All right, brother, let's do it. All right, stop, collaborate and listen. Ice is back, my brand new invention. Something grabs a hold of me tightly, flowing like a harpoon. Daily and nightly, will it ever stop, y'all? I don't know. Turn off the lights. And I'll glow to the extreme. I'll rock a mic like a vandal, light up a stage, watch it jump like a candle does. Caress the speaker that booms.
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom deadly. When I play a dope melody, anything less than the best is a felony. Love it or leave it, you bet they can't wait. Bet they hit bulls at it. Kid don't play. If it was a problem, I would solve it. Check out the hook on my DJ Revolve's head ice. Vanilla ice. Vanilla ice, ice, baby. Oh, ice, ice, baby. Yeah, ice. Vanilla ice.
Vanilla ice, ice, baby. Oh, ice, ice, baby. Now that the body is jumping, with the bass kicking, the fingers all pumping, quick to the point, to the point, no faking, cooking them seeds like a pound of bacon. Burning up, if we're not quick and nimble. I go crazy when I hear that sim on a high end. With a souped up tempo, I'm on a roll. It's time to go solo rolling.
In my 5.0 with the rack top down so my beat can roll. If it was a problem, I would solve it. Check out the hook while shiny revolves at ice. Vanilla ice. Vanilla ice, ice, baby. Oh, ice, ice, baby. Vanilla ice. Vanilla ice, ice, baby. Oh, ice, ice, baby.
Now that the party is jumping, the bass kicked in, the fingers all pumping, quick to the point, to the point, no faking, cooking them seeds like a pound of bacon.
I signed my first album ever, my first signature ever, to B.B. King. After that moment, I stopped worrying about trying to get a record deal. And whatever the Lord does, whatever Jesus brings me, that's what I'll take, however it goes. And that's where I'm at to this day. You're a blessing, and hopefully I'm a blessing to you.
All right, so that was Vanilla Ice, right? That was Vanilla Ice. You caught it. What made you want to pick that one out of all your repertoire? Well, you know, it was a thing where... Actually, to be honest, I was learning the guitar at the time. I was trying to... Learned how to play guitar, and I was in my early 20s, which is when my music career actually started.
I was in my early 20s, and I started picking around on some things, and I learned those chords, G, D, E minor, and C. And I said, what could I do with this? I'm just playing around, and I played two different songs, because I was big into hip-hop back in the 90s, you know, when I was a young boy. Believe it or not, by looking at me, you wouldn't think that.
But so I was just picking around and the first one was actually not that first one was nothing but a G thing. You ever heard that? Yeah, I have. Yeah. So it was like it was more of a picking thing. So it was like.
