Just-Ice

Just-Ice (born Joseph Williams Jr.) A former bouncer at punk clubs, Ice was one of the first of the New York MCs to embrace hardcore rap, and when he burst out of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, as Just-Ice, he gained instant notoriety. Muscle-bound, tattooed, aggressive—he resembled Mike Tyson in more than just looks—and with a mouthful of gold teeth, which was the style in his neighborhood. His slickly produced debut single "LaToya/Put that Record back On" was an instant hit. However, a more down-and-dirty sound could be found on the 12" B-Side track, "That Girl is a Slut," which, for the time, was relatively profane and owed at least some inspiration to Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick's "La Di Da Di." Released soon afterward, his debut album Back to the Old School pro… more »

This time I'm doing everything I tried to defy
But I see it before my eyes
This world won't change, neither will I
But how long can this fight go on
So much has gone on to find out I was basically a no one
Unimportant I stated my case
But I've another place to be
That's protecting my family
So this time I'll swallow my pride
I'll never give up inside
I know what was done to me
But people need me more than ever
I never want to be absent again
Estranged from my life
I've had enough taken
To be mentally drained wake up physically shaking
Waiting for correspondence
I don't think so
So I'll just swallow my pride
But I pray for you it don't build up inside
Because I won't be so merciful next time
You was all I had
And I had my trust in all of you to be treated this way
But it's time for a new day and a new lease of life
Justice will catch up with you all eventually and I'd moved on to a better life

I never thought I
I never thought I
Another day another time
I never thought
I'd would swallow my pride
I'd never thought I'd swallow my pride

This year I got the greatest news
But it can't be that great without me thinking this way
Everything I had or have is controlled by failure
I want more from my life
So I'll do my best to hold it back
I found out I'm going to be a dad again
And you know what I can't wait
This is a new chapter of my life beginning
Because when you hit a low
The only way is up
I know this from experience
The only thing that will ruin this is not letting things go
So
I'll just quote this
What goes go around comes around
And am not standing down not because am weak
But because am the better man, person and father
I want the best for my partner and children
So I guess I'll leave it for another day another time
But you won't get away with your crimes
You destroying people lives had me on a path that took up most of my time
We can't be having that now
I have a woman to love to marry and children to provide for
Ha more than you done

I never thought I
I never thought I
Another day another time
I never thought
I'd would swallow my pride
I'd never thought I'd swallow my pride

I may have swallowed my pride
But in years from now, I'll have a beautiful bride
A nice house that I'll reside
Children and that's all because I took your advice
Built myself a life
And left you all behind
My own success is mine
It won't be taken away
And you far away
This is my life and how it should stay
And remember justice ain't that far away
Ha justice ain't that far away

I never thought I
I never thought I
Another day another time
I never thought
I'd would swallow my pride
I'd never thought I'd swallow my pride
