O.G. Original Gangster

[00:16.22] Ten years ago
[00:20.84] I used to listen to rappers flow
[00:21.78] Talkin' bout the way
[00:23.54] They rocked the mic at the disco
[00:24.48] I liked how that shit was goin' down
[00:25.34] Dreamt about ripping the mic with my own sound
[00:28.94] So I tried to write rhymes
[00:29.89] Somethin' like them, my boys said
[00:31.69] "That ain't you Ice
[00:32.56] That shit sounds like them."
[00:33.44] So I sat back, thought up a new track
[00:34.31] Didn'T fantasize, kicked the pure
[00:37.94] Facts. Motherfuckers got scared
[00:39.76] Cause they weas unprepaired
[00:40.75] Who would tell it how it relly was?
[00:41.65] Who dared?
[00:43.40] A motherfucker from the West Coast
[00:44.36] L.A. South Central fool
[00:46.10] Where the Crips and the Bloods play
[00:47.99] When I wrote about parties
[00:48.86] It didn't fit
[00:49.78] Six in the Mornin'
[00:50.67] That was the real shit
[00:52.42] O.G. Original Gangster
[00:54.22] O.G. Original Gangster
[00:56.97] O.G. Original Gangster

[01:06.01] O.G. Original Gangster
[01:08.76] O.G. Original Gangster
[01:10.58] O.G. Original Gangster
[01:12.36] When I wrote about parties
[01:13.35] Someone always died
[01:14.23] When I tried to write happy
[01:15.05] Yo I knew I lied, I lived a life of crime
[01:16.90] Why play ya blind?
[01:17.88] A simple look
[01:18.74] And anyone with two cents
[01:19.69] Would know I'm
[01:20.53] A hardcore player fromhe streets
[01:21.49] Rappin' bout hardcore topics
[01:23.21] Over hardcore drum beats
[01:25.06] A little different
[01:25.95] Than the average though
[01:26.86] Jet you thru the fast lane
[01:27.72] Drop ya on death row
[01:29.65] Cause anybody who's been there
[01:30.53] Knows that life ain't sho lovely
[01:33.22] On the blood-soaked fast track
[01:34.14] That invincible shit don't work
[01:35.90] Throw ya in a joint
[01:37.70] You'll be comin' out feet first
[01:38.61] So I blst the mic with my style
[01:40.42] Sometimes I'm ill
[01:42.23] The other times buck wild
[01:44.09] But the science is always there
[01:44.98] I'd be a true sucker
[01:46.77] If I acted like I didn'T care
[01:47.65] I rap for brothers just like myself
[01:50.40] Dazed by the game
[01:51.33] In a quest for extreme wealth
[01:53.14] But I kick it to you hard and real
[01:54.96] One wrong move, and you caps peeled
[01:57.69] I ain't no super hero
[01:58.58] I ain't no Marvel Comic
[01:59.40] But when it comes to game I'm atomic
[02:02.19] At droppin' it straight
[02:03.06] Point blank and untwisted
[02:03.94] No imagination needed, cause I lived it
[02:06.69] This ain't no fuckin' joke
[02:08.49] This shit is real to me
[02:09.34] I'm Ice-T

[02:23.90] O.G. Original Gangster
[02:24.71] Two weeks ago I was out at the disco
[02:25.63] Two brothers stepped up to me
[02:26.60] And said
[02:28.43] "Hey yo, Ice
[02:30.25] We don't think you're down
[02:32.00] What set ya claimin'?"
[02:33.82] E drew the Glock, yo my set's aimin'!
[02:34.72] Dumb motherfucker
[02:35.66] Try to roll on me, please!
[02:36.52] I'm protected by a thousand emcees
[02:37.47] And hoodlums and hustlers
[02:38.30] And bangers with Jeri curls
[02:39.29] We won't even count the girls
[02:40.15] Cause they got my back
[02:41.08] And I got theirs too
[02:41.99] Fight for the streets
[02:42.86] When I'm on Oprah or Donahue
[02:43.74] They try to sweat a nigga
[02:45.64] But they just didn'T figure
[02:46.54] What my wit's as quick as a hair trigger
[02:48.34] "He's not your everyday-type
[02:51.08] Prankster."
[02:51.94] I'm Ice-T, the original gangster
[02:56.41] So step to me
[03:12.77] If you think that you're ready to
[03:14.52] Got on your bullet proof?
[03:15.42] Well mine's goin' right thru
[03:16.34] This ain't no game to me
[03:18.16] It's hollow fame to me
[03:19.07] Without respect frome streets
[03:20.89] So I don't claim be
[03:21.78] The hardest motherfucker on earth
[03:22.62] Catch me slippin, I can even get worked
[03:26.22] But I don'T slip that often
[03:27.28] There's a coffin
[03:28.18] Waitin' for the brother
[03:29.00] Who comes off soft when
[03:30.70] The real fuckin' shit goes down
[03:31.76] Take a look around
[03:33.53] All them pussies can be found
[03:35.36] They talk a mean fight
[03:36.22] But fight like hoes
[03:37.15] I'm from South Central, fool
[03:38.95] Where everything goes
[03:39.88] Snatch you out your car so fast
[03:41.67] You'll get whiplash
[03:42.56] Numbers on your roof top
[03:43.47] For when the copters pass
[03:45.26] Gang bangers
[03:46.12] Don't carry no switch blades
[03:47.11] Every kid's got a Tec 9 or a
[03:48.05] Hand grenade
[03:49.84] Thirty-seven killed
[03:50.78] Last week in a crack war
[03:51.65] Hostges tied up
[03:52.59] And shot in a liquor store
[03:54.32] Nobody gives a fuck
[03:56.18] "The children have to go to school."
[03:57.93] Well, moms, good luck
[03:58.88] Cause the shit's fucked up bad
[03:59.75] I use my pad and pen
[04:01.63] And my lyrics break out mad
[04:03.47] I try to write about fun
[04:04.37] Andthe goodtimes
[04:05.25] But the pen yanks away and explodes
[04:07.06] And destroys the rhyme
[04:07.96] Maybe it's just cause of where I'm from
[04:10.65] L.A. that was a shot gun!
