crank it up, yo, and let me hear that system bump.
cuz with this here i gotta get over the hump.
and you know what that means (that means)
kickin´ out funky rhymes "g" (rhymes "g")
i got the funky rjymes that´ll please (that´ll please).
and my jams break overseas (overseas)
so when i come to town be prepared to be hyped up.
cuz when the mics turned on i get psyched up (psyched up)
the v.i.p. gets it started with intro.
bustin´ smooth moves on top of instrumental
turn up the beats in the jeeps louder
here we go y´all - with minutes of power
minutes of power
minutes of power
when i step to the mic - bro.
vanilla ice does it right
and what i´m sayin´ is - yo!
ya suckers frontin´ what ya wantin´ is for me to fade
thought i was outta here fools,
i ain´t goin´ away.
back with the track that will keep my bank fat.
hua! vanilla´s got the flavor for the funky format.
an´ if you´re not givin´ up the credit i seek -
vip´s in the house and they´re ready to creep.
now whatcha gonna do when my boys are on you?
you know a hard head makes for a soft shoe.
so turn it up for the passengers - louder!
it´s vanilla killa with minutes of power.
walk through the smoke on the stage
and the girls scream.
ice gets em hot, then they melt like ice cream.
flowin´ with the swiftness
kickin´ it with the quickness.
fell´s gettin jealous cuz their girlies want a quick kiss.
when i´m rolllin´ around in my 5.0 drop top
turning up the sounds,
cuz i wanna bump the hip hop.
people gettin´ mad cuz they hear the big bass hit.
i turn it up more just to let cha know i won´t quit.
ice has got it locked down and theres no stoppin´ it.
when i hear a track like this
you know that i´ll be rocking it.
sounds so sweet, it could never be sour
here we go y´all with the
m.......minutes of power.
now´s the time for the ice to let a rhyme rip.
loadin´ up my lyrics with a 9 double m clip.
shootin´ all enemies, you´re not even a friend of me
i ain´t spike lee so i do the wrong thing "g."
so down with luther campbell oh no.
i don´t think so.
travel state to state an´ and the ice man rips shows
steppin´ in my path an´ you might get broken
i got it goin´ on an´ you know i ain´t jokin´.
power every hour an´ the ice keeps risin´.
sellin´ out arenas so don´t look surprised
when vanilla shows up an´ the place explodes.
an´ if ya missed it - catch the next episode!
gather up your troops,
rush ´em to the record store -
an´ pick up the new lp from the ice man.
so let the funk flow louda´
and le me hit cha - hit cha - hit cha
with the, with the
minutes, minutes,
minutes of power..
