Do you ever see that stuff that be
 
 when it get cold that ice that you can't see?
 
 See that shit happens sometimes
 
 Yep, black ice
 
  
  [Verse 1: Gipp]
 
 Now you know and I know I done bumped every hole in the wall
 
 did catch that phone call most of y'all did admit 
 
 thought it was tall, Gipp flipped like a dip
 
 slipped fell on the black ice
 
 Did you think twice, homeslice came and he went
 
 Satisfied got bent bars ain't shit
 
 Meetin coast to coast yeah I laughed and boast
 
 Man do-si-dos, too many comin close to
  
 
 [Chorus]
 
 Touch what I never touched befo', seen what I never seen befo'
 
 Woke up and seen the sun sky high, sky high
  
 
 [Verse 2]
 
 Circulate like a Sunday paper
 
 Capers caught long time, to cheap flicks, good picks
 
 Paid hard, watch the hard turn sideways
 
 Pick the tale for real sales to those who lose cash
 
 Players keep your life for now
 
 Feelin good and warm, windows rolled tight
 
 Thirty-five degrees, nippy tonight, don't forget the chapstick
 
 Lips dry quick, when the jack out
 
 Make you wanna act out, take the slack out
 
 Some people black out, hibernatin 'til we came back out
  
 
 [Chorus] - 2X
  
 
 [Verse 3]
 
 I been in it for the past few days
 
 Tighter than fades I'm knowin my plays
 
 Now can I rap? Can I adapt? Not really sure yet
 
 Who that lookin over the shoulders of those writin dreams
 
 Fiendin for the taste of menthol
 
 Missed class stayed in the hall
 
 Lookin for a squeeze play, better yet a holiday
 
 Stayed away from the pyramid board game 
 
 Broke it down to a neighborhood slang
 
 Cash befo' fame
  
 
 sky high (repeat 10X)
  
 
 [Verse 4: Big Boi]
 
 Now who done stepped in?
 
 The nigga the B-I-B the secret weapon Boi
 
 Slicker that Black Ice, throwin these flows like rice at weddings
 
 So quit flexing, we speakin about
 
 somethin that's refreshin to the earlobes
 
 Pay for the room and still be in pimp mode
 
 Like icebergs, Chryslers and Buicks
 
 Some niggaz ain't on they jobs so them suckers here to lose it
 
 Abuse they priveldges and now the whole village is, been shot to pieces
 
 Cause niggaz are bitin that same stupid shit I mean that feces
 
 Boy don't beep me, if you ain't got no work 
 
 I'm strictly bout these verses like the ones you hear at church boy
 
 search boy, talkin about your dough and punk like lurch boy
 
 Every time I heard you rhymin like a fucking jerk boy; simp, yeah!
  
 
 [Verse 5: Andre Benjamin]
 
 Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me yo' eardrums
 
 It was a beautiful day off in the neighborhood
 
 Yellows and greens and blues and browns 
 
 and greys and hues that ooze beneath dilapidated woods
 
 Ain't a thing could explain what pertains
 
 to cocaine it's a stain that rain
 
 See summer roll around niggaz holla bout change
 
 Then they steady move them ki's like Bob James
 
 Cause old man winter's arrived, the temperature dives
 
 November just died, December's alive
 
 Thus it ain't no typical ride
 
 Just individual's way to bring home
 
 the bacon when bacon was all gone
 
 Makin it our own, takin me all wrong 
 
 We've all indulged in the bulge of those no-no's
 
 No you ain't solo, it's even lower levels you can go
 
 Take sun people, put 'em in a land of snow
  
 
 [Chorus]
