Treat ’Em Right

Lyrics

[Intro] Sing it [Verse 1] Nineteen ninety, V-Ice jumps up on the scene With a lean and a pocket full of green The green doesn't symbolize, I made it on the top But Robocop last year was a shock The tone of the Popeye cut shook your butt Kids are screaming; the media says, "What Kind of music is this for you to dance to?" The man with the plan and the man demands you Leave the smack and the crack for the wack Throw the vial in the Nile; keep a smile like that Leave the knife and the gun in the store And ignore temptation, sent by the nation Racial gain causes pain; need a new rep In your hearts and minds, never forget Yusef Hawkins, and when you're walking, you don't just run Black on black; remember that; it's important Anyway, the struggle is won, brings forth the fun No hatred; the summer's almost done No time for sleep, jump in your Jeep And pump up the funky beat a whole week Beeper goes off, yo, smash it to trash it You're too young to be plumped in a casket Just get your boys and bring the noise And just swing it, and party people, sing it [Verse 2] Kids in the crib want dibs on the big man "Can he come out? Can he come out and slam a jam? I'm his number one fan, yes I am" All these kids realize I'm the man Six foot three and maybe a quarter of an inch bigger Than last year, but still a unique figure Rob Swinger, Doc No, Dinky, and Hot Dog know That I'm a man who was born to have a mic on Next to me at all times, ready to kick a rhyme That will keep me out of financial bind That's why when it comes to fans, I'm never mean Kids on St. James between Gates and Greene Always says hello, 'cause I'm a modest fellow Never try to play a superstar that's mellow 'Cause if these kids don't go buy our records We'll be has-beens, plus naked So we owe them, so pull out your pen Sign an autograph, you might make a new friend So just get your boys and bring the noise and just swing it And party people in the house, sing it [Bridge] Party people in the house, listen up I'm the man with the plan and the band rips it up Party people in the house, listen up Party people in the house, listen up And leave the guns and have fun; out! And oh yeah, sing it [Verse 3] Well, coming back To nineteen ninety, V-Ice jumps up on the scene With a lean and a hardcore dream The dream wasn't crafted to be pornographic Decency started from the crib, plus kids Don't need to hear all of that on the rap The strength of my vibe placed Ice on the map 'Cause authority, seniority goes far My staff gives autographs plus gives 'nuff laughs Read my mic, heed my sight, I'll definitely lead you right Just treat me right, peace!
