Ice-T — Prepared to Die

Watch me flip and rip on the freedom tip Open your mind see the point of the ice pick I stand tall while my brothers still choose to crawl Black power, it's in effect y'all But you don't understand you're still a slave to the man Prepare for revolution Some suckers say we're free, I gotta disagree Half my posse's in the penitentiary So I'm a drop and kick the science with defiance Because I have no alliance With suckas who choose not to act Black when they are Black Get out my face with that, you better ease back Cause Mandela did 27 hard ones Not in a windowed room, but in a barred one While his wife had tears in her eyes The man is a hero, he needs a Nobel Prize But that will never happen, so I'm gonna keep rappin' Freein' my brothers' minds from their entrapment To silence the Ice, they'll probably put a bullet in me But I'm prepared to die and Mandela's free!
