[Ice-T]
Yeah, Shit is going down again!
This motherfuckers want me back in! Fuck!

(Word up, our niggas is strapped, ready for war!) [Repeat: x4]
Get out the H-K!
Fuck!
Niggaz talking crazy cause they say
That I kill one-a-day motherfucker
Sucker ass busters, did he, did not,
I got more drama with the niggaz from the other side
Call my nigga Rich and he's right!

[Big Rich]
Fuck them niggaz I got a truck full of 38, some bullet shields
Ice, we can send this niggaz all to Hell
I never like them niggaz from the gat
Go use to braken my craps and fuck all the motherfuckin hoes!

[Ice-T]
Made another car-hit 30 Killers on the hip,
Ready to rock, packin, eggin and Glocks
Man connections who trips the question
Niggaz on the way to play in a laser rain.

[Big Rich]
Nigga you got two strikes and I got two strikes
We can feudally no fuckin witness tonight
But if this is what they want is like Christmas to me
It's been a long time since the Big Rich caught a body

[Ice-T]
Fuck it, I Like the way you think my man

We bash abd creeo about 12:30, dirty
Nigga be ready to roll, I know you heard me!

[Big Rich]
Nigga it's on, so don't trip I'm down

Bless the nigga in the Face kill his fuckin hoe,

(Word up, our niggas is strapped, ready for war!) [Repeat: x8]

Streets full of hardcore stone-face Killers,
One Love my nigga Big Rich puff

[Big Rich]
Yo, some niggaz hit the corner with the lights of Ice,
That shit don't look nuthin nice,
But if this niggaz wanne rollin my Hood,

[Ice-T]

When they shoot and stop car look like confetti
Went my ass home jump back in the bed G

When they know my posse is crazy and they down to bust
Big Rich take no shit from these busta ass tricks
Check your punk ass nigga like check a bitch

[Ice-T]
I got no love for no nigga flippin, trippin on my fam
Got damn, I make L.A. hot as Vietnam
But ill niggaz should be left alone,
Please excuse me, while I rest my dome!

(Word up, our niggas is strapped, ready for war!) [Repeat: x8]

They want me back in

They want me back in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ice-T's "They Want Me Back In" paint a violent and dangerous picture of gang warfare. Throughout the song, Ice-T and Big Rich discuss the threats against them and their plans to retaliate. The phrase "back in" is likely referring to prison or a gang lifestyle that they previously left behind. The repeated line "our niggas are strapped, ready for war" emphasizes the violent and deadly nature of the situation. The lyrics also touch on the importance of loyalty and protecting one's family and crew.


The song is a reflection of the gang culture and violence that was prevalent in Ice-T's life and in the larger society at the time. It speaks to the desperation and hopelessness felt by those who are trapped in cycles of violence and struggle to find a way out.


Interestingly, Ice-T originally started his career as a rapper by taking on the persona of a gangster in songs like "6 in the Mornin'" and "Colors." However, as he gained notoriety, he used his platform to speak out against police brutality and social injustice, becoming an influential figure in the world of hip hop activism.
