Prepared To Die Lyrics - O.g. Original Gangster - Ice T

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, it7s in effect y'all 

But you don't understand 

You're still a slave to the man 

Prepare for revolution 

Some sucker 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!
