Yo VIP, let's kick it

Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby
Alright stop, collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don′t know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gangway
You better hit bull′s eye the kid don′t play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby

Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in and the Vegas are pumping
Quick to the point to the point no faking
I′m cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burning them if you ain't quick and nimble
I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi-hat with a souped up tempo
I′m on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin′ in my 5.0
With my rag-top down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
"Did you stop?" No, I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
The block was dead
Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous cause I'm out getting mine
Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Ready for the chumps on the wall
The chumps acting ill because they′re full of eight ball
Gunshots rang out like a bell
I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue′s packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene you know what I mean
They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem yo I′ll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby

Take heed cause I'm a lyrical poet
Miami′s on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
Cause my style′s like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, this is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step
With this. Shay plays on the fade
Slice like a ninja, cut like a razor blade
So fast, other DJs say "Damn!"
If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
If there was a problem yo I′ll solve it
Check out the hook while D-Shay revolves it

Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby

Yo man let′s get out of here
Word to your mother
Ice ice baby too cold




Ice ice baby too cold too cold
Ice ice baby

Rollin′ in my 5.0
Driving around in my convertible car


With my rag-top down so my hair can blow
My convertible top is off so that my hair can blow in the wind


The girlies on standby waving just to say hi
The girls are waiting and eager to greet me


''Did you stop?'' No, I just drove by
Someone asked if I had stopped, but I didn't even pause


Kept on pursuing to the next stop
I continued to move forward, chasing my goals and dreams


I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
I turned left and went to the next neighborhood


The block was dead
The new area I entered did not have much going on


Yo so I continued to A1A Beachfront Avenue
So I kept moving until I got to the beach


Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis
The women on the beach were very attractive and scantily clad


Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis

Jealous cause I'm out getting mine

Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Shay has a shotgun and Vanilla has a gun


Ready for the chumps on the wall
We are prepared for any rivals waiting on the sidelines


The chumps acting ill because they′re full of eight ball
The rivals are behaving badly because they are under the influence of drugs


Gunshots rang out like a bell
The sound of gunfire could be heard


I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells
I took out my gun and fired back in self-defense


Falling on the concrete real fast
The shells from the gunshots were hitting the ground quickly


Jumped in my car slammed on the gas
I got in my car and drove away quickly


Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
The road was crowded and there was barely any space between cars


I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
I am trying to escape the area before robbers can attack me


Police on the scene you know what I mean
The cops arrived and took control of the situation


They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
The police drove by me and stopped to confront drug users


If there was a problem yo I′ll solve it
If there's a problem, I will take care of it

Listen to the catchy beat that my DJ is creating


Take heed cause I'm a lyrical poet
Pay attention because I am an expert in writing and performing lyrics


Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
I'm from Miami and want to let you know that it's the place to be


My town that created all the bass sound
Miami is known for having a heavy bass sound in its music


Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
The bass is so powerful that it can make the earth shake and create holes


Cause my style's like a chemical spill
My rapping style is explosive and unpredictable


Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
My lyrics are relatable and easy to imagine and connect with


Conducted and formed, this is a hell of a concept
The music and lyrics have been carefully crafted to create a fantastic overall idea


We make it hype and you want to step
Our music is so energetic and exciting that it makes people want to dance


With this. Shay plays on the fade
As our song comes to a close, Shay is changing the rhythm and volume of the music gradually


Slice like a ninja, cut like a razor blade
My words and rhymes are sharp and precise like the weapons of a deadly warrior


So fast, other DJs say ''Damn!''
I perform so quickly and skillfully that other DJs are impressed


If my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram
My lyrics are so addictive and powerful that people would pay a lot of money for them in small amounts


Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
I stay in control of myself even when I am letting loose and having fun


Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice
I am completely drawn in by the microphone and become fully invested in my performance


If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
If there's an issue or conflict, I'll figure it out


Check out the hook while D-Shay revolves it
Listen to the catchy beat that my DJ is creating


Ice ice baby, Ice ice baby
Repeating the title of the song for emphasis

Ice ice baby too cold
Repeating the title of the song for emphasis
