Maybe ya'll need some harder nostalgia...
Ice T, Original Gangster, 1991
"The Tower" I'm rollin' up in a big gray bus And I'm shackled down, myself that's who I trust The minute I arrived some sucker got hit Shanked ten times behind some bullshit Word in the pen the fool was a snitch So without hesitatin' I made a weapon quick If found a sharp piece of metal, taped it to a stick Then a bullhorn sounds, that means it's time for chow My first prison meal, the whole feeling was foul It wasn't quite my style, but my stomach growled So I flushed the shit down and hit the weight pile. The brothers was swole, the attitudes was cold Felt the tension on the yard from the young and the old But I'm a warrior, I got my ground to hold So I studied the inmates to see who had the power the Whites? The Blacks? Or just the gun tower! In a blink of an eye, a riot broke out Blacks put their backs to the wall cause it was north and south A gun man shouts and everybody had doubt Until the bullets started fly'n, took two men out Then they rushed everybody back to their cells Damn the pen is different than the county jail I'm in a one man cell, I know my life's on a scale I wonder if that gunman is goin' to hell This is my second day, I got a ten year stay I learned my first lesson, in the pen you don't play I saw a brother kill another cause he said he was gay But that's the way it is, it's been that way for years And when his body hit the ground I heard a couple of cheers It kind of hurt me inside, that they were glad he died So I ask myself just who had the power? The Whites? The Blacks? Or just the gun tower! You see the Whites got a thing they call White pride The Blacks got the muscle, mexicans got the knives You better be wise, you wanna stay alive Go toe to toe with a sucka no matter what size A fool tried to sweat me act'n like he was hard I stuck him twice in the neck and left him dead in the yard It was smooth how I did it cause nobody could see With my jacket on my arm and my knife on the side of me Bam bam, it was over, another one bites the dust I went crazy in the pen with nobody to trust Bench'n ten quarters, so I'm hard to sweat Used a tat gun, and engraved my set They call me a lifer cause I'm good as dead I live in the hole, so the floor's my bed And I ask myself again who has the power The Whites? The Blacks? Or just the gun tower? |
OLD SCHOOL MUH FUCKA!! The legends wont never die
|

Ice T was badly hated aswell wen he came to UK a few months ago...
It was quite uncalled for..!! |

Dope song.
I still find it bullshit how his "Cop Killer" song was bashed by the critics and received so much contorversy but Eric Clapton's similarly themed "I Shot The Sheriff" remake went straight to the top of the charts. |
Nineteen ninety one isn't old school dumbfucks.
Please don't make a nostalgia forum. |
