mr. al pete - ice man lyrics

[hook]

back when i use to rock the ice man
everything was cool, i was cold, i was nice man
fat string the kicks, on occasions, i was fightin’
that, between the music and the writin’, i was nice in…

i wore ‘em with the hopes of maybe pipin’
the girl next door and become the m. bison
of dakota drive, but i…needed more stripes, maaaann…
…that period of time was so excitin’…

[verse 1]

young, but not a dumb black boy, ridin’ 10 speeds on one wheel
northwest side of the jacksonville
f to the l-a, where n-gg-s just played all day…
ran the school halls and streets, middle school age
6th, 7th and 8th grades, i pushed a’s and b’s out
cool with the ladies, that’s what i be ‘bout
true yellowjacket, but false on the floss
i had seconds on everything my..uncle would toss
and thank god it got me off, ‘cause he was stylin’ on ‘em
he had a flow game too, he was wildin’ on ‘em
spotted the shorts with the name st-tched proudly on ‘em
and i’m like beggin’ ‘momma, let me profile on ‘em’
she was like ‘h-ll no’, granny nudged the elbow
then we fell slooow up in gateway, shorts on my tail, woah…
red with the white st-tch, blue with the white too
i hope this make me cool when i wear them to school…please!

[hook]

back when i use to rock the ice man
everything was cool, i was cold, i was nice man
fat string the kicks, on occasions, i was fightin’
that, between the music and the writin’, i was nice in…

the zone i lived in, i was ‘pose to be a viking
but them ribault trojans was..more of my likin’
fresh shorts ’n sh-t, yeah i felt like a t-tan…
…that period of time was so excitin’…

[verse 2]

i’m cruisin’ the block, like ‘who’s hot?’ big al in tube socks…
…i’m actin’ like yall knew not to f-ck around
while i circle around mahalia and brasque
with no excuse like ah-choo, pepé le pew boy
i’m stinky, i bathe too…times so my wave line can coincide with the troops
or filas for good measures, talk about a good era…
…with windex on the times, it couldn’t get clearer…
…some rocked with nintendo, others with sega…
…some rocked with orange park mall, i knew better…
…norwood is where my black dollars went, ’til they got a second store
didn’t have it at the first, gone hit the second store
in arlington, now i’m all in, moe west on the lick
once a week, i fall in, stickin’ to that too legit
rule that we cultivated in school, stay one up on them fools
and have them girls on your jewels, yessir…!!

back when i use to rock the ice man
everything was cool, i was cold, i was nice man
fat string the kicks, on occasions, i was fightin’
that, between the music and the writin’, i was nice in…

that clothin’ lifestyle because a vice and
n-gg-s got shot, stabbed, robbed at midnight, maaan
on a good flip, we rocked it all with pride, daaammnn…
…that period of time was so excitin’…

[bridge]

we use to be like…fly as h-ll, know what i’m sayin’?
had the little houston oilers shirt, san francisco 49ers
ya know what i’m sayin’?
even the jaguars shirt, yall remember them joints?

[verse 3]

every day was melodic…the minutes was episodic…
‘specially when the chronic dropped and we was on gin and tonic
in-school games, we raced to it to get it-got it
then we switched to ‘how we use to chill in da ville’…bionic
peace to thrill da playa and daddy black, for bringin’ plaques back
to the county, showin’ love all around
turnin’ frowns that we had because the cops stopped us
to a smile ‘cause we proud black boys with some guts
and intelligence, look as now..black excellence
r.i.p. and thanks grandpa, for tellin’ us
that we can be whatever we want, and will be
hard work with a diligent soul, and you’ll see
that these clothes is incentives, -ssets to you
an attribute like crowns to kings, don’t let ‘em tell you a thing
since then, i’ve been lightning man
and i contribute that small part..to rockin’ the ice man’s…yeah!!
