Ice Cream
Wu‐Tang Clan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey mom, can I have some money?
The ice cream man is coming!

[Chorus]
Watch these rap niggaz get all up in your guts
French-vanilla, butter-pecan, chocolate-deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched
And scooped in my ice cream truck, Wu tears it up
(The ice cream man is coming!)

Yo honey-dips, summertime, fine Jheri drippin
See you on Pickens with a bunch of chickens how you're clickin'
I catch 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 Vassey and Lahrule
They call me Starky Love-hun, check the strategy
By any means, Shirley Temple cross was done by Billie Jean's
Black Misses America, your name is Erica, right true
Lazy eyeball, small piece, six shoe
Caramel complexion, breath smellin' like cinnamon
Excuse me hon, the Don mean no harm, turn around again
God damn, backyard's bangin' like a Benz-why
If I was jiggy, you'd be spotted like Spudz McKenzie
I'm high powered put Adina Howard to sleep
Yo pardon, that bitch been on my mind all week, but uhh
Back to you Maybelline Queen let's make a team
You can have anything in this world except CREAM
So whatchu want to do? Whatchu want to do?
Let's go ahead and walk these dogs and represent Wu

[Chorus]

Shaolin's finest, whattup Boo, peace your highness
Yo I'm loungin', big dick style, y'all niggaz is the flyest
Moves you're making too fly jewels are shaking
Not a rape patient, you're looking good fly colored Asian
Ghettoes, them is your hometown, we can go the whole round
After that, I'm shootin' downtown
I'm rockin' hats and you wig is all intact
Who's that queen bee chick, eyes curly 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

[Chorus]

Black chocolate girl wonder, shade brown like Thunder
Politic til 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
Masturbate 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 want to be callin' me cousin
Thirsty for my catalog, baby shoppin' spree you're lovin'
Call me if you want to get dug like the pockets
I jizm like a giant break brooms out of their sockets

Wu-Tang in the cut, for real niggaz what?
It's the after party and bitches want to fuck

[Chorus]

Ice cold bitches melt down when my clutch
And what they titties sucked, ice cream

Yeah, your guts

[Chorus]

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 calling 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, francais, mi amor, merci, oui oui, bon bons




And all that good stuff
That good stuff

Overall Meaning

The Wu-Tang Clan's song "Ice Cream" is a tribute to the joys of summer and the treats that come with it. The song opens with a child asking his mom for money as he awaits the arrival of the ice cream truck. This sets the stage for the rest of the song, which uses ice cream flavors as a metaphor for the different types of women the group encounters. They describe their encounters with women who are "fine Jheri drippin'" and "wicked like Nimrod," among other things. They even go so far as to say that ice cream is being "touched and scooped" in their ice cream truck.


But the song isn't just about women and ice cream; it's also about the group's prowess as rappers. They talk about their attitude being "very rude," like seafood, and how it turns them on like Vassell and La Rule. The lyrics are full of wordplay and puns, showcasing the group's cleverness and skill with language.


Overall, "Ice Cream" is a fun and lighthearted song that celebrates the pleasures of summer and the simple joys in life. It's a testament to the Wu-Tang Clan's ability to have fun with their music while still showcasing their talent as rappers.

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.
