Texican - Ice lyrics
[Texican - Ice lyrics]
My wrist's been feelin like they 32 below
I mean we say we chillin
The frostbite be killin
Better let the ice drip down the
Tree before we're too old
Nobody fit's the crown better than I do
King's gotta be the greatest ruler
Or he die too
Nuisances be sayin I'm a jester in disguise
I be saying mosquitos be pestering my sides
The Old City don't know what hit it
This is a mission
The remission of Hip-hop in this city's
Been a givеn until now
Never underеstimate my power
"210 Will Rise Again" the slogan of the hour
Iron fist with the force of a giant
I ain't let your career live
Take a moment of silence
Now just wait a second
Now if I had your skill and talent seeing
That you're so offbeat
Then that would ruin my city's scene
Not the way I want my city to be
Everybody already poor we're getting poorer
Everybody already broke we're
Hitting the bottom
All this horror is getting to be atomic no
The only Trinity saving us
Now is an explosion
And no I don't mean Revelations
Everyone want something better they
Keep the patience
Or break into neighbors homes
Because they impatient
California be invading the state
My grandparents house was appraised at $200k
Not to be too petty but
My days living in Hildebrand
Numbers like that ain't even
Talked about, man, it's crazy
Throw around 6 figures for shitty houses
Gentrify the neighborhood the people
Start to oust them
Kings turn to peasants after
They robbed of allowance
Daddy won't help me pay the rent
How embarrassing mercedes in the West Side
Means you been ballin or you don't belong
Don't call it don't target
You ain't ever know who makes it
Until they in the hills
Cousins off of Cincinnati been
Paying the bills
Homies here and there graduate
Or keep sleeping
Their bed depends on their outcome
So keep dreaming
Glad to make it out so young to prevent it
Who knows what kind of trouble I'd
Be up to out at Edison
Or Jefferson or anywhere other
Than where I'm hiding
Better leave the past behind me
Before they find me
Better say never to living a life of crime
Money cleaner than the dishes I'm serving
I'm trying
Mothafucka's been so cold
My wrist's been feelin like they 32 below
I mean we say we chillin
The frostbite be killin
Better let the ice drip down the
Tree before we're too old
I've made mistakes and regrets that
I've left in the past
You know your true friends living
Life as an outcast
They're the people who respect
You and your outcomes
Stick with you to the end and
Be there when the time's up
Friends ain't last forever
Lives end like TV shows around here sometimes
I knew a guy who died in
A car crash or something
I knew a guy arrested at 19 or something
I knew a guy who probably
Owes child support or something
The details been hazy I don't really remember
What happened to these people I
Can't really forget though
What everyone remembers is events
And not the people when I die the people say
They know me won't remember
When I die the people say
They know me won't remember
The only people say they really
Know me are my friends
They the only people gonna last
Until the very end, that's a fact
Ice drips down the tree
The branches get the water from the
Ice that's on the leaves
The trunk gets the water from
The branches or eventually
The water drops straight to the ground
You knowing what I mean?
My legacy be living on in friends
Family comes first but friends be
With you til the end
Ever hear the stories of the
Kids they tryna leech
Off billionaire profit they were
Never to receive?
The story being if you hold closely
The family gets the water from
The ice melting slowly
But if luck would have it
And the family grew apart
Your friends would have you at the end just
Like they did it at the start
Mothafucka's been so cold
My wrist's been feelin like they 32 below
I mean we say we chillin
The frostbite be killin
Better let the ice drip down the
Tree before we're too old
