#Nobody ever said life was gon' be easy #But damn.. #Just a kid, moms died when I was seven #Pops died, eleven, what's up with heaven? #It's hell when you're an orphan at a early age #This impressionable stage, no love breeds rage #In the heart of a child who never knew his roots #Looked up to pimps and to hustlers in the eel-skin boots #Parkin Caddies on the sidewalk, gangsta talk #Truckin diamonds and gold #Rubberbands around the bankrolls #Fly girls to make your head spin #Seemed they partied all night long #I was like, "Put me on" #But they said, "Little fellow, run and go play #Take your butt to school or else you'll have to be like us one day" #I didn't understand, but I tried to get a job #While all the players got the girls cause they'd hustle and rob #I was like makin 'bout 1-50 a week #And after taxes, you know what that is - lunch meat #And I know I can be better than this #I gotta get me a car, man #I gotta get a girl #I know I can do it out there, man #I'm finna go for it, man I gotta get some money #Word #Streets of anger, trouble and crime #I had it hard, had to sleep in my car sometime #But I never let another player see me down #I kept my front up, my gear clean #Even when checkin minor green #Brothers knew my game was true #So I hooked up with the real crew #That knew excactly what to do #Bank jobs and jewels, quick to flex with tools #Pimpin hoes on the block #Checkin cash non-stop #Crack spots, armor with interior bars #No lie, I used to own 'bout 15 cars #Every piece Fila made #Drape my women in suede #Pavet Piaget, Cesar's Palace holidays #It was on, crazy out of control #We made up the word 'ballin', that was how we rolled #But the FBI had a-whole-nother idea #It's called multiple indictments for hundreds of years #What #Daff is dead? #Carter got 25 years? #Nah.. #Spike 35 to life? #Nah, don't tell me B.O.'s dead, man #I don't wanna hear that, man #I was just with him #The game is vicious, no retirement, you die young #Listen to a fake, he might tell you to grab a gun #I get phone calls from condemned row #Brothers I ran with, brothers I really know #They tell me, "Ice you got much love in the pen #You're the one that got away, don't wanna see you in" #They tell me, "Tell the little homies the deal #Don't let em come up in this hellish habitat of shanks and steel" #I marched two million strong in D.C. #Lookin eye to eye with brothers that I used to think below me #Damn, my mind was twisted in my hustlin days #But God spared me, I got a baby son to raise #And bein black ain't easy, prejudice is real #But health and liberty is all we need for us to build #We gotta come together, unseparated #Check yourself like I did, blackman, because we're all related ["I Must Stand"]

In creating this web site I am not condoning everything Ice-T has said and done during his life but I am expressing my respect and admiration for his talent as a musician and an actor, and many of his achievements.
