Depths of Hell
Ice-T Lyrics

Now hear dis!
Listen up!

All bad man what dey a know
All the tough guys out there

The original bad man dey a know, seen?
The true gangsters know

Come talk wit reality
Let's have a real conversation

An' any guy who nah like dey got shot in ? face
And anyone who disagrees gets a bullet to the face

No Ice-T, come talk wit reality star
Ice-T knows the reality, let him speak

Tell dem bout da endin of da world today.. COME!
Let them know about the impending doom of the world

I got a attitude as thick as a convict's
I have a tough and resilient attitude

Bomb ticks, my heart beats as I rhyme over hard s***
As I rap over intense beats, my heart beats fast

Watch this, the n**** that you didn't think could do
Witness the ability of a person you underestimated

Break through with the rhythm that'll rock your whole crew
Achieve success with music that will impress everyone

Thought you knew; I ain't no punk or no pooh-butt
You thought you understood, but I'm no weakling

Step to me, the cops are still diggin n****z up
If you mess with me, you'll end up dead or in trouble with the law

What's up? What's up? What's up? You want to try your luck
Are you daring enough to take a chance against me?

You move you weave you bob you got stuck
You tried to evade but got caught

And now you're trippin with your f***in brain
Now you're panicking and losing control

You never seen so much blood pour through one vein
You've never witnessed so much violence and bloodshed

You try to scream, you choke
You attempt to scream but can't

You try to run, your legs are broke
You try to escape but your legs are injured

You're bulletproof I hope..
I hope you thought you were invincible

Yo, I ain't no n**** to flex, but I will flip
I'm not one to show off, but I can become aggressive

F*** up a n**** and dropkick his f***in b****
Beat up a man and attack his girlfriend

I love to squabble and I'm good widdit
I enjoy fighting and I'm skilled at it

So if you want some n**** come get it
If you want to fight, I'm ready

I ain't trippin n**** trippin at all
I'm not bothered by anyone's nonsense

Yo, I'm f***in walkin over weak rapper's downfalls
I'm surpassing the failures of weak rappers

It ain't my fault they fell, it ain't my fault I sell
It's not my responsibility that they failed, it's not my fault I succeed

I pull my a** up from the depths of hell
I rise up from the lowest of lows

Lawd! Jib-bibbidy-bong, jib-bibbidy-be-bong-ska-dang
Expression of surprise or astonishment

Daddy Nitro an' Ice-T come wid a different some-thang
Daddy Nitro and Ice-T bring something unique

Comin out de ghetto tings are wild like pure 'ell
In the ghetto, things are extremely chaotic

Nuff man get ? in my firebomb sale
Many people suffer from my explosive actions

Some a sell coke but the music we a sell
Some sell drugs, but we sell music

We no inna doubt, we don't want no ambulance bell
We have no uncertainty, we don't need any help

While other lyrics are full of our style we fill up our clientele
While other artists imitate us, we attract a loyal fanbase

You punks are jealous cause I'm rollin in fly s***
You're envious because I have luxurious possessions

My s***, all paid for and I don't owe no guy s***
My things are fully paid for and I don't owe anyone anything

F*** you, it ain't my fault your a** is on empty
It's not my responsibility that you're broke

Thought you was it, but you're smooth gettin pimped G..
You thought you were important, but you're being taken advantage of

.. I ain't no hoe fool
I'm not a weak and vulnerable person

Got much respect for the new and the old school
I have great admiration for both the current and past generations

But many rappers can rip mics but can't count..
Many rappers are skilled lyrically but lack financial literacy

.. zero bank amounts
They have no money in the bank

Word and many critics are hot cause hard rap hits
Many critics are angry because of aggressive rap songs

They like to make it all soft that we pop s***
They prefer softer music instead of our hardcore style

F*** that, I'll die before I let the hardcore go
I won't compromise my hardcore style, even if it means death

Cause I'm a n**** from the G-H-E-T-T-O
Because I come from the ghetto

I got a posse who's airtight, quick to fight
I have a loyal and united group of friends who are ready to fight

And got the power to continue or end the night
We have the ability to determine the outcome of any situation

And if you stepped on wrong, then you're a done kid
If you cross us, you're finished

The yellow tape's in the club because one did
There is police investigation in the club because of a crime

I got no pity so don't ask me for f***in any
I have no sympathy, so don't ask me for anything

I'll break a bum off but you n****z can't get a penny
I will beat someone up, but you won't get any money

When I was broke, I stole my gold, I pawned
When I was poor, I sold my valuable possessions

I lived the life of a hustler off and on
I experienced the lifestyle of a hustler sporadically

I'm just a brother that lived to tell
I'm someone who survived and has a story to tell

I brought my a** up from the depths of hell
I lifted myself up from the lowest point in life

