Ice-T - M.V.P.S. Lyrics

[Intro: Ice-T]
Yo, yo, what's up this is MC Ice-T
I'm here to kick off the MVPs for the 90's
You know, I'm talkin about my most valuable player buddies
You know, so I'ma drop them on you like this
Check it out

[Ice-T]
to the brothers who put me on in Hip-Hop
I'm talkin' bout grandmaster Kazz, grandmaster Melle Mel
Afrika Islam, Africa Bambaataa, Roger from Encore Jams out here in L.A.
The Unknown DJ and the man called AJ used to run the radio
Peace out, without you I wouldn't be gettin' it on you know what I'm sayin?
And y'all all are players (players, players)
to some of the rappers that gave me respect when others were dissin' me
I'm talkin' bout the man Jalil, the one Ecstasy
And the man Grandmaster Dee, I'm talkin 'bout Whodini
And also the Force M.D.
You treated a brother real cool back in the day
And I ain't forgot that you know what I'm sayin
all those other rappers were treatin me like suckers, F*CK EM
Cause y'all are players
To Run-D.M.C. who kept rap alive when rap was about to take a dive
You know what I'm sayin? You are the "Kings of Rock"
Peace out, y'all are players

Remember back in the day we used to rob jewelry stores together
To the producers Afrika Islam, the one and only DJ Aladdin (Aladdin, Aladdin)
