Ice, baby
I saw your girlfriend and she was
Eating her fingers like they're just another meal
But she waits there in the levee washes
Mixin' cocktails with a plastic-tipped cigar

My eyes stick to all the shiny robes
She wear on the protein delta strip
In an abandoned house, but I will wait there
I'll be waitin' forever

I'm waitin', waitin', waitin', waitin'
Waitin', waitin', waitin', waitin', go

Minerals, ice deposit daily
Drop off the first shiny robe
I've got a lotta things I want to sell, but
Not here, babe
You took 'em all

Every time I sit around, I find I'm shot
Every time I sit around, I find I'm shot
Every time I turn around, my friend
Every time I sit around, my friend
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Every time, every time, every time

You're my
Summer babe
Summer babe
Summer babe
Summer babe

    Correct lyrics:

    Ice baby, I saw your girlfriend and she was eating her fingers like they're just another meal But she waits there In the levee wash mixing cocktails with a plastic-tipped cigar

    My eyes stick To all the shiny robes You wear on the protein delta strip In an abandoned houseboat, I will wait there I'll be waiting forever I'm waiting waiting waiting waiting Go!

    Minerals, ice deposits daily Drop off the first shiny robe I've got a lot of things I want to sell but not here, babe you took 'em all

    Every time I sit around I find I'm shot Every time I sit around I find I'm shot Every time I sit around Every time I sit around Every time, every time, every time, every time...

    You're my summer babe Summer babe

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
