Ice
Ishues Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm American Pie, get a slice
I'm what you call ice
I'm rested in my showcase for a real good price
About as much as a car, but not too much for a star
Some cat paid cash on me so we could look flashy at the bar
I draw too much attention, really, but this clown is really silly
He's like "I'm just a flosser babay" so come and get me
Chickens crowd around just to see
"I like your chain, can I chill with you in VIP?" ...stupid!
He got drunk, he got high
He got crunk with the guys
But if he woulda realized, he woulda watched for the hungry eyes
Now I, feel like someone's watching meee
And if I didn't know better, I'd think that they were plottin' (yo, stick this nig')
I'm hangin' from this cat's neck, making eye contact
With thugs that need 2 ID's to cash checks
Suddenly I see them whispering like they was in the huddle
While this fella's cuddled up with a chick, poppin' some bubbles
And its double trouble, cause he really don't care
And the worst thing you could be right now is unaware
I hang helplessly, waiting for the deal to go down
Thinking, "Damn, how did I ever get mixed up with this clown?", because I'm

[Chorus 2x]
Ice, people spend they whole lives trying to chase me
Ice, people spend a good price just to replace me
Ice, I could get you play from the illest dimes, cause I'm
Ice, I could get you slain in the illest crimes

[Verse 2]
I'm on the dance floor swinging
With my brother, he's sitting on his hands all blingin', we mixing it up
Plus, he got Cris' in his cup, and its spilling on the floor
Grindin' on a shorty, plotting on her, looking to score
Cause he's a playa, and his neck is frosty like the Himalayas
Chickens like that, he spilled a drink on me, "I'll be right back"
He went into the bathroom to wipe me off
When two cats came in behind him and went right to the stalls
They nodded like they was saying "What up" but no words were spoken
They had they back to us, we couldn't see what they was holding
My owner was too drunk to even see what was happening
He turned around to leave, one cat gave him some dap and said
"Yo, your chain is hot, son, but I'm too broke to cock one
So gimme yours unless you really want to catch a hot one"
I felt helpless, this cat was about to die because of me
That's when I felt his hand grab me, my owner yelled and
That nigga pulled out a weapon from his pelvis
And shot him one time, the bullet came out his spine
Over the music you could hear the shot *gunshot*, everybody started running
My owner, his body dropped next to the sink
The two thugs ran, because this wasn't part of the plan
He put me in his pocket, put his pistol back in his pants
And jumped in the whip, and where we went? No one knows
But he took away someone's soul, left his body dead cold, you know?

[Chorus 2x]

[Outro]
*car starting, music playing in background*
Word..
Is that how it is out here now?
Niggaz trying to die for they chain now?
You stupid fucking..
(I think you killed him!)
So what?
I'm hungry out here man, I gotta eat
Ain't got time for all these clown niggaz thinking they sweet out here and shit
Guess we home free on this one though huh?
*siren*




Oh, no, no, no, not tonight! There's a cop
Yo, turn that down man, turn that down

Overall Meaning

The song "Ice" by Ishues is a vivid story of how materialism can lead to dangerous consequences. In the first verse, the rapper describes himself as ice, representing a valuable piece of jewelry that someone would want to steal or even kill for. The verse follows a man who bought the chain, but he is not careful enough when he goes out to a club. He draws too much attention to himself with the flashy piece of jewelry and ends up getting robbed and killed. In the second verse, the rapper continues with the same theme as his owner goes to a club with him and tries to pick up women. However, as he goes to the restroom, two men rob him at gunpoint for the chain. The owner is too drunk to notice the danger and ends up getting shot and killed.


The chorus repeats the warning about ice that it can either bring someone great wealth or lead to their demise. The lyrics highlight the dangerous side of materialism and the lengths that people would go for their possessions. The outro is a reflection on the violent culture that surrounds materialism and the senseless loss of life. The rapper raises the question, "Is that how it is out here now?" which suggests that such acts of violence for material possessions are commonplace.
