Ice Cream
Raekwon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw down some money
The ice cream man is comin'

Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched (the ice cream man is comin')
And scooped in my ice cream truck, Wu tears it up
Yo, honey dip, summertime fine, Jheri drippin'
See you on Pitkins with a bunch of chickens, how you're cliquin'
I kept shootin' strong notes as we got close
She rocked rope, honey throat smellin' like Impulse
Your whole shell baby's wicked like Nimrod
Caught me like a fresh-water scrod, or may I not be God?
Attitude is very rude, boo, crabby like seafood
It turns me on like Vine's Cee Allah Rule
They call me Starky Love, hon', check the strategy
By any means, Shirley Temple curls was done by Billie Jeans
Black Misses America, your name is Erica, right, true
Lazy eyeball, small feet, six shoe
Caramel complexion, breath smellin' like cinnamon
Excuse me, hon', the Don mean no harm, turn around again
Goddamn, backyard's bangin' like a Benzi
If I was jiggy, you'd be spotted like Spuds McKenzie
I'm high powered, put Adina Howard to sleep
Yo, pardon, that bitch been on my mind all week, but, uh
Back to you Maybelline Queen, let's make a team
You can have anythin' in this world except cream
So what you wanna do? What you wanna do?
Let's go ahead and walk these dogs and represent Wu

Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe (throw down some money)
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched (the ice cream man is comin')
And scooped in my ice cream truck, Wu tears it up

Shaolin's finest, what up, boo? Peace, Your Highness
Yo, I'm loungin', big dick style, y'all niggas is the flyest
Moves you're makin', too fly, jewels are shakin'
Not a rape patient, you're lookin' good fly-colored Asian
Ghettos, them is your hometown, we can go the whole round
After that, I'm shootin' downtown
I'm rockin' hats and your wig is all intact
Who's that queen bee chick, eyes pearly black?
Freaks be movin' in fly sneaks
Two finger rings and gold teeth and ain't afraid to hold heat
So when I step in the square, dear
You better have cream to share
Ricans, ven aqui, yeah

Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched (the ice cream man is comin')
Scooped in my ice cream truck, who tears it up

Black chocolate girl wonder, shake ground like thunder
Politic to your deficit step, gimme your number
Your sexy persuasive ta-ta's and thighs
Catch my eyes like highs, I want your bodily surprise
Double dime some time, ice cream you got me fallin' out
Like a cripple, I love you like I love my dick size
Ooh, baby, I miss you
Your sweet tender touches
Take pulls off the Dutches
Orgasm in my mind-state, mastuerbate in your clutches
I want you for self
Like wealth, so play me closely
Bitches paranoia for the sting, who want the most of me?
Only a hard dozen wanna be callin' me cousin
Thirsty for my catalog, baby, shoppin' spree you're lovin'
Call me if you wanna get dug like the pockets
I jizz 'em like a giant, break wombs outta the sockets

(The ice cream man is comin')
Wu-tang in the cut, for real niggas, what?
It's the after party and bitches wanna fuck

Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched
Scooped in the ice cream truck, Wu tears it up

Ice cold bitches melt down when in my clutch
And what they titties sucked, ice cream
Yeah, your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched
Scooped in the ice cream truck, who tears it up
Ice cold bitches melt down when in the clutch
They want they titties sucked, ice cream

One love to my chocolate deluxes, keep your nails done
And your wigs tight, word up
One love to my butter pecan Ricans for callin' me papi
That's for real
One love to caramel sundaes with the cherries on top
Yeah
And big up to my French vanillas
Parlez-vous, français? Mi amor, merci, oui oui, bon bons




And all that good stuff
That good stuff

Overall Meaning

The song "Ice Cream" by Raekwon, a member of the Wu-Tang Clan, is a classic from the album "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx," released in 1995. The song is an ode to the women that the group encounters in their daily lives, comparing them to the different flavors of ice cream. The song starts with the ice cream truck jingle, and from there, the lyrics get graphic and explicit as they describe the women, their beauty, and their sexual prowess. The different flavors of ice cream symbolize the different types of stylings and swag that the women possess, with each flavor representing a different type of woman who catches the attention of the Wu-Tang Clan.


The lyrics in the song are cleverly written and filled with wordplay and metaphors that make it fun to listen to. In addition to the sexual content, there's a sense of playfulness in the song, with the ice cream metaphors lightening the mood a bit. The chorus line "Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts" suggests that the song is about sex, and the different types of ice cream are used to express how much they love and appreciate the different types of women.

It's good but not in the top 20.
Above the clouds,
Full clip,
Liquid Swords,
Bang your head (underdog remix),
1-800 suicide,
Furious anger,
Can it be all so simple,
How will I make it,
The worst,
For what it was,
The projects PJays,
Over here,
Les coulisses de l'angoisse,
Mon clan,
Entrer dans la légende,
Cherche pas à comprendre,
Shit squad (live au dome de marseille 2003),
La cavale,
Les petites annonces du carnages,
Le cuir d'une valise usée,
24 heures à vivre

See? not in the top 20 :)



@CT-nb5lm

I love Dudes flow for sure. You know this dude was str8 Pimp before.
His flow on that Ghostface track is still to this very day the best bar dropped imo..
Every verse dude had in those early Wu solo albums was epic.
~Haven't listened to his solo album in detail yet. My 1st listen i wasnt impressed but im gonna go at it again 4sure.
I think The Rza changed when he finally dropped U-god,,inspectahDecks & Capps albums..
I was also not impressed with Inspectah Decks 1st album. I thought for sure id be blown away by it but i wasn't.
I refuse to accpet defeat and gonna relisten..
And i cant even find U-gods 1st album..
If you got a link to the torrent then hit me up.
