Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Cold as ice, you know that you are)
(Cold as ice, you're cold as ice to me)
(Cold as ice)
[Verse 2]
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
[Verse 3]
I'd like to welcome muthafuckas to the back of the mind of Bill
See, I'm for real, when deliverin' these M.O.P. tactics
I'll bury you bastards, I custom make caskets
The B.G., the Y.G., even the O.G. told ya, ****
(Told ya, ****, sold ya ****, cobra ****)
I may come with my gun in my hand
To make sure you muthafuckas understand
[Verse 4]
Pardon me, how the fuck you gon' start with me?
I'm a heavyweight in this game, you just spar with me
You get laced down from your face down, drop your shit
**** thought M.O.P. stand for mop and shit
Don't, don't, don't get it twisted
I told you that we top of the line, designed realistic, for instance
Mash Out Posse will come through and clear yo' ass out
Dump and air yo' ass out, chump, we cold
[Verse 5]
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
[Verse 6]
A predicate gun buster, I passed all classes
One of the fastest at blastin' flashes
You seen my work, you know my steez
It's a slim chance that I'ma hesitate to squeeze, please
Money never made me, money never played me
And money bet' not make me, or I break his ass
Subtract his ass when I step through his hood
Fuck droppin' you, I'm into stoppin' you for good
[Verse 7]
Stop him if you could
(You're as cold as ice)
And you'll be stiff as a log in a suit lookin' nice
You's a sinner, ****
(You're as cold as ice)
But you ain't cold enough to freeze hot slugs
When they run up in ya
You ain't in my class, ****, I'm the last ****
You gon' fuck around and get blast, sucka ass ****
The sole survivor, survivor sole
****, you roll and I roll, let's stroll, I told you that I'm cold
[Verse 8]
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
(You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice)
[Verse 9]
Yo, I terrorize guys, exercise street formulas
At hip hop shows, cause pandemonium
Shit, I ain't concerned until it's my turn
I snatch a mic, jump on on the stage
And show my ass like Howard Stern
But not in that form, (hell nah) I perform lyrical heatwaves
That'll keep your brain warm
But when it's on, you fuck around and get ripped up
Or get placed in a bodybag with that ass zipped up
Toe tag 'em
[Verse 10]
Got him
Even ballistics won't be able to tell how the fo'-fo' ragged him
Dragged him halfway down the block
Now you know, where a **** go
When a **** close a **** shop
(You're as cold as ice)
Fuck you, tell me somethin' new
On behalf of the First Family staff and homicide crews
In control, real **** won't fold, I told you we were cold
[Verse 11]
You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice
You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice
You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice
You're as cold as ice, you're willing to sacrifice
