High Rollers

Ice T

Speed of life fast it's like walkin' barefoot over broken glass

It's like jumpin' rope on a razor blade

All lightning quick decisions are made

Lifestyle plush females rush

This high profile personality who earns his pay illegally

Professional liar schoolboys admire

Young girls desire very few live to retire

Cash flow extreme dress code supreme vocabulary obscene

Definition street player you know what I mean



The high rollers (x2)



People of the city,stop foolin' yourself

Crime rules the streets,who the hell else

All the police have gone out to play

Because for enough cold cash they'll look the other way

Just look at the cars as they go by

Benz,Ferraris,trucks up high

Beepers connecting players to big-time deals

With all of this technology who needs to steal

Just live a life of leisure every night and day

And you're livin' proof that crime does pay

Your life is dangerous and reckless

You eat fly guys and girls for breakfast

You're a titan of the nuclear age

Your muscles flex with a Uzi or 12 gauge

And you love the game,that's why you boast

Because you're high priced,high speed.high post



You're a high roller



High rollers



When I say high rollers,I mean the best

Forget the half-steppers,eject the rest

Because these high ranked officials of our city streets

Make millions all triggered by electric beeps

They dress in diamonds and rope chains

They got the blood of SCARFACE runnin' through their veins

Silk shirts,leather suits,hair always fresh

Eelskin boots,large hearts,though their sizes vary

Bankrolls that take 2 pockets to carry

Cruisin' in their 500 Benz Sedan

With their systems peaked out rockin' PUSHER MAM

Yes,their fashion's high and hard to beat

They buy their GUCCI from GUCCI'S not the swapmeet

Eat very weel,much clientele

And whatever you need,they probably sell



The high rollers (x2)



Oh yes,I'm here to tell you females also roll

Drive the same cars,somethimes wear more gold

Cold as an igloo,or hot as a flame

They'll shake ya,break ya and you won't know their name

Gangsters to the max,all marks will be taxed

These girls drive FERRARIS not CADILLACS

Respect is demanded,most men don't understand it

Till they peep the huge bank that these girls have landed

They're junkies for fun,love life on the run

And if things get hot,they will pull a gun

Prey on the lame,no shame to the game

And they all seek POWER,fuck the fame



The high rollers (x2)



Now radio stations probably won't play

This record because of the things I say

They'll say I'm glamorizing the hustlin' hood

And a record like this can do no good

But I'm not here to tell ya right or wrong

I don't know which side of the law you belong



Yes,the game has flash,but sometimes hurts

Behind any mistake,hard times lurks

And jail's not your only problem,though it may seem

You just may die by a barrage from an M-16

But to each his own,choose the mobile phone

The tailored suit,the luxury home

You'll never get caught,'cause you got nerves of ice

And you're much smarter than those crooks on Miami Vice

Right

You wanta be a high roller