Come! In a de ghetto tings are wild round de clock
In the ghetto, things are always chaotic

Some man a smoke crack and some man a fire shot
Some people are addicted to crack and others are shooting guns

Me tell de people dem laws, that we no inna dat
I inform people that we don't engage in such activities

If a guy try dat thing we get them sixteen shotta
If someone tries to start trouble, we shoot them sixteen times

It's a lovely night ?? ?? off de chatta
It's a great night, everything is quiet

Easy Ice-T make them no say you a mark-a
Be careful, Ice-T, so they don't think you're an easy target

Anyway we go on I bet a no say we stop
No matter what happens, we won't give up

Wit lyrics and de music and right on de ?
With our lyrics and music, we're on the right track

EASE UP and come again my selector
Take it easy and repeat, my DJ

All over de world is only for pain an' sufferin
All over the world, there is only pain and suffering

That's why Ice-T and Daddy Nitro come wit the reality thing
That's why Ice-T and Daddy Nitro bring the reality to light

Nice this everytime star
This is great every time

Man like Ice-T 'pon the ?? man
Ice-T is the man

Come in star, one last time and teach dem bout reality
Come in, star, one more time and educate them about reality

Now watch dis, COME!
Now pay attention to this!

I met this girl who act like I owed her somethin
I encountered a girl who expected something from me

Nothin, all I owed her was some good steady f***in
But all I owed her was intimacy

F*** that, not the one that's gonna fall on no hoe trap
I won't be trapped by any woman

Ease back b****, before you need all your teeth back..
Back off, before I knock out your teeth

.. I ain't no f***in mark
I'm not an easy target

Made all my money workin bowcutters in the dark
I earned my money through illegal activities

Snatch bars and cars and vice grips
I steal money, cars, and use weapons

Long handled sledgehammers, saws and wire snips
I use heavy tools and weapons for my criminal activities

I got an ill side that drips from my brain at times
I have a dark and twisted side that emerges occasionally

It still thinks of the psycho and brutal crimes
It thinks of violent and brutal crimes

I still remember when I had a low cash flow
I still recall the time when I had very little money

No hoes, no cars, no gear no dough
No women, no cars, no fancy clothes, no money

And times got wicked..
And things became extremely difficult

.. I even remember havin to sell all my pawn tickets
I even had to sell the tickets for my pawned items

But suckers spread out and they left me with few friends
But when things got tough, my friends abandoned me

But that's who wit me as we f*** up the true ends
But those who stayed with me are the ones who will succeed

So don't be trippin if your luck's gone bad, be glad
Don't get upset if you're experiencing bad luck, be thankful

It'll empty out the fake f***in friends you had
It will expose the false friends you had

Then get yourself together, n**** aim straight
Collect yourself and stay focused

Shoot point blank at your goals, work hard and wait
Aim directly at your goals and be patient

You can do it even if you fell
You can achieve it even if you fail

I brought my a** back from the depths of hell
I managed to recover from a terrible situation

Cause we are serious, en-ter-tain-ers
We are serious entertainers

Talk about de Ice-T, he no joker
Don't underestimate Ice-T

Cause we are serious, en-ter-tain-ers
We are serious entertainers

Talk about de Daddy Nitro me no joker
Don't underestimate Daddy Nitro

Me come and pull up my lyrics and full up my style
I come with my lyrics and unique style

And full up our lingual
And fill up our language

As me sit upon de riddim I'ma sit on proper
As I sit on the rhythm, I'm in total control

As me flow upon de riddim like a rockin of de gong
As I flow on the rhythm like the sound of a gong

Me sit upon de riddim like a true ??
I dominate the rhythm like a true champion

Man no listen Daddy Nitro like a fierce ??
Listen to Daddy Nitro like a fierce warrior

Me flow upon de mic from a ?? area
I rap with confidence from a specific area

Pam pamma, original chat masta
I am the original master of chat (rap)

Me pam pamma, original chat masta
I am the original master of chat (rap)

Me pam pamma, me come fi set fi dance pon fiyah
I come to ignite the dancefloor

An' if it's on, well you must fi chant up hiyah
And if it's on, you must raise your voice

Me say dis a Daddy Nitro steppin ?? ??
This is Daddy Nitro stepping up

Come down, no try to diss and no dismiss de kid
Don't try to disrespect or disregard me

As me sit upon de riddim wit de man Ice-T
As I dominate the rhythm with Ice-T

All of de ma**ive up here listen to me
Everyone in the audience, pay attention to me

Respect me come from inner New York Ci-ty
I demand respect, I come from the heart of New York City

Die gon test me, man go dead and buried, COME!
If anyone tests me, I will kill them, come at me!

Ease up man, FIYAH
Calm down, fire

Wicked every time.. woy! Woy! Woy! Woy!
