Ice Cream
Raekwon feat Ghostface Method Man & Cappachino 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 features Ghostface, Method Man, and Cappadonna, and is a perfect illustration of Wu-Tang Clan's distinctive and cryptic lyrical style. The song is an ode to different types of ice cream, but the lyrics go deeper than that. The ice cream flavors represent different types of women, with different preferences and personalities. The lyrics make use of wordplay, metaphors, and cultural references, making them harder to decipher. The song portrays different types of women interacting with the Wu-Tang Clan members.


The lyrics refer to "French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe, even caramel sundaes," which the Wu-Tang rappers use as code for different types of women. Raekwon starts the first verse by describing his encounter with a beautiful woman who has a caramel complexion and breath that smells like cinnamon. He later mentions a "lazy eyeball small feet six shoe" girl who seems to have caught his eye. Method Man raps about being attracted to a "sexy persuasive" girl, and Ghostface Killah describes a black chocolate girl wonder who shakes the ground like thunder.

@MJBThePeacekeeper

I'ma drop a verse on this throwback beat. Fuck whoever criticize....

Verse 1:

Whether you ain't trying to be bothered or if you forgotten me
I'm about to disperse all the stagnant monotony
with these critics you know there ain't no pleasing them
their ideas of a perfect song I'm not believing them
the F.L.A.V.O.R that I pack is a limited edition
what you see is hard to find; that's a fact not a prediction
you hip hop fanatics will be real ecstatic
take a stab at it analyzing my rap tactics
fuck with me in rappin' you'll suffer mutilation
you'll get whipped to the point having deep cuts and lacerations
you're a featherweight in hip hop that's my observation
and I'm a lyrical warrior that's my characterization
forget your insignificant insultations
because your trash talkin' is something I'm not facin'
I may not be a fan of exploitation
but when I bust rhymes I do it for recreation
I'm the type of emcee that can't be duplicated
wanna rap like me your skills gotta be quadruplicated
the bars I spit can give you a headrush
defacatin' shitty-ass rappers like a toilet flush
y'all may not hear me flow that much
but I'm something a rookie rapper can never ever touch
so my rhyme techniques aren't they impressive
would you rather for me to be hype or aggressive?
would it uplift you if I drop knowledge or tell a story?
express myself metaphorically or self-explanatory
pen game is precise, freestyle game not so nice
battling I'm not enticed cuz' I'll pay the ultimate price

@wlocas

Yea man, so many arguments with my boys who are all Wu-Tang fans. The whole crew is beast, but there's something about Ghostface man. When I listen to his solo album projects its just, well you know what I mean. Ghostface is a fucking wizard.

@psn-nightmarez_tk-fanboy5899

@William LoCascio he was the most successful out all them when it comes to solo albums. It's not even close.
