def tempos that I design
I relax while wearing fashionable leather, silk, and suede outfits. The gold around my neck will always remain trendy. I'm part of a well-organized rap group while creating impressive beats and lyrics that I design myself

And if you can't hear'em that's such a crime You better wash your dirty ears with some 409
If you can't hear my impressive tunes, then you're committing a shameful crime. You better clean your dirty ears using 409 cleaner

I always rhyme elite,stay on beat Travel in a posse when I walk the street Loved to say my rhymes when I used to max Now I don't speak much,I save my words for wax
I always use quality rhymes and stay on beat. I travel with a posse while walking on the streets. I used to enjoy rapping while hanging out with friends, but now, I don't speak much as I'm saving my lyrics for my next record

I just want to make a little point in this song With a little nonsense we can all get along and on and on Till the break'a break of dawn This jam will never play out because the grooves too strong
I want to express my thoughts in this song. Through a little nonsensical entertainment, we can all have a good time and keep going until the dawn breaks. This song will never end because the groove is too strong

Guys grab a girl,girls grab a guy If a guy wants a guy,please take it outside I want to make ya enjoy yourself On the mic tonight Ice T!!Who else?
Guys should find a girl to dance with, while girls should find a guy. However, if a guy wants to dance with another guy, they should take their moves outside. I'm here to ensure that everyone has a good time. On the microphone tonight, it's Ice T, no one else.

Evil's on the cuts,Henry Gee's shot gun Islam's my producer,Bambattas son Bronx Style Bob's cold watchin' my back Melle Mel's just layin' for some punks to act wack Grandmaster Caz and Donald D ,Scott La Rock Red Alert,Chuck Chill Out If you're down with my crew you will be fine But if you ill we'll get dirty-bring your 409!!
Evil's operating the turntable, while Henry Gee is acting as a guard. Islam is my producer, who happens to be Bambatta's son. Bronx Style Bob is watching my back, while Melle Mel is keeping an eye out for people acting foolish. Grandmaster Caz and Donald D, Scott La Rock, Red Alert, and Chuck Chill Out are all part of my crew. As long as you support us, we'll welcome you. But, if you give us problems, we'll get dirty and use 409 cleaner to beat you to a pulp.

409......
409 is a brand of cleaner used to clean everything from shoes to glasses, mentioned repeatedly in the song, primarily used to signify that if other things don't work, then using 409 is the last resort.
