Vanilla Ice Lyrics

Album: Cool as Ice

The people's choice Lyrics

(Performed by Vanilla Ice) 

It's not what you say 

It's how you say it 

Give me a microphone 

On stage, I'll display it 

Playing me right and you'll get played out 

Like Polka dots and people will shout 

Dirty words cause you're a nerd 

I'm first, you're third 

It's absurd to think that you heard 

Better rhymes than these 

I'm bringing sucker MC's, down to their knees 

Tease your thoughts like a feather to atoe 

Although the beat seems slow 

My groove will still flow 

My rhymes are soulful art 

That makes your heart dance 

Melodic tones move your mind to a quick trance 

Everytime I rhyme I find the audience is 

Mine, caught by every line 

Sparkle like a gem with my golden voice 

POSSE: "Why do they love you man?" 

I'm the people's choice 

CHORUS 

I wanna thank you for lettin' me 

Be myself 

I wanna thank you, uh 

Thank you baby 

I wanna thank you for lettin' me 

Be myself 

I wanna thank you, uh 

Thank you baby 

Let's swing it 

Step aside or you'll get stepped on 

Cause I'm steppin' real hard an my rhymes 

are real strong 

Just like Atilla, an MC killer 

A crowd thriller, no once chiller than the man 

With the mic in his hand, I"m a trip 

All the girls on my tip 

Fellas are jealous so I put in the clip 

Of my 9-millimeter, GLOCK at my hip 

fifteen shells all over the place 

They would chase, if it wouldn't disgrace 

The date that they came with 

Cause that would be a dis 

Tsk, tsk, they don't know what they missed 

A chance to dance with the man with 

The golden voice 

POSSE: "Why do they love you, man?" 

I'm the people's choice 

CHORUS 

Sucker MC's - I scare 'em 

Girlies - I gotta love 'em 

Rhymes - comin' out of my ears 

the competition - in tears 

Slick dance moves - by the dozens 

Battles - please step up 'cause I love 'em 

Settin' up suckers like pins on a bowling ball 

And you're gonna fall 

You won't hit, it's a bottomless pit 

Of rhymes, comin' straight from the mind 

Of a genius, and I can't be modest 

When I make a threat, you bet I keep it 

Like a promise, so 

Shake like a leaf when you see me comin' 

Frankly, you're better off runnin', fast 

And don't look back, wack 

Go take a nap, get off that crack, jack 

Crowds move by the sound of my golden voice 

POSSE: "Why do they love you, man?" 

I'm the people's choice
